Core offering

EverZinc manufactures and globally distributes specialty zinc materials including fine zinc powders (FZP), zinc oxides via both direct/American and indirect/French processes, alloyed zinc battery materials (ZBM), and Zano® ultrafine zinc oxide. The company operates 14 production sites across North America, Europe, and Asia, producing approximately 100,000 tons/year of fine zinc powder and 75,000+ tons/year of zinc oxide for industrial customers in rubber, pharmaceutical, agriculture, battery, paints/coatings, and personal care sectors.

Product overview

EverZinc is a global provider of specialty zinc materials offering four core product lines: Fine Zinc Powder (FZP) with 100,000 tons/year capacity, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) with over 75,000 tons/year capacity, Zinc Battery Materials (ZBM) for primary and rechargeable batteries, and Zano® ultrafine zinc oxide for cosmetics/skincare applications. The portfolio includes various grades (EPM, Gold/White/Red/Platinum Seal, Green Seal) produced via American (direct) and French (indirect) processes, plus specialized variants like alloyed zinc powders, 0G zero-gassing powders, and GMP-certified pharmaceutical grades. The EverCare sub-brand handles personal care products (Zano®, Xperse®, Assure+®, Tenray®) while the Rechargeable Zinc Materials business unit focuses on advanced battery materials. Products serve diverse applications including anti-corrosion coatings, tire/rubber manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, glass/ceramics, agriculture, and energy storage.

Products and services

• Fine Zinc Powder (FZP) Fine zinc powder used as anti-corrosion pigment in industrial coatings, reducing agent and catalyst in chemical reactions. Produced via Atomization, Larvik and Muffle processes at 100,000 tons/year global capacity. Sold to industrial customers globally for paints, coatings, and chemical synthesis applications.
• Zinc Oxide (ZnO) High-purity zinc oxide produced via both direct/American and indirect/French processes with 75,000+ tons/year European capacity. Used as vulcanization accelerator in rubber, micronutrient in agriculture, UV protection in cosmetics, and fluxing agent in glass/ceramics. Available in multiple grades (Gold Seal, White Seal, Red Seal, Platinum Seal, Green Seal, EPM, W-78) with various purity levels and surface treatments.
• Zinc Battery Materials (ZBM) Alloyed zinc powders (bismuth, aluminum, magnesium alloyed) and zinc oxides for primary alkaline batteries, zinc-air cells, and rechargeable battery applications. Produced via centrifugal/spinning disk atomization and air atomization to tailor physical properties for energy and power, with low gassing for long life. EverZinc's ZBM is used in 25% of all alkaline batteries globally.
• Zano® Ultrafine Zinc Oxide Patented non-nano ultrafine zinc oxide powder with controlled narrow particle size distribution, ideal for sunscreens, cosmetics, skincare (broadband UVA/UVB protection), and polymer applications including plastics, rubber, and engineered polymers. Distributed through the EverCare business unit with multiple surface-treated variants for polymer system compatibility.
• EverCare (Zano® and Tenray® personal care and packaging product lines) EverCare is EverZinc's business unit distributing Zano® and developing ultrafine zinc oxide based products for skincare, cosmetics, and extended-shelf-life packaging. Includes sub-brands Zano®, Xperse®, Assure+® (personal care) and Tenray® (plastics, textiles, coatings, food packaging with broadband UVA/UVB protection and antimicrobial boosting).
• Rechargeable Zinc Materials (RZM) Dedicated business unit developing and supplying advanced zinc materials for rechargeable batteries including Ni-Zn, zinc-manganese, zinc-air, and zinc-ion chemistries. Supports energy storage systems (ESS), e-mobility, and consumer electronics applications. Coordinates the R-Zinc conference series for community building around rechargeable zinc battery development.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, minor and strategic.

• LOLABAT Consortium (Sunergy-led, Horizon 2020)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 22 September 2020LOLABAT is a European research project awarded €7M+ by the European Commission under Horizon 2020 to develop next-generation Ni-Zn batteries for stationary energy storage. EverZinc is one of 17 partners including 7 R&D institutions (SuperGrid Institute, CEA, Stockholm University, Helmholtz Institute, Cergy University, ZSW, Genova University), 6 SMEs (Bcare, AITEC, Accurec, Optima, InExtenso, Sunergy), and 4 large companies (EDP, RINA, KME, EverZinc). Advisory board includes General Electric, ENGIE, Orange, Naval Group, and Chaowei Power.
• Love the Oceans and University of LeedsminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 July 2020EverCare (EverZinc's business unit for Zano®) developed the Positive Reef Initiative in partnership with Love the Oceans and the University of Leeds, aiming to create reef-friendly sun care products while contributing to coral reef restoration and damage prevention.
• Umicore Marketing Services Australia (former distributor)minorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 28 January 2020Umicore Marketing Services Australia (UMSA) previously served as EverZinc's distributor in Australia. EverZinc terminated the distribution agreement effective January 28, 2020 and established its own EverZinc Australia sales office in Melbourne to directly serve Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific region customers.
• XponentialWorksstrategicStrategic or Co-development Partner · 29 October 2018XponentialWorks, an innovation advisory and venture collider with exponential technology expertise, collaborated with EverZinc to form EverZinc Digital — a dedicated innovation and transformation unit. The partnership leveraged XponentialWorks' product development methodology, domain experts, digital labs, and ecosystem of early-stage portfolio companies to accelerate sustainable zinc-based product development.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Zochem: Canadian producer of zinc oxide serving rubber, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical applications across North America. Direct competitor in the French and American process zinc oxide segments EverZinc competes in.
• Zinc Nacional: Mexican integrated zinc producer and one of the world's largest zinc oxide manufacturers. Directly comparable as a global zinc oxide supplier with similar end-market exposure in tires, ceramics, paints, and chemicals.
• Umicore: Belgian-headquartered materials technology group with a long-standing specialty zinc chemicals and battery materials business. Directly comparable to EverZinc in zinc oxide, fine zinc powders, and rechargeable battery materials, and historically supplied EverZinc's distribution network before EverZinc went direct.
• Mario Pilato: Italian zinc oxide producer serving rubber, ceramics, paints, and pharmaceutical customers across Europe. Direct regional competitor in European specialty zinc oxide with overlapping grade portfolios.
• Grillo-Werke AG: German family-owned producer of zinc oxide and zinc sulfate for rubber, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Direct competitor in the European zinc oxide market with overlapping GMP pharma and rubber vulcanization grades.
• SNCZ (Société Nouvelle des Couleurs Zinciques): French zinc oxide manufacturer producing both French and American process grades for rubber, paints, ceramics, and pharmaceutical end markets. Direct European competitor with similar grade specialization and customer overlap.

Regional players

• Pan-Continental Chemical: Chinese zinc oxide producer supplying commodity and specialty grades primarily to Asian rubber, ceramic, and coatings customers. Comparable in product mix but competes primarily on cost rather than the GMP/pharma and battery-grade specialization EverZinc focuses on.
• Hakusui Tech: Japanese specialty chemicals producer with a focus on zinc oxide and zinc-related materials for rubber, electronics, and ceramics. Comparable product portfolio but primarily serves Japanese and Asian markets rather than competing directly in EverZinc's European and North American strongholds.

Others

• Kraton (now part of DL Chemical): Specialty polymer and chemical producer including zinc-based chemistries used as catalysts and additives in tire and rubber applications. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — a key downstream customer ecosystem for zinc oxide rather than a zinc chemicals peer.

Broad incumbents

• BASF: Global chemical major producing zinc oxide and other zinc-based catalysts/additives as part of a much broader chemicals portfolio. Comparable at the product level (especially in catalysts and pigments) but does not specialize in zinc materials the way EverZinc does.
