BASF battery materials extends supply agreement for Schwarzheide CAM plant

BASF’s Schwarzheide facility is the only production site in Germany for high-performance cathode active materials

BASF Battery Materials has renewed its long-term cathode active materials (CAM) supply agreement with a key third-party customer, securing continued supply from its state-of-the-art CAM production facility in Schwarzheide, Germany.

This renewal comes alongside BASF’s recently announced global framework agreement with CATL, reinforcing BASF’s leadership in high-performance battery materials.

“We are pleased to extend our supply agreement for the Schwarzheide CAM plant, reflecting our customers’ confidence in our innovative products and high-quality production processes,” said Dr. Daniel Schönfelder, President of BASF’s Battery Materials division. “With this strengthened customer setup, our European CAM operations are well positioned to meet growing demand and future market needs.”

BASF’s Schwarzheide facility is the only production site in Germany for high-performance cathode active materials and the only fully automated large-scale CAM production facility in Europe. The plant combines advanced production technology with strict quality standards to support the growing electrification of mobility and the energy storage sector.
