Vianode, a leading advanced battery materials company, and US-based battery component supplier Ateios Systems have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to supply high-performance synthetic anode graphite for Ateios’ cutting-edge electrode platform.
Under the agreement, Vianode will deliver phased shipments of synthetic anode graphite to support Ateios’ electrode production, complementing its high-performance, PFA-free cathodes of LCO, NMC, and LFP—materials that account for 95% of the critical components powering consumer electronics, robotics, drones, mobility, and grid storage.
Initial supplies will come from Vianode’s Via ONE facility in Norway, the world’s most sustainable graphite plant, before transitioning to Via TWO in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, as additional capacity becomes available.
“Demand for batteries and materials is growing rapidly across multiple markets beyond electric vehicles, driven by increased adoption in mobility, robotics, drones, and grid storage applications where performance, reliability, and tailored form factors are required,” said Stefan Bergold, CCO of Vianode.
“As the demand for high-performance batteries grows, the industry needs manufacturing methods that are scalable, cost-effective, and responsible,” added Glen Kozeli, Director Sales & Business Development Americas at Vianode.
“Ateios is pioneering technologies that move in that direction, and we’re pleased to work together toward solutions that can strengthen the supply chain. With Vianode’s sustainably produced, high-consistency anode materials, this collaboration supports scaling reliably while reducing the overall environmental footprint.”
Ateios’ RaiCore electrode technology, recognized at the US Battery Show in October 2025, enables high-speed manufacturing with strong performance, higher energy density, and lower cost. The world’s only third-party verified, forever chemical-free electrode, RaiCore was developed at Oak Ridge National Lab, scaled at Eastman Kodak, and benchmarked at the Battery Innovation Center.
“With our company already shipping industry-leading cathode electrodes to leading battery makers across the globe, this collaboration will allow us to offer a great graphite anode electrode to pair with it.
"So many makers have confidence in Vianode’s materials; this collaboration will help expedite the adoption of our cathodes, and allow us to offer the best Wh/kg without any R&D. Customers can just start building, and they get an opportunity to scale to GWh with our tolling partner without having to make costly investments,” said Rajan Kumar, CEO of Ateios Systems.
