German materials producer IBU-tec advanced materials AG is deepening its footprint in the global battery industry after a successful showing at two of the sector’s most important trade fairs. The company presented its battery materials portfolio at the Battery Show in Detroit, USA, and the Battery Show in Greater Noida, India, in October, according to a release distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE.
In Detroit, IBU-tec exhibited at the German Pavilion and held what it described as promising discussions with potential customers. The company’s booth received a visit from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who emphasized the high relevance of a secure value chain for battery material production in North America. IBU-tec noted that its process know-how and technology platform position it strongly to meet regulatory requirements for battery material production in the United States.
In India, the company spent three days at the German Pavilion in Greater Noida, engaging in technical discussions with numerous visitors and presenting its product portfolio across both anode and cathode segments. The focus was on LFP battery material, a key component for electromobility and stationary energy storage. Beyond the trade show floor, IBU-tec held meetings aimed at expanding its raw material sources.
The dual trade show presence aligns with IBU-tec’s internationalization strategy and reinforces its role as a European supplier in the global battery ecosystem. The Battery Shows in the USA and India are leading events for the global battery industry, attracting international battery corporations, large OEMs and service providers. This year’s events drew more than 34,000 participants and featured global players such as Siemens, Stellantis and LG.
“Through our trips to India and the USA, we were able to deepen existing collaborations and initiate new partnerships. With this, we are taking our international activities to the next level and reinforcing our claim to be a global battery company,” said Ulrich Weitz, CPO of IBU-tec.
The move matters for the wider battery and automotive industries as demand for secure, diversified supply chains grows, particularly in North America and Asia. IBU-tec’s expansion could help address regional gaps in battery material production and offer OEMs alternative sourcing options. The company, which employs around 230 people, develops and produces materials for industry, including LFP battery material, air purification solutions and resource conservation technologies.
For readers and industry observers, IBU-tec’s trade show push signals intensifying competition and collaboration in the global battery materials market, where European suppliers are seeking to scale internationally. The full original release is available at www.newmediawire.com.
