EcoPro Materials is the first company in Korea to mass-produce high-capacity, nickel-rich cathode material precursors and currently holds the largest production capacity for these materials in the country. Since 2021, the company has expanded its operations to include the refining and production of nickel and cobalt, the key raw materials for precursors. This expansion has strengthened its position as a specialized manufacturer of secondary battery materials. The precursor products developed, produced, and supplied by EcoPro Materials are essential components for secondary batteries and are widely used in electric vehicles, power tools, and energy storage systems.

EcoProBM was the first company to develop and successfully mass-produce high-nickel cathode materials, leading both the domestic and global markets for high-capacity cathode materials and establishing world-class competitiveness. With the growing demand for lithium-ion secondary batteries across electric vehicles, energy storage systems, uninterruptible power supplies, smart grids, aerospace applications, and medical devices, EcoProBM is strengthening South Korea’s competitiveness in the secondary battery industry. The company is actively building a related industrial ecosystem and evolving into a core materials provider for next-generation batteries.

EcoProEM, a joint venture between EcoProBM and Samsung SDI, is establishing a mass production system for high-nickel cathode materials. Leveraging the future growth potential of lithium-ion secondary batteries used in electric vehicles and power tools, the company is evolving into a core materials provider that will help position South Korea as a global leader in next-generation battery technology.
