Well positioned in the heart of Europe
Mass global adoption of electric vehicles is now a certainty and will drive greater demand for LiBs, for expansion of existing cell making capacity and for new cell manufacturing. It will also generate enormous demand for battery raw materials. If these materials are sourced from new mine production, they will carry a significant carbon footprint. If a portion of these materials are sustainably and ethically sourced from small carbon footprint battery recycling operations, the overall EV industry footprint will be reduced. In time, the proportion of recycled materials used in battery manufacturing should increase as the volume end of life batteries increases.
The Primobius team is based in two strategic locations in North Rhine-Westphalia: Hilchenbach near Siegen and Mönchengladbach near Düsseldorf. Situated in the heart of Europe, they are committed to assisting customers worldwide in effectively addressing their specific challenges in lithium-ion battery recycling.
Primobius research and development center
Primobius chose to operate a recycling plant in Hilchenbach, Germany, for research and development purposes. It is located at the SMS group Hilchenbach manufacturing facility which covers a total of 40,000 m2 and ranks among the most modern anywhere in the world.
