IBU-tec receives major order in the battery services segment

• Development of anode battery material at industrial scale for a major international corporation
• Order volume in the lower single-digit million euro range to be recognized as revenue in 2026
• Further strengthens Western battery value chains and reinforces IBU-tec’s position in the fast growing battery market

Weimar, 3 June 2026 – IBU-tec advanced materials AG (“IBU-tec”, ISIN: DE000A0XYHT5) has secured a significant order in the battery services segment. Under the agreement, IBU-tec will develop anode battery material for batteries for an international energy corporation. The order from the major corporation has a total volume in the lower single-digit million euro range and will be recognized as revenue in the current year. As part of the collaboration, IBU-tec will contribute its longstanding expertise in battery materials and in scaling production processes to industrial scale.

Within a multi-stage production process, IBU-tec will manufacture synthetic graphite for the customer and subsequently further develop it into anode material for batteries across a range of applications. The collaboration between the two parties aims at significantly reducing the dependence of Western cell manufacturers on markets such as China for battery materials, thereby further strengthening a Western battery value chain.

With this major order in anode technology, IBU-tec is positioning itself in another key segment of the battery market. Alongside the cathode, the anode is a core component of battery cells. In addition to building up large-scale LFP production at its Bitterfeld site, IBU-tec intends in the coming months to pursue further projects and partnerships with various international blue-chip customers in the anode segment, further consolidating and expanding its market position in this area.

Jörg Leinenbach, CEO of IBU-tec: “We are very pleased about this significant order for the development of anode material, which is equally important to us from both an economic and a strategic perspective. This once again highlights our outstanding expertise in the battery sector and our ability to produce both cathode and anode materials on a large scale. Our technical know-how in battery materials is highly sought after among global players in the industry.”
