IBU-tec advanced materials AG Receives Battery Material Development and Production Order from Global Automotive Group

Weimar, 4 April 2023 – IBU-tec advanced materials AG (“IBU-tec”, ISIN: DE000A0XYHT5) has reached another milestone in the LFP battery material market. A contract has been signed with a renowned global automotive group for the development and production of battery material for electromobility. The plan is to produce a novel LFP cathode material for passenger cars with electric drives. Following the development phase, IBU-tec will produce significant quantities of the material at the Weimar site beginning as early as the second half of 2023. Confidentiality was agreed on further details of the cooperation.

Thus, another major automotive group has now been acquired as a customer for cooperation in the field of LFP battery material. This represents another important step for IBU-tec towards its 2025 sales target, to which battery materials are expected to make a significant contribution.

Ulrich Weitz, CEO of IBU-tec advanced materials AG and CEO of the wholly owned subsidiary IBUvolt battery materials GmbH: “Our strategy is to use our many years of experience in the field of battery materials, and as the only European manufacturer of LFP materials, to directly address the globally active corporations and win them as customers. The strategy is working – both for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The major players in the global automotive industry obviously rely on IBU-tec’s expertise, innovative strength and production quality. The contract now signed is an important step, but only the beginning of a development that will magnify our battery material sales and secure IBU-tec’s sustainable prosperity. We are currently in numerous discussions with other potential partners.”
