In 2018 we delivered on our strategy to become the undisputed leader in clean mobility materials and recycling, winning new business which will accelerate growth over the coming years, stepping up R&D efforts, and expanding production capacity to meet growing demand. 

All this was accomplished while achieving record results and reaching our original Horizon 2020 objectives two years ahead of schedule. Our unique ability to close the materials loop together with certified clean and ethical supply are at the heart of our approach to sustainability. 

Our ongoing growth investments, combined with a promising innovation pipeline, put us in an ideal position to address the need for cleaner mobility and the growing scarcity of materials while creating shareholder value in the short, medium and long term.
