Our Industries
Five Integrated Business Sectors
Huayou has established a comprehensive industrial ecosystem covering the entire value chain of new energy battery materials. From resource development to material manufacturing, from battery production to recycling, our five business sectors work in harmony to deliver sustainable, high-quality solutions for the global electric vehicle revolution.
New Material Industry
Our New Material Industry division represents the pinnacle of battery technology innovation. We manufacture high-performance ternary precursors (NCM/NCA), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), and advanced cathode materials that power everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles. With state-of-the-art facilities in Quzhou, Chengdu, and Tianjin, we produce over 150,000 tons of cathode materials annually. Our Chengdu B&M facility achieved a historic milestone in 2022 by becoming the world's first carbon-neutral cathode material plant, certified under PAS 2060 standards.
Key Capabilities:
- ✓Ternary Precursor (NCM 523, 622, 811, 9-series) production capacity: 100,000+ tons/year
- ✓Lithium Cobalt Oxide production: 50,000+ tons/year
- ✓Advanced NCA materials for high-energy applications
- ✓Customized cathode formulations for specific customer requirements
New Energy Industry
The New Energy Industry sector focuses on complete battery solutions, from cell manufacturing to integrated energy storage systems. We partner with leading automakers and energy companies to deliver cutting-edge battery packs and storage solutions. Our facilities leverage our vertically integrated supply chain to ensure quality, consistency, and competitive pricing. With growing demand for grid-scale energy storage and residential solutions, this division is positioned for exponential growth in the North American market.
Key Capabilities:
- ✓Lithium-ion battery cell production for automotive and stationary applications
- ✓Battery pack design and assembly for EVs and energy storage
- ✓Grid-scale energy storage systems (10MWh - 100MWh+)
- ✓Residential and commercial battery backup solutions
Indonesia Nickel Industry
Our Indonesia operations represent a strategic investment in securing high-grade nickel resources essential for next-generation EV batteries. Located in the resource-rich Sulawesi region, we operate High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) facilities that produce battery-grade nickel sulfate and mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP). In partnership with PT Vale Indonesia and Ford Motor Company, we are developing one of the most advanced and sustainable nickel processing facilities in the world, with 80% lower carbon emissions compared to traditional pyrometallurgical methods.
Key Capabilities:
- ✓HPAL nickel processing capacity: 120,000 tons NiMH/year
- ✓Battery-grade nickel sulfate production
- ✓Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) for further processing
- ✓Low-carbon hydrometallurgical processing technology
Africa Resource Industry
Since 2006, our Africa Resource Industry division has operated mining and processing facilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the world's richest sources of cobalt. Through our subsidiary Congo DongFang International Mining (CDM), we maintain a comprehensive supply chain from mine to refined product. We are committed to responsible sourcing, having joined the Fair Cobalt Alliance and implemented rigorous traceability systems. Our operations in Zimbabwe focus on lithium mining, providing another critical input for battery production.
Key Capabilities:
- ✓Cobalt mining and processing: 40,000+ tons/year
- ✓Copper production as co-product: 20,000+ tons/year
- ✓Lithium mining operations in Zimbabwe
- ✓Comprehensive supply chain traceability and responsible sourcing programs
Recycling Industry
Our Recycling Industry represents the future of sustainable battery production. Through advanced hydrometallurgical processes, we recover over 98% of valuable materials from end-of-life batteries, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. With processing capacity exceeding 65,000 tons of waste batteries annually, we are creating a true circular economy for battery materials. Our recycling operations in Quzhou and Nanjing convert battery waste back into battery-grade materials, dramatically reducing the need for virgin material extraction while minimizing environmental impact.
Key Capabilities:
- ✓Waste battery processing capacity: 65,000+ tons/year
- ✓Material recovery rate: >98% for key metals
- ✓Production of battery-grade materials from recycled content
- ✓Black mass processing and refining
Supporting North America's EV Revolution
