INOXECOM Appoints Jeong Cheolgeun as New CEO to Strengthen Si Anode Competitiveness

INOXECOM, a key player in secondary battery materials, has appointed Jeong Cheolgeun as the new CEO to strengthen its competitiveness in the next-generation silicon (Si) anode materials business. With CEO Jeong, who brings extensive experience and a global network in battery materials, the company plans to upgrade its product portfolio and enhance its responsiveness to major battery cell and automotive customers.

INOXECOM announced on October 1 that it officially appointed Jeong Cheolgeun as its new CEO at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and a board meeting held the same day.

CEO Jeong previously served as the head of the Battery Materials division at LG Chem, where he oversaw the cathode materials business. He later led the Korean branch of Arcadium Lithium, a global lithium company, and has also worked as Director of Strategic Planning at INOX Holdings, establishing himself as a business strategy expert in battery materials.

INOXECOM explained that CEO Jeong is the right person to strengthen the company’s competitiveness in Si anode materials, leveraging his hands-on experience and industry network in core battery materials. The company plans to boost its technological edge and expand collaboration with global customers, focusing on its silicon anode product lineup, including Si powder, SiO, and SiP.

Silicon anode materials are regarded as next-generation battery materials with higher energy density than conventional graphite-based anodes. They draw attention as one of the core materials in the next-generation electric vehicle and battery markets, as they increase battery capacity while reducing charging time.

INOXECOM intends to leverage the company’s accumulated technological capabilities and networks across the entire battery materials value chain following the appointment of the new CEO. Through this, the company aims to further advance its Si anode product competitiveness, strengthen responsiveness to major battery cell and automotive customers, and accelerate business expansion.

CEO Jeong Cheolgeun stated, “I will actively leverage my hands-on industry experience and networks built in the global battery materials market to take INOXECOM’s Si anode business competitiveness to the next level.” He added, “I will focus on enhancing corporate and shareholder value through stable business management and the achievement of tangible results.”
