ECOPRO BM has taken a license from CAMX POWER to the latest GEMX® platform of cathode active material for lithium-ion batteries

"Cathode materials are the key enablers of lithium-ion batteries and their costliest component. Only a handful of companies across the globe can and do supply this critical material, with ECOPRO BM being a major one. CAMX is privileged that ECOPRO BM has added the GEMX platform to its portfolio of battery technology choices," said Dr. Kenan Sahin, Founder and President of CAMX.

"Cathode materials are the key enablers of lithium-ion batteries and their costliest component. Only a handful of companies across the globe can and do supply this critical material, with ECOPRO BM being a major one. CAMX is privileged that ECOPRO BM has added the GEMX platform to its portfolio of battery technology choices," said Dr. Kenan Sahin, Founder and President of CAMX.

"With ECOPRO BM joining Umicore, L&F, LGES, EV Metals, and Samsung SDI as licensees of GEMX, this multi-product cathode platform becomes more central to cathodes. Instead of attempting production ourselves, CAMX, through license agreements like these can have its inventions rapidly and more broadly come to market for the benefit of society," continued Sahin.

About ECOPRO BM 

ECOPRO BM Co., LTD (KRX : 247540) is a world-class company which leads the high-capacity cathode active material (CAM) market at home and abroad based on its success in developing and mass-producing high-nickel CAM for the first time in Korea.  Its main products are high-nickel NCA and NCM with a nickel content of more than 80%, and it is the only company in Korea that produces the above two kinds of CAM simultaneously.

In recent years, ECOPRO BM has expanded its product portfolio to include mid- to low-priced CAM such as high-voltage mid-nickel, Co-free NM, OLO, LFP and SIB to meet the diverse needs of the market.  Also, it has been taking proactive management activities to preempt the market by expanding domestic and overseas production capacity and reducing investment costs per unit.

In addition to CAM, ECOPRO BM has been actively developing silicon-based anode active materials and solid electrolytes, as other major components of batteries, with the aim of mass-production.

As such, ECOPRO BM strives to provide the highest quality battery materials to our customers through continuous technological innovation and expansion of production capacity to keep pace with the changing market environment.
