Domestic Supply Lead NanoGraf is building a United States based silicon anode supply chain through a strategic integration with M2Graphite, creating domestic capacity for Onyx at commercial scale. This reduces reliance on imports from China and mitigates vulnerabilities for critical infrastructure such as AI data centers and defense systems, positioning NanoGraf as a preferred supplier for customers prioritizing domestic manufacturing and supply security.
Defense and Gov Onyx silicon anode is already used by the U.S. military and is drop-in ready for any lithium-ion battery across consumer, industrial, and defense applications. This enables targeting defense contractors, government procurement programs, and large battery OEMs seeking easy integration, improved safety, and performance gains for mission-critical platforms including drones, logistics, and infrastructure resilience.
EV and Storage Onyx delivers a meaningful energy density improvement over graphite, enabling longer range for electric vehicles and higher capacity for grid storage. This creates sales opportunities with EV manufacturers, battery cell makers, and energy storage developers seeking performance advantages and faster time to market.
Manufacturing Scale Manufacturing scale expansion across Michigan, Flint, and Chicago demonstrates growing capacity for silicon anode materials, allowing you to offer capacity-backed supply agreements to large Li-ion battery makers, contract manufacturers, and OEMs facing capacity constraints or geographic sourcing limitations. The upcoming Michigan plant and Flint facility signals readiness to supply high-volume customers.
Strategic Partnerships Strong product development and strategic partnerships underpin growth. The West Town R&D facility and Onyx launch, coupled with the strategic partnership with M2Graphite, provide opportunities for joint development programs, qualification testing, and pilot deployments with customers looking to shorten time to market and tailor materials to specific chemistries or form factors.
