Prime Lithium AG was founded as a subsidiary of Deutsche Rohstoff AG in 2021.
As one of the first production companies for lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) in Germany, our aim is to close the gap between the raw materials industry and the European value chain in the field of electromobility. We specialize in the production of battery-grade lithium, which is the key component for the manufacturing of cathode materials in high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
Our interdisciplinary team of chemists and process engineers, stationed at the Prime Lithium Research and Development Center in Stade since July 2023, employs state-of-the-art equipment and complex simulation methods to address chemical and process engineering tasks. With our sustainable production of lithium hydroxide, we contribute our chemical expertise to enable further increases in the performance of batteries for electric vehicles.
Through our technologies and sustainable production methods, we aspire to provide significant momentum for the development and operation of a resilient and sustainable battery value chain in Germany. Our initiative not only lays the groundwork for new value chains but also safeguards employment during structural changes, ensuring the resilience of the automotive industry in Germany and Europe for the foreseeable future.
