Open pilot scale Potential customers include automakers and battery producers seeking scalable, graphite-free lithium metal solutions. Pure Lithium is expanding facilities in Chicago and building a pilot production line, signaling readiness to collaborate on pilot projects and joint development with partners that require rapid field testing.

China independence Position Pure Lithium as a strategic supplier of battery materials outside China, appealing to OEMs and battery manufacturers looking to diversify supply chains, reduce geopolitical risk, and secure domestic or regional production capabilities for lithium metal and LVO batteries.

Graphite-free pitch Emphasize the graphite-free, nickel-free, cobalt-free battery chemistry to target OEMs pursuing sustainable, high-performance cells. Customer conversations can focus on end-to-end sourcing, less reliance on Chinese supply chains, and the appeal of simplified materials for compliance and ESG goals.

Senior leadership Leverage recent executive appointment of Dr. Tobias Glossmann as Chief Product Officer to position leadership in product strategy and roadmaps. Propose executive briefings or joint roadmap sessions with potential partners to align on product-market fit and commercialization timelines.

Validation momentum Capitalize on recent testing pauses and resumed performance improvements as a narrative of resilience and ongoing R&D validation. Engage with potential customers for collaborative validation programs, risk-sharing pilots, and early-access programs tied to demonstrated capacity retention and cycle performance.
