Operations Update: Panasonic Energy Offtake

 

Chattanooga, TN (USA), 16 January 2026 - NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or the “Company”), a leading battery materials and technology company, today announced an update to the expected timing for commencement of mass production of anode material for its lead battery material customer, Panasonic Energy (“Panasonic”).

 

The Company previously indicated an expectation to begin mass production of battery-grade synthetic graphite for Panasonic and industrial-grade synthetic graphite for other customers in 2026. The Company still expects to begin mass production of industrial-grade graphite this year. Mass production of anode material for Panasonic is now expected to begin in the second half of 2027. Qualification of anode materials is a rigorous process, and timelines can vary depending on customer-specific material requirements and qualification protocols.

 

“The team at NOVONIX is pioneering new process technology and Panasonic is an exceptional development partner with whom we continue to work closely as we progress toward our shared objective of establishing the synthetic graphite supply chain in North America,” says Mike O’Kronley, CEO of NOVONIX.
