Imerys announces a new investment to support the fast growing market of
lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles
Imerys, a global leader in graphite & carbon solutions, announces today that it
will expand its carbon black production capacity at its plant in Willebroek,
Belgium, to meet the increasing demand for its specialty conductive additives
in particular for lithium-ion batteries.
This investment of EUR60 million over a two-year period follows the capacity
expansion of synthetic graphite announced last September at its plant in Bodio,
Switzerland, both aiming to support the strong growth of the electric vehicle
market worldwide.
With a unique portfolio of natural and synthetic graphite powders, conductive
carbon blacks and tailor-made dispersions, Imerys will continue to develop
innovative materials for safer and higher-performing batteries in close
cooperation with the leading lithium-ion battery producers in the world.
The world leader in mineral-based specialty solutions for industry, with EUR3.8
billion revenue and 16,400 employees in 2020, Imerys delivers high value-added,
functional solutions to diversified set of industrial sectors, from processing
industries to consumer goods. The Group draws on its knowledge of applications,
technological expertise and its material science know-how to deliver solutions
based on beneficiation of its mineral resources, synthetic minerals and
formulations. These contribute essential properties to customers' products and
performance, including refractoriness, hardness, conductivity, opacity,
durability, purity, lightness, filtration, absorption and repellency. Imerys is
determined to develop responsibly, in particular by fostering the emergence of
environmentally-friendly products and processes.
