Altris AB, the Swedish battery materials companyopened its first office in China to provide tailored local support to new and existing customers.
The Chinese headquarter is based in Guangzhou and the team will work to promote the company’sinnovative cathode material, Fennac, to the Chinese market, as well as providetailored local support to new and existing customers.
The opening of the new office comes at a time where interest inproducing sodium-ion batteriesis high and when there is generally a global increased demand for batteries. Chinese battery giant CATL also recently declared that they believe the performance of sodium-ion batteries to be roughly the same, or even better than the lithium-ion batteries they currently produce, in all aspects. CATL has led the way and has announced that there will be a value chain to produce such batteries by 2023.
Since CATL’s announcement,interest in Fennac has notably increased. As interest in Altris’ product grows in China, the local sales and support team will expand to match customer’s needs.The company is also planning to scale up production of Fennac to an industrial level in 2022. This includes the building of a new industrial scale manufacturing unit in Sweden, with the annual capacity to produce 2,000 tonnes of the cathode Fennac®, enabling 1GWh of sustainable batteries.
