About EV Metals Group plc
EV Metals Group plc (EVM) is a global battery materials and technology business committed to a clean energy future.
We are focused on the production of high purity chemicals and battery materials required in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Our business model is based on upstream, midstream and downstream integration of proprietary supply chains from in-situ critical raw materials to downstream production of high purity chemicals and cathode active materials (CAM).
Our 2022 acquisition of the Battery Materials Business of Johnson Matthey uniquely positions EVM to become a pre-eminent producer of battery materials vital to the transition to electrification.
We have secured long term and stable supplies of critical raw materials that will be used as feedstock for our world first integrated Battery Chemicals Complex being built in Yanbu Industrial City in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The Battery Chemicals Complex will produce high purity chemicals containing lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and other metals.
We will produce CAM for electric vehicle and battery cell manufacturers in Europe, North America and KSA seeking long term, transparent and geopolitically aligned supply chains. EVM has a highly knowledgeable executive and management team with over 180 years of combined experience in midstream and downstream processing of minerals, metals and chemicals for global markets and upstream integration through exploration and mining.
As part of our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices, EVM is working to embed the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact into our strategies and operations. We are committed to respecting human and labour rights, safeguarding the environment, and working against corruption in all its forms.
