Beyond Asia: Building a U.S.-Based Nextgen Battery and Materials Supply Chain

The lithium-ion supply chain is under immense pressure, with over 90% of critical battery materials sourced or processed in Asia. This bottleneck poses a significant risk to domestic energy security and the future of domestic EV production and industry. XBM is committed to breaking that dependency by producing next-generation battery materials—including sustainable high-performance sulfur battery materials, right here in the US.

Our vertically integrated model not only aligns with the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives but also enables complete traceability and lower carbon footprints across our production lines. With strategic partnerships and scalable pilot production facilities underway, XBM is laying the foundation for a robust, sovereign supply chain that will serve the EV, aerospace, and grid storage industries for decades to come.
