Quick Takeaways
- Altris and Draslovka sodium-ion cathode partnership marks a major step in Europe’s sodium-ion battery value chain development.
- The collaboration focuses on industrial-scale cathode active material production for next-generation sodium-ion batteries.
On January 15, Altris and Draslovka announced a strategic partnership to establish Europe’s first industrial-scale sodium-ion cathode value chain. The collaboration is designed to support the large-scale commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology across the region.
Under the agreement, the two companies will scale fully integrated production of Altris’ patented sodium-ion cathode active material at Draslovka’s facility in Kolín. The site is expected to supply up to 350 tonnes of cathode active material annually, strengthening Europe’s domestic capabilities in advanced battery materials.
Investment and production roadmap under the Altris and Draslovka sodium-ion cathode partnership
As part of the Altris and Draslovka sodium-ion cathode partnership, Draslovka will make a new in-kind investment of EUR 19.3 million in Altris. This funding will co-finance the conversion of the existing production line at the Kolín facility to enable industrial-scale sodium-ion CAM manufacturing.
The partners have outlined a clear timeline for the project:
By combining Altris’ cathode innovation with Draslovka’s industrial manufacturing expertise, the partnership aims to accelerate the deployment of sodium-ion batteries while reinforcing Europe’s position in next-generation energy storage materials.
