About the Company

Group14

Manufactures silicon-anode materials for Li-ion

Group14 Technologies manufactures and supplies SCC55, a silicon-carbon composite anode material that can replace graphite in lithium-ion batteries. It increases energy density by up to 50%, enables faster charging, and extends cycle life beyond 1,500 cycles across formats including LFP, LMFP, and high-nickel chemistries. The product is sold B2B to battery makers and OEMs, supported by a global BAM factory network (BAM-1 Woodinville, BAM-2 Moses Lake, BAM-3 Sangju) and partnerships with Porsche, SK Inc., ATL, BASF, and others. The goal is to scale manufacturing and build resilient, regional silicon-anode supply for a large share of the world's Li-ion battery production.
