ECOPRO, a battery-based company, announced on the 10th (local time) that it had held a shipping ceremony for high nickel NCA (nickel, cobalt, aluminum) products for electric vehicles supplied to Europe at its plant in Debrecen, Hungary, on the 8th (local time). The event was attended by Choi Moon-ho, CEO of Ecoprovim, Ha Joo-yong, president of Ecoprovim Hungary, and executives and employees of Ecoprovim Hungary.

The 440,000㎡ plant houses EcoProBM, which produces cathode materials, EcoPronovation, which is in charge of lithium processing, and EcoProAP, which produces industrial oxygen and nitrogen.

Three cathode material production lines at the Debrecen plant produce a total of 54,000 tons per year. This is large enough to supply about 600,000 electric vehicles. EcoPro Innovation-dong supplies 8,000 tons of lithium hydroxide per year, and EcoPro AP-dong supplies 16,000㎥ of oxygen per hour. Ecopro plans to consider the construction of the second plant in consideration of the order situation comprehensively.
