Dongwha Electrolyte Co., an affiliate of South Korea’s Dongwha Enterprise Co., has completed the construction of a new electrolyte production facility in Tennessee, the United States.
This is the company’s first manufacturing base in North America, covering both the United States and Canada.
Dongwha Electrolyte announced on Wednesday the completion of its electrolyte production plant in Clarksville, Tennessee, with an investment of $70 million. The facility is strategically located in the south-central region of Tennessee, where numerous automakers and battery companies operate, allowing the company to swiftly respond to industry demand.
The plant has an annual production capacity of 86,000 tons of electrolyte, which is sufficient to supply approximately 2 million electric vehicles.
With the Tennessee facility, Dongwha Electrolyte has completed its global production network across Asia, Europe, and North America.
The company currently operates manufacturing sites in Korea, China, Malaysia, and Hungary.
Once the Tennessee facility becomes fully operational, Dongwha Electrolyte’s total global production capacity is expected to increase to approximately 160,000 tons per year.
