NOVONIX Limited ( ASX: NVX ) (“NOVONIX” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce its plan for the next phase of growth for NOVONIX Anode Materials in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
NOVONIX is under contract to purchase, and plans to retrofit, the former Alstom building, which will be the company’s second facility in Chattanooga. The 400,000+-square-foot plant will accommodate a planned 8,000+-tonne per year production operation and will join the existing operations located at 353 Corporate Place where the company has been since 2019. This expansion plan will bring the Company’s total production capacity of anode materials to 10,000 tonnes per year and is expected to come online by 2023 and is underpinned by the funding received from the Company’s recent successful equity capital raise on the ASX earlier this calendar year.
