6K Appoints Three Seasoned Battery Industry Experts to Fuel 6K Energy Division Expansion. Sam Trinch named President of the 6K Energy Division

"6K Energy has developed strategic relationships with the battery industry's most iconic brands from OEMs, cell manufacturers, battery manufacturers and battery material suppliers who are looking to 6K for high-performance battery materials at significantly lower costs," said 6K CEO Dr. Aaron Bent. "These organizations along with US government agencies have placed a very high importance on domestic battery material production to help solve supply chain and national security issues. The experience Sam, Chad and Thanh bring to 6K Energy allows us to deepen these relationships and enables 6K Energy to better understand domestic production demand requirements. This team will transform this critical information into operational and manufacturing strategies for future 6K Energy production sites designed to help meet the customer demands."

New 6K Energy President Sam Trinch commented, "Dr. Richard Holman, our senior vice president of battery products, was able to take a concept from the additive metals market and develop a truly transformational production platform for battery materials in 36 months. The process significantly drives down costs for our customers while greatly reducing water and energy use and waste creation. For example, a typical automotive program of 100k EVs leveraging 6K Energy's solution can save over $100M of cost and can eliminate CO₂ emissions equivalent to what 15M trees will do in a three-year period. This allows everyone in the ecosystem to be more competitive in the market, while maintaining margins they and their investors expect."

Trinch added, "Joining a team that already had the vision to invest over $30M in a state-of-the-art Battery Center of Excellence, housing a 400MWhr pilot production facility, speaks volumes to the commitment and opportunity for 6K Energy. When you couple the cost savings and sustainability benefits of the UniMelt process over legacy production technologies, our solution will become the go-to battery material production platform. The advantages 6K Energy offers in the market are truly unique and I'm thrilled to lead such an innovative team."

About 6K

6K represents 6000 degrees, setting 6K technology apart from all others. It is the temperature of operation of UniMelt^® (5778K to be exact), the world's only microwave production scale plasma, and is also the temperature of the surface of the sun.

6K uses proprietary advanced plasma processing and industrial systems to create materials that are enabling the next-generation of commercial and consumer products. The company's continuous UniMelt process allows for complete and unprecedented control of the entire materials engineering process, to produce materials at exact specifications.

The 6K Additive division is an ISO9001 facility, reclaims and processes over a million pounds of Ti-64 per year, and has recently built and commissioned a state-of-the-art 48,000 square foot production facility for additive manufacturing powders.
