The Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) (@ nitter.cf/PAIH_pl) just named our Project Apex 2 its Manufacturing Investment of the Year, less than a year after Poland gave us a $320 million USD grant to refine cathode materials from recycled batteries in Europe rather than importing them!

Global automakers are racing to secure rare earths and battery materials before China’s new export restrictions take effect— a clear sign of how fragile the EV supply chain has become. At Ascend Elements, we’re working to strengthen that supply chain with sustainable, U.S.-based production of critical battery materials.

China’s move to restrict rare earth and battery material exports highlights the need for resilient, sustainable supply chains, especially in advanced manufacturing and clean tech. At Ascend Elements, we’re building North American and European capacity to supply critical minerals domestically, cutting carbon emissions by up to 90%. Our team is committed to supporting OEMs and manufacturers who demand reliability, quality, and sustainability #SupplyChainSecurity #RareEarths #CircularEconomy #BatteryMaterials #CleanTech #Manufacturing #Innovation #Sustainability #AscendElements
