ACT-ion to Establish Advanced Cathode Pilot Plant in Carrollton, Texas

ACT-ion Battery Technologies, Inc. (“ACT-ion”), an innovator in battery material manufacturing, announced it has signed a lease for a new facility at 1200 Tappan Circle in Carrollton, Texas. This site will house a state-of-the-art pilot plant dedicated to scaling its clean high-throughput manufacturing process for cathode active materials (CAM) used in next-generation batteries.

The new pilot plant marks a critical step in ACT-ion's mission to commercialize its technology, which is designed to significantly reduce the cost, environmental impact, and manufacturing time of essential battery components. By locating in Carrollton, a key city within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, ACT-ion positions itself within a robust industrial and technological ecosystem.

“This pilot plant is a pivotal moment for ACT-ion. It's where our vision for a cleaner and more economical battery future begins to take physical form,” said Jin Lim, CEO of ACT-ion. “We are developing a process that will revolutionize CAM production, a critical bottleneck in the battery supply chain. Choosing Carrollton was a strategic decision; the city’s proactive support for innovation and its prime location in a major logistics hub provide the ideal environment for us to scale our operations and attract top talent. We are excited to build our foundation here and contribute to the region's growing reputation as a center for clean energy technology.”

The establishment of the pilot plant is expected to create new high-tech jobs and strengthen the local supply chain for the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors. The City of Carrollton has welcomed ACT-ion as a valuable addition to its diverse and forward-thinking business community.

"We're excited to welcome ACT-ion to the City,” Carrollton Mayor Steve Babick said. “ACT-ion’s investment in advanced battery materials is not only a win for our local economy, but also a step toward strengthening the clean energy supply chain right here in our community. We look forward to seeing the impact their growth will have in furthering City Council’s vision of Carrollton as the place businesses and families want to call home.”

ACT-ion's innovative manufacturing process aims to address key challenges in the battery industry by eliminating byproducts and reducing energy consumption, water usage, and the overall physical footprint associated with traditional CAM production. The scale-up of this transformative technology has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), underscoring its potential impact on strengthening the domestic energy supply chain.
