Li-Metal Corp. announced that its roll-to-roll anode pilot plant in Rochester, New York has been commissioned and has produced its first batch of lithium metal anode product. The Facility represents a greater than tenfold expansion in the Company's ability to supply lithium anode samples to next-generation battery makers and will be able to produce anode in the quantities needed for product qualification.

The Facility establishes key infrastructure for the North American next-generation battery ecosystem, establishing capacity to produce thousands of large pouch cells per year. The pilot plant will also facilitate future anode technology development, helping industrialize the Company's second- and future-generation products and serving as an initial launching off point for the commercialization of next-generation battery technologies in North America.
