EV Manufacturing Opportunities
Ontario is poised to lead the future of electric vehicle production.
With the world’s largest automakers pledging to ethically source batteries and build EV’s in Ontario, it makes sense for battery manufacturers to locate in regions like Lennox and Addington County. We are in close proximity to raw materials and other supply chain inputs and offer clean, sustainable and renewable energy.
It is for this reason that Umicore has chosen Loyalist Township as the place it will build a first-of-its-kind battery materials production plant. We have competitively priced land, access to critical talent, world-class universities and colleges and proximity to five major automakers.
This is just the beginning for Lennox and Addington, join Umicore and become a part of Ontario’s EV economy.
