Orbia Advance Corporation has expanded its Wisconsin electrolyte plant's capacity by 300%, completing the final phase on December 16, 2025. This expansion, supported by an $8.4 million contract from the US Department of Defense, enhances the production of tailored battery electrolytes for various chemistries, aiming to bolster the national lithium-ion battery supply chain and reduce reliance on overseas suppliers. The facility supports multiple industries, including energy storage and electric vehicles, following Orbia's acquisition of electrolyte technology startup Silatronix.
