EcoPro Showcases Next-Generation Materials Technology at International Battery Expo in Pohang
Invested KRW 3.3 trillion in Pohang... Highlights achievements in building a secondary battery materials ecosystem
Unveils battery materials portfolio spanning high-nickel, LFP, and sodium-ion materials
EcoPro showcased the secondary battery materials ecosystem it has built in the region and its next-generation battery materials technology at the 2026 International Battery Expo in Pohang.
EcoPro announced on November 15 that it had participated in the 2026 International Battery Expo in Pohang, held from November 13 to 15 at Manindang Gymnasium in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. Now in its second year, the event is an expo presenting technologies and future visions from across the industry, from battery materials and components to battery recycling.
EcoPro organized its exhibition around its partnership with the Pohang region, global supply chains, high-nickel cathode materials, and next-generation materials technologies.
Since 2017, EcoPro has invested approximately KRW 3.3 trillion in Pohang to build a secondary battery materials ecosystem linking precursor production, cathode materials, and battery recycling. It is strengthening its supply chain competitiveness through a "Closed Loop" system spanning raw material procurement, production, and recycling.
EcoPro also showcased its overseas production bases. It presented a global supply chain connecting the BNSI nickel smelter in Indonesia, a cathode materials plant in Debrecen, Hungary, and its domestic production facilities.
In the next-generation materials field, EcoPro presented high-nickel ternary cathode materials, as well as mid-nickel cathode materials, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials, and materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). It also introduced solid electrolyte technology, a key material for all-solid-state batteries, outlining its strategy to expand its product portfolio.
EcoPro also highlighted its contributions to the local community. It has continued its social contribution activities, including providing Mother Boxes to families welcoming a new baby who are facing economic hardship, distributing traffic safety umbrellas to children, and creating Happy Villages. In recognition of these efforts, it has been named a "Company Recognized for Community Contributions" for seven consecutive years.
