The Beginning

We are global leaders in producing high-quality battery materials,
harnessing the potential of waste to create innovative solutions. This
approach reduces fuel consumption and supports the shift to
cleaner technologies, reflecting our commitment to sustainability in
the energy industry.

It all started when an entrepreneur with a vision to decarbonize
economies, met a leading battery engineering scientist, who had
developed the finest battery material, in the backyard of his home. The
driving force behind the idea to start a battery material company lies in
the belief of a potential technology, a guaranteed supply of raw material
and a desire to be at the forefront of making a significant impact in the
supply of battery material solutions, in a rapidly evolving world.

Since 2018, we have been dedicated to perfecting the art and science
of advanced battery materials. This is our story of when inspiration met
innovation.
