As we advance our DevCo opportunities and Design One Build Many growth strategy, Aleem’s corporate development expertise will strengthen our ability to convert these opportunities into agreements.”“Nano One is aiming to address the mid-stream gap in the battery supply chain with process technology that is scalable, cost-competitive and regionally deployable,”“Having worked on the demand side of battery materials, I have seen how much value a qualified, localized cathode supply solution represents. I look forward to helping advance Nano One’s commercial and strategic objectives.”Materials Corp. (Nano One) is a process technology company changing how cathode active materials (CAMs) are produced for lithium-ion batteries. Nano One’s platform is built on a portfolio of patented processes, decades of manufacturing know-how and modular plant designs that enable scalable, cost-competitive and easier-to-permit CAM production with resilient supply chains. The technology eliminates wastewater and byproducts while enabling regionally sourced raw materials and reducing exposure to foreign supply chain volatility. Modular plants are designed with fewer steps to reduce capex, energy and environmental intensity and to accelerate deployment, manufacturing and licensing. Product development and process optimization are based at Nano One’s Innovation Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia while piloting, demonstration and commercial production are based in Candiac, Québec, supported by a team with more than 15 years of commercial cathode manufacturing experience supplying global cell manufacturers. Strategic collaborations with global partners including Sumitomo Metal Mining, Rio Tinto and Worley support Nano One’s Design-One-Build-Many growth strategy. Nano One has received funding support from the Governments of Canada, the United States, Québec and British Columbia.For more information, please visit nanoOne.ca.Cautionary Notes and Forward-Looking StatementsCertain information contained herein may constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.
