Consulting & Training
We offer consultancy and training services for the battery value chain, drawing on our deep insider knowledge, worldwide connections, and experience working with top battery firms.
We offer business strategy guidance and evaluate the cost structures and drivers involved in manufacturing battery materials, allowing you to compare your expenses with industry benchmarks. Additionally, we provide cost modelling tools to analyse how factors such as raw material prices, plant locations, process enhancements, and technological advances affect total ownership costs. Our expertise extends to assessing battery raw materials through to Cathode and Anode materials, including recycling processes. For further information, please review our previous projects.
Our technical consulting services encompass the entire value chain, from raw materials through to battery cell design and production. Leveraging our global network of battery experts with extensive industry knowledge, we are well positioned to support the enhancement of your products and processes.
We help you identify and secure top manufacturing partnerships and technology licensing agreements in the battery sector. Our team supports you from partner selection to contract negotiation, ensuring your objectives are achieved and risks reduced. We often serve as your long-term sparring partner throughout the project, providing interim professional expertise as needed.
We provide comprehensive support for battery asset transactions through mergers and acquisitions. Our team offers deep market insights, expert due diligence, and strong deal execution capabilities to help you achieve your M&A goals. We frequently collaborate with leading strategy consulting firms, such as Roland Berger and Capgemini.
We offer comprehensive technical support for both cell pilot line and commercial line manufacturing. Our team assists in optimizing your production processes, improving quality, and advising on industry-leading battery practices and technologies. Additionally, we frequently deploy our experts on-site to facilitate direct knowledge transfer from seasoned Asian battery professionals to your local teams.
Our on-site training provides your teams with practical experience in lab-based material validation and reliable cell production, along with advanced expertise in cell manufacturing through our partners’ pilot lines. This approach enhances production efficiency, improves quality, and strengthens problem-solving capabilities.
Benchmarking & Prototyping
We offer comprehensive benchmarking and product validation services for battery materials, adhering to industry standards and utilising an extensive electrochemical database. Our team conducts material benchmarking and evaluates key properties including capacity, energy density, power density, cycle life, and safety through rigorous testing protocols.
Through our tailored battery cell benchmarking and cell teardown services, we deliver comprehensive insights into cell design, structure, materials, components, and performance across various cell types. These services support our clients in enhancing their products and achieving greater competitiveness in the market.
We offer specialised cathode and anode electrode formulation services tailored to various materials, including LFP, LMFP, and NMC cathodes, as well as graphite and silicon anodes. Our approach enables further optimisation through the integration of additives such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Carbon Black. Leveraging our internal high-throughput testing capabilities, we efficiently assess multiple samples to enhance material selection and formulation processes.
We provide customised projects focused on cell design and battery cell prototyping, aiming to improve battery chemistry and overall battery cell performance for consumer products, electric vehicles, and defence applications. Our prototype battery cells are available in pouch, prismatic, and cylindrical cell formats. We have particular expertise in cylindrical cell prototyping, offering formats such as 18650, 2170, and 46x variants. To find out more, please review our previous projects.
We provide comprehensive analysis which involves using different analytical tools to determine the chemical composition, morphology and crystal structure of the active materials and additives in the electrodes. Some of the tools we use are energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Further we apply gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to identify and quantify the organic and inorganic components of the electrolyte, such as solvents, salts, additives and impurities.
We validate battery materials and prototype battery cells to accelerate your commercial offtake and build customer confidence.
Products & Manufacturing-as-a-Service
Our offerings are tailored to efficiently support cell manufacturing ramp-up by reducing capital expenditure and risk, while delivering access to best in class battery technologies and manufacturing expertise from Asia through service.
We supply premium cathode active materials (CAM), including both our own Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP), available as powders or coated electrodes. Our LFP and LMFP powders are manufactured through an exclusive partnership in Asia, with our partner company producing several hundred thousand tons annually.
We offer coated electrodes tailored to your specific chemical requirements, available in both roll and sheet forms. Every batch supplied includes quality certificates and detailed testing data. Thanks to our advanced dry room coating lines, we support a range of chemical formulations and are capable of producing up to 1.0 GWh of electrodes per year.
We partner exclusively with SZJ Automation Ltd., a leading cell manufacturing equipment supplier with 20+ years’ experience, specialising in prismatic and cylindrical formats for top Korean and Chinese manufacturers. Together we supply SZJ equipment to Europe and provide comprehensive after-sales support. Our global battery experts assist throughout each project, and we offer prototyping of your preferred format before you invest in a full production line.
With our strong experience and network in the battery industry, we offer tailored sourcing solutions to meet your needs. Whether you are looking for cathode materials, electrolytes, separators, current collectors, or complete cells, we can connect you with the ideal suppliers. Our offerings also include various materials such as Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC, series 5-9) and Sodium-ion (Na-ion) products. Additionally, we manage the logistics to deliver sourced products directly to your location or warehouse.
