Green Energy Origin (GEO) has confirmed the acquisition of electrolyte manufacturing assets from Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom.
As demand for electrolytes continues to surge amid the rapid growth of EVs and energy storage systems, GEO’s expanded production footprint is expected to reshape the competitive landscape in the field.
The agreement builds on the successful start‑up in 2024 of GEO’s 200,000‑ton‑per‑year electrolyte plant in the Czech Republic, adding immediate capacity and supply resilience across North America and Western Europe. It also strengthens joint R&D and patent collaboration aimed at supporting a low‑carbon future.
The Memphis, Tennessee, site will allow GEO to serve the US Midwest directly, accelerating its market entry by two to three years. Meanwhile, the Billingham facility – the UK’s only electrolyte plant – provides a critical foothold in Western Europe. From Billingham, GEO can deliver product to customers within four to six hours, securing regional supply chains.
“By acquiring MCC’s manufacturing facilities, GEO will further enhance their ability to deliver rapid and reliable supply across North America and Europe,” said Tony Ma, CEO of GEO. “Additionally, GEO will deepen its partnerships with strategic customers by developing regionally integrated supply chains for electrolyte raw materials and remain committed to delivering the best products and services to our customers while contributing to a low‑carbon future.”
