Solus Advanced Materials: "Canadian Battery Copper Foil Plant to Begin Mass Production Next Year"

Preparations are progressing smoothly for the planned start of mass production next year at the battery copper foil plant Solus Advanced Materials is building in Granby, Quebec, Canada. The Canadian plant, being developed by Volta Energy Solutions Canada (VESC), a local subsidiary of Solus Advanced Materials, will be the only battery copper foil production facility in North America.

Solus Advanced Materials said on November 11 that major construction work is nearing completion and installation of production equipment is underway. The plant's first-phase production capacity will be 25,000 tons per year, with plans to increase output to as much as 63,000 tons depending on future demand in the North American market.

The North American battery copper foil market is expected to grow. Battery demand is increasing not only because of the electric vehicle market, but also as the energy storage system (ESS) market expands amid the growth of AI data centers and rising electricity demand.

Solus Advanced Materials plans to establish its Canadian plant as a key production hub in the North American battery supply chain. Its proximity to major battery production hubs in North America is expected to improve logistics efficiency while enabling the company to respond quickly to demand from local customers.

A Solus Advanced Materials representative said, "Construction of the Canadian plant is progressing smoothly according to plan, and we are focusing on preparations for mass production in 2027, supported by stable investment funding. By establishing a local production system in North America, we will strengthen our ability to serve customers and actively respond to growing demand in the electric vehicle and ESS markets."
