De Nora opens new electrode production line

As a result of the expansion, the site's total production capacity has tripled. It will be committed to completing the timely production of projects already in the portfolio and to responding positively to the growing demand for electrodes in the Asian market, as well as to react quickly to the request for dedicated technologies for green hydrogen generation.

Through this expansion, De Nora aspires to strengthen its position in maintenance services for Chinese chlor-alkali plants, which now account for 45% of the global market, and in electrodes for the production of copper foil used in both the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, the demand for which is constantly growing, and as a raw material for printed circuit boards.

Paolo Dellachà, CEO of De Nora, commented: "We are pleased to announce the expansion of the Chinese site in Suzhou, which guarantees us a considerable increase in the production capacity serving the entire Asian region. This new expansion is part of a broader strategy to consolidate De Nora's competitive advantage, covering both the Chinese market and other geographical areas, in line with the Group's industrial plan."
