What Vecco Group does
Vecco Group is an Australian critical minerals company focused on vanadium production for redox flow batteries. The company operates a vanadium electrolyte plant in Townsville, North Queensland, commissioned in mid-2023, which produces electrolyte solution for vanadium redox flow battery energy storage applications. Vecco is also constructing what is described as Australia's first integrated pit-to-product vanadium flow battery supply chain, combining upstream vanadium extraction with midstream electrolyte production and downstream flow battery integration.
The company was designated the foundation customer for the Queensland Resources Common User Facility (QRCUF) in Townsville, a publicly funded shared infrastructure initiative backed by the Queensland Government through a $46.1 million three-year budget allocation (2026-27) for critical minerals extraction, processing, and export. Through QRCUF, Vecco gains access to a 14-hectare project cargo laydown area at the Port of Townsville designed for oversized processing equipment, enabling validation of its vanadium production processes alongside other battery metals tenants (nickel-cobalt, graphite, quartz). The company is headquartered in Brisbane with operating presence in Townsville and a headcount of 11-50 employees.
Vecco generates revenue through hardware sales of vanadium electrolyte and related flow battery products, targeting government and public-sector institutions as well as critical minerals and battery materials customers via direct enterprise engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company's primary customer relationship is with the Queensland Government (Crisafulli Government), and its go-to-motion relies on government-supported infrastructure to lower the capital barriers of midstream validation and scale-up.

Products and services
- Vanadium Electrolyte Vanadium electrolyte solution used in vanadium redox flow batteries for energy storage applications. The electrolyte is produced at Vecco's Townsville plant and is part of Australia's critical minerals development infrastructure supporting the country's strategy to become a leading global supplier of battery materials and downstream processing capabilities for vanadium flow batteries.
- Vanadium Production Processes Vanadium extraction and production processes being validated at the Queensland Resources Common User Facility (QRCUF). These processes form the upstream input to Vecco's integrated supply chain, producing vanadium for downstream electrolyte manufacturing and battery applications.
- Pit-to-Product Vanadium Flow Battery Supply Chain Australia's first integrated supply chain spanning from vanadium extraction (pit) to vanadium flow battery production (product). It combines mining operations, electrolyte manufacturing, and battery system integration to deliver a fully domestic vanadium flow battery value chain.
Quantifiable outcome
- The QRCUF facility provides 14 hectares of project cargo laydown area designed to handle oversized processing equipment for battery metals operations across North Queensland
