Arcadium Lithium is a global leader in lithium chemicals production, formed in January 2024 through the merger of Allkem and Livent. Headquartered in Shannon, Ireland, the company operates with a mission to responsibly harness the power of lithium to drive the transition to a clean energy future. As a vertically integrated producer, Arcadium Lithium combines hard-rock mining, brine extraction, and advanced lithium chemicals manufacturing to ensure a resilient and efficient supply chain.
The company serves a wide range of industries, including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, energy storage, and specialty applications like pharmaceuticals and polymers. With a strong focus on sustainability, Arcadium Lithium integrates environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility into its operations. Its global presence spans key markets in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, enabling it to meet the growing demand for lithium products worldwide.
Battery Technology
Arcadium Lithium plays a critical role in advancing battery technologies, particularly in the production of lithium-ion batteries. The company supplies essential lithium compounds such as battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate, which are foundational materials for high-performance batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.
One of the company’s standout innovations is its proprietary LIOVIX® technology, which enables the safe and controlled deposition of lithium onto substrates. This technology supports next-generation battery production, including pre-lithiation and lithium metal anodes, which are key to improving battery energy density and performance. Additionally, Arcadium Lithium has expanded its capabilities in lithium metal production through strategic acquisitions, enhancing its ability to develop safer, lower-cost, and more sustainable lithium metal solutions.
Arcadium Lithium’s vertically integrated operations allow it to control the entire production process, from raw material extraction to the manufacturing of finished lithium compounds. This integration ensures a reliable supply chain and positions the company as a trusted partner in the global battery value chain.
Recent Projects
In recent years, Arcadium Lithium has made significant strides in expanding its operations and advancing its technology. The company announced plans to more than double its lithium production capacity by the end of 2028, aiming to meet the surging demand for lithium-ion batteries. It also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Toyota Tsusho to optimize its global integrated operating network, enabling greater flexibility in producing battery-grade lithium carbonate.
Additionally, Arcadium Lithium received regulatory clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for its acquisition by Rio Tinto, a transaction expected to close in 2025. This acquisition will further strengthen the company’s position in the lithium market and support its growth strategy.
