Core offering

EcoPro BM Hungary Zrt. manufactures and sells cathode active materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, including high-nickel NCA (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium) and next-generation NCM (such as CSG/NCM 811) chemistries, as well as precursors and processed lithium compounds. Production is targeted at battery makers serving electric vehicles (EV), electric energy storage systems (ESS), uninterruptible power supply (UPS), smart grids, power tools, and aerospace, medical, and military applications.

Products and services

• NCA Series Cathode Active Materials High-nickel (Ni content over 80%) Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium cathode active materials positioned as Korea's only Ni-RICH, high-end LIB cathode materials with the highest reversible capacity, offered with customized NCA modeling per customer requirements for use in EV, ESS, power tool, and specialty lithium-ion batteries.
• CSG (Advanced NCM 811) Cathode Active Materials Next-generation Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM 811) cathode material using concentration gradient technology to deliver high capacity, long lifespan, and high volume production with safety, intended for EV and other high-energy lithium-ion battery applications.
• Battery Material Precursors Precursor cathode materials produced via batch production from Korea's only combined precursor and cathode material batch production line, serving as the key input determining the performance, price, and quality of finished cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
• Lithium Compounds Manufactured and processed lithium compounds including lithium carbonate (with moisture content less than 100 ppm and average particle diameter of about 2.5 mm) and lithium hydroxide fine powder (average 20 µm diameter, not more than 100 ppb magnetic material), used as input materials for cathode active material production.

Quantifiable outcome

• First in the world commercialization of high-nickel cathode material (>80% Ni) for EV battery
• +1 more outcomes

Direct peers

• Ronbay Technology: Chinese high-nickel CAM specialist producing NCM811 and ultra-high-nickel cathodes for global EV OEMs including Korean and European customers. Direct competitor in high-nickel CAM chemistry with cost advantages from China-based production.
• Sumitomo Metal Mining: Japanese integrated non-ferrous metal refiner producing nickel-based CAM (NCA, NCM) for EV batteries with strong supply relationship with Panasonic/Tesla. Direct competitor in high-nickel CAM with comparable technology focus and quality standards.
• Umicore: Belgian-headquartered materials technology company producing CAM (NCM and high-manganese) for EV batteries, with a major CAM plant under construction in Nysa, Poland. Direct competitor in the European CAM market with comparable target customers and technology focus.
• POSCO Future M: South Korean cathode active materials manufacturer producing NCM and NCA precursors and CAM for EV batteries. Direct competitor to EcoPro BM with overlapping high-nickel technology focus and similar customer base including Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution.

Broad incumbents

• Mitsubishi Chemical Group: Japanese chemical conglomerate producing CAM and electrolyte materials for lithium-ion batteries. Broad incumbent in battery materials space with CAM capabilities overlapping EcoPro BM's product portfolio.
• LG Chem: South Korean integrated chemicals and battery materials company producing NCM cathodes as part of a broader portfolio including batteries, petrochemicals, and advanced materials. Major Korean peer with overlapping high-nickel CAM capabilities and shared customer relationships.
• BASF: German chemical giant operating BASF Battery Materials with CAM production in Schwarzheide, Germany, and precursors in Harjavalta, Finland. Broader incumbent in European CAM market with wider chemicals portfolio but directly competes with EcoPro BM Hungary.

Others

• Targray: Canadian battery materials distributor and supplier of CAM, anode materials, and electrolytes. While not a manufacturer, competes in the European CAM supply market and serves overlapping customers in the EV battery ecosystem.

Emerging players

• GEM Co. Chinese battery materials recycler and CAM precursor producer with strong nickel and cobalt sourcing capabilities. Competitor in the upstream-to-CAM value chain that EcoPro BM Hungary is targeting.
• Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt: Chinese integrated cobalt and nickel materials producer expanding into CAM and precursor manufacturing. Competes with EcoPro BM in upstream nickel/cobalt processing and increasingly in CAM for global customers.
