What JordProxa does

JordProxa is an Australian technology specialist, headquartered in Perth, that develops and supplies Adsorption-type Direct Lithium Extraction (ADLE) technology and processing equipment for the production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate from brine solutions. The company's core technology uses adsorption media to selectively remove lithium ions, positioning it to support domestic, sustainable lithium value chains for electric vehicle and energy storage markets. Its primary product is the ADLE process, which it delivers as part of comprehensive equipment and technology supply packages to lithium extraction and processing facilities.

JordProxa operates as an enterprise technology provider, engaging in long-cycle, multi-year equipment and technology supply agreements with major lithium developers. Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales tied to specialized extraction and processing equipment, and technology licensing or process supply for proprietary ADLE systems. Pricing is negotiated project by project and is not publicly disclosed; contracts typically include financing conditions and are structured to align with project milestones. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting established players in the lithium and EV supply chain.

The company's flagship engagement is a comprehensive equipment and technology supply contract with Vulcan Energy for Phase One of the Lionheart Project in Germany. The project encompasses two facilities: a Lithium Extraction Plant in Landau and a Central Lithium Plant in Frankfurt, with a combined planned production capacity of 24,000 tonnes per year of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate, sufficient for roughly 500,000 electric vehicles annually. The contract is structured as a condition precedent to financing, with project completion targeted for Q4 2025, and represents JordProxa's primary entry point into the European market and its most significant commercial milestone to date. The company remains privately held with a small team and has not disclosed funding rounds or ownership structure.
