Versa Materials Technology manufactures custom cathode materials in the U.S., using a modular, multi‑chemistry process and zero‑waste design to support EVs, defense drones, and consumer electronics while strengthening domestic battery supply chains.
Versa Materials Technology is a U.S.-based manufacturer of custom cathode materials headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded by Carson Rast. The company develops modular, multi-chemistry production systems and operates a pilot-scale manufacturing facility to support domestic battery supply chains. Versa’s mission is to reduce reliance on foreign cathode material suppliers by scaling flexible, zero-waste processes that accelerate lab-to-factory scale-up. Its products target applications from defense drones to electric vehicles and consumer electronics, with an emphasis on enabling North American battery manufacturers to access reliably sourced cathode materials.
Versa’s core technology is a modular ‘Versa-Plant’ manufacturing approach that supports rapid switching between cathode chemistries and scales from pilot to commercial volumes. Process features include configurable synthesis, drying, and coating-compatible particle engineering that produce high-performance cathode powders. The company emphasizes zero-waste process design to reduce solvent and effluent handling, which can streamline permitting and lower environmental risk. Differentiators include multi-chemistry flexibility, domestic production, and a lab-to-factory scale-up pathway informed by team experience in large-scale battery materials manufacturing. Versa partners with researchers and suppliers to validate performance and integrate process controls for consistent quality and safety.
Versa produces custom cathode materials and modular manufacturing services for battery makers, offering tailored chemistries and particle-engineered powders optimized for performance and lifecycle. Key features include multi-chemistry compatibility, zero-waste processing, and U.S.-based supply chain integration. Products serve defense, electric vehicle, and consumer electronics applications where consistent cathode quality, production agility, and domestic sourcing are priorities.
As of mid-2025, Versa Materials Technology has not publicly disclosed investors, completed funding rounds, or amounts.
