Speciality chemicals major Cabot Corporation has secured a multi-year supply agreement with PowerCo SE, a leading European original equipment manufacturer in the electric vehicle battery market, strengthening Cabot’s foothold in the fast-growing battery materials sector.

 

Under the agreement, US-based Cabot will supply advanced conductive carbons and conductive dispersions for electric vehicle battery electrodes. The high-performance materials are designed to boost battery conductivity and efficiency, enabling higher energy density, faster charging and longer battery life — key requirements for next-generation electric vehicles.

 

“This agreement positions us as one of the leading conductive materials suppliers in the European EV battery market. Furthermore, it reflects the strength of our technology and our ability to scale production to meet growing global demand,” said Jeff Zhu, executive vice president and president, Carbon & Silica Technologies, Battery Materials and Asia Pacific Region. 

 

“We are proud to collaborate with one of Europe’s foremost EV battery manufacturers to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving demands of the electric vehicle market.”

 

The deal is expected to be a meaningful driver of Cabot’s growth in battery materials and further cements its role as a trusted supplier in the global EV value chain. It also underscores the company’s commitment to providing scalable, high-performance technologies that support the transition to clean energy.

 

The products covered by the agreement are part of Cabot’s broader portfolio of conductive additives and dispersions, which are engineered to optimize battery performance across electric vehicles, energy storage systems and consumer electronics.
