Neomat CAM Plant Civil Engineering Contract Awarded to Eiffage-led Consortium

The consortium led by Eiffage has secured the contract for earthworks and building construction at the Neomat CAM plant in Dunkirk. This facility, a project between XTC New Energy and Orano, will manufacture cathode active materials for electric vehicle batteries. The plant represents a €500 million investment, reflecting the region's push toward industrialization and electric vehicle battery industry growth.

The construction covers almost 60,000 m², including a 45,000 m² workshop, with significant materials sourced from France and Europe. Up to 400 local workers will be engaged, with completion expected in 2028.

Neomat CAM CEO Michael Liu emphasized the focus on safety, execution quality, and local company involvement. The project's completion will strengthen the European value chain for electric vehicle batteries.
