EV Battery Cathode Material Suppliers: 71 Cathode (CAM) and Precursor (pCAM) Facilities of 23 Companies (Partial List, Sources Linked)
71 EV battery cathode material facilities in 12 countries, reported by 23 companies (POSCO Future M, BASF, Beijing Easpring Material Technology, BTR New Material Group, CNGR Advanced Material, Fulin Precision (Jiangxi Shenghua), Guizhou Anda Energy Technology, Hubei Wanrun New Energy Technology, Hunan Yuneng New Energy Battery Material, Longpan (Lopal), LG Chem, Ltd., Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology, Shenzhen Dynanonic, XTC New Energy Materials, EcoPro BM, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, GEM, Nichia, Sumitomo Metal Mining, EcoPro EM, EcoPro Materials, L&F, Samsung SDI). 61 rows are cathode active material (NCM, high-nickel NCM, lithium nickelate, LFP, LMFP) plants or projects and 10 are precursor (ternary hydroxide precursor or iron phosphate) plants or projects. One row per facility: operator and owners, listing, chemistry, nameplate capacity with the unit as stated, status (operating, ramp-up, commissioning, under construction) with its as-of date, and the source URL with the exact wording relied on. Built from SEC filings, companies' own periodic reports on CNINFO, and the company websites, IR releases and sustainability reports of BASF, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Nichia, LG Chem, EcoPro (BM, EM, Materials), L&F and Samsung SDI, read on 2026-10-12. No single official list exists; this is not a complete list (excluded candidates and reasons are listed).

Where the source data is published
Everything here can be read free of charge: SEC filings on EDGAR (sec.gov), Chinese listed companies' half-year and annual reports on CNINFO (cninfo.com.cn), and the company web pages and PDFs cited (BASF, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Nichia, LG Chem, EcoPro (BM, EM, Materials), L&F and Samsung SDI). URLs are in every row. ReqoData's work is finding the facility-level statements across one SEC filing, 23 Chinese reports and 18 company web pages and PDFs, translating and normalising them, separating CAM from precursor, and keeping the exact wording beside each row.

Source data as of
CNINFO 2026 half-year reports (period ended 2026-06-30, published 2026-07-23 to 2026-08-29) and 2025 annual reports (published 2026-03-31 to 2026-04-29); POSCO Holdings 20-F for 2025; BASF factbook page (updated 2026-05-28) and news release (2025-09-02); Sumitomo Metal Mining and Nichia pages; LG Chem 2026 company profile PDF; EcoPro BM Q2 2026 earnings release (2026-07-31) and EcoPro group pages; L&F and Samsung SDI (2026 sustainability report) pages; all read on 2026-10-12
Last verified is the date we fetched the source data and confirmed it was the latest version the publishers had released.
What this list adds to the free source data
- Facility level, not company level: each plant, base or named project is a separate row with its own chemistry, capacity, status and as-of date, so new overseas capacity (Finland, Poland, France, Hungary, Morocco, Indonesia, Korea, Canada) can be told apart from domestic bases.
- CAM and precursor (pCAM) kept as separate categories in the material_category column, including iron phosphate for LFP.
- Capacity kept exactly in the unit and basis the source uses; where a source gives only a company or joint-venture total, the row says so instead of inventing a per-site figure. 29 of 71 rows carry a stated capacity (per site, per project or as a stated total).
- Status read from the cited primary text with its date, mostly the 2026 half-year reports (period to 30 Jun 2026). Examples: Easpring's 60,000 t/yr Kotka plant in equipment installation, Ronbay's 340,000 t/yr Guizhou LFP project planned to enter volume production from Aug 2026, Huayou's Hungary cathode plant in line commissioning, XTC's 40,000 t/yr France project in full construction, BTR's Changzhou high-nickel plant partly in production.
- Every row carries the exact source wording (evidence_quote) and the document version; a script re-checked every quote against the source text on 2026-10-12 and refuses to build if any quote is missing.
Limitations and what's not included
- Not a complete list of cathode material facilities. 71 facilities are included; 21 candidates or groups are excluded with the reason in excluded_candidates. Notable gaps: Umicore (website terms forbid copying and automated access; no usable joint-venture partner filing found); LG Chem's Gumi joint venture (LG-HY BCM) and EcoPro BM's Canadian project (status not stated in the sources used); Korea's DART filings (robots.txt disallows the documents; the API needs an account), so Korean plant capacities are mostly missing; Japanese EDINET filings (API needs a registered key) so Toda Kogyo, Tanaka Chemical and other Japanese filers were not reviewed; CATL/Brunp, Gotion, Minmetals New Energy (Changyuan Lico) plants, and private Chinese producers.
- Several big producers appear with only some of their plants: the cited reports name only those plants together with a product or status (for example Huayou's domestic precursor and cathode plants, CNGR's Tongren and Ningxiang bases, GEM's domestic bases and Hunan Yuneng's Hunan, Sichuan and Guangxi bases are not rows).
- Capacity is as stated by the company and in the stated unit and basis; many rows have no per-site capacity because the source gives only a group or joint-venture total (Dynanonic 450,000 t/yr, BASF Shanshan 100 kt/year, BASF TODA up to 60 kt/year, Ronbay over 300,000 t) or none. Where the only figure is the tonnage in a project's name, the row says so.
- Status is as of each source's date (mostly the half-year period ended 2026-06-30; POSCO's 20-F as of 2025-12-31; undated company web pages read on 2026-10-12). Rows marked 'operating' from a list of production bases, plants, factories or principal properties mean the source lists the site as an existing plant, not that it runs at full capacity; where available, company-level evidence of output (revenue, utilisation, mass production) is added to the row, and status_detail says when the evidence is only company-level (POSCO, Longpan, L&F, Samsung SDI's STM, EcoPro BM's Korean plants). Plants can be idled, restarted or finished after that date.
- Where a source names only 'cathode materials' or 'lithium-ion battery materials' for a site, the chemistry column says it is not stated; the site may also make consumer-battery (e.g. LCO) material.
- Chinese reports are quoted as extracted by pdftotext with whitespace removed; where a status comes from a table whose text is interleaved by extraction (BTR's Morocco project, Longpan's Indonesia Phase 2), the row says the status was read from the table. Facility names are ReqoData's English renderings.
- Websites and tickers are taken only from the SEC company record, the company's own report or its own website; listings are 'not stated in source used' where the pages used do not give them (Sumitomo Metal Mining, Nichia, LG Chem, EcoPro group, L&F, Samsung SDI).
- Organisation data only: no people's names or contact details. Delivered as CSV; no API.
