Volta Energy Solutions Advances in North American EV Sector with Innovative Copper Foil Plant

January 31, 2024

Volta Energy Solutions (VES), a pioneer in battery copper foil technology, is making a significant leap into the North American electric vehicle (EV) market with the construction of a new plant in Quebec, Canada. This expansion aims to address the increasing demand for battery copper foil, vital in the EV supply chain.

Founded in 1960, VES's roots lie in Circuit Foil Luxembourg (CFL), a renowned developer of electrodeposited copper foil. CFL's technological advancements, including the world's first copper foil for batteries, have set the company apart in the high-tech industries.

The EV market's rapid growth, especially in North America, has created a surge in demand for battery materials. VES's foray into this market is timely, as it plans to start operations in 2025 with a 25,000-ton annual production capacity. This move is not just about meeting market demand; it's also about contributing to a more robust, localized battery supply chain, crucial for the burgeoning EV sector.

CFL's expertise in producing ultra-thin copper foil, a critical component for high-efficiency batteries, underscores the technological prowess of VES. This technology, combined with VES's commitment to innovation and sustainability, positions the company as a key supplier for global automakers and battery cell manufacturers in the rapidly evolving EV landscape.

As the demand for EVs and corresponding battery components skyrockets, VES's new plant in Canada signifies a strategic step towards securing a stable supply chain in North America. This expansion not only enhances the company's global footprint but also strengthens its role in supporting the shift towards sustainable transportation.
