Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology, a major Chinese supplier of electrolytes and electrolyte chemicals for lithium batteries, has announced plans to establish two overseas plants in Morocco and the United States.
The move aims to meet the growing demand for battery components and capitalize on localized supply advantages while exploring new markets, reported Yicai media.
Tinci’s unit in Singapore has committed up to USD 280 million to establish a project company in Morocco.
According to the same media, the decision to invest in Morocco was motivated by the country’s abundant phosphorite ore resources and strategic geographical location, which provides the company with an opportunity to serve better and explore the European market.
Tinci’s first venture will be the construction of a lithium battery electrolyte factory in Texas, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons, said Yicai media. The company is currently in the pre-preparation stage, conducting a feasibility study and environmental impact assessment for the facility.
The Texas plant will adhere to the restrictions of the US Inflation Reduction Act, ensuring compliance with regulations and positioning the company for strategic advantages in North America.
By establishing localized production capabilities, Tinci aims to enhance supply efficiency, ensure timely deliveries, and maintain a high level of product quality for its overseas clients. While no specific timetable has been provided, the construction is expected to be completed within 30 months.
The project will focus on the production and sale of lithium-ion battery materials.
Tinci’s expansion comes as the demand for lithium battery materials continues to surge. In its latest annual report, the company revealed that its business revenue more than doubled last year, primarily driven by the high demand for lithium battery materials.
Revenue from the lithium battery material business accounted for 93% of the total revenue, highlighting the company’s significant presence in the sector.
Tinci’s net profit also grew substantially, soaring nearly 160% to approximately $USD 789.7 million.
Tinci Materials Technology has achieved a significant milestone with the opening of operations abroad in the two countries, expanding its worldwide reach and solidifying its position as a top supplier in the lithium battery sector.
The Chinese company intends to improve its supply chain capabilities, tap into new markets, and strengthen its position as a vital player in the changing landscape of sustainable energy technology with the construction of the Texas factory and the launch of operations in Morocco.
