NEO Battery Materials (TSXV:NBM) signed lithium battery purchase orders with a Fortune Global 500 automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in Asia.

Manufacturing is already underway at NEO’s recently leased production facility in South Korea, with the batteries, slated for near-term delivery, to be recognized as the first revenue in company history.

“We are pleased to initiate commercial production with a global automotive OEM partner through EN+ [a temporary intermediary coordinating commercial supply with the OEM]” Seok Joung Youn, head of manufacturing & facility operations at NEO Battery Materials, said in Tuesday’s news release. “These orders provide an opportunity to demonstrate our manufacturing capability in producing industry-grade battery components and cells. As we work towards commercial output in the automotive sector, we will continue advancing silicon-enhanced battery production and expanding our downstream market pipeline.”

NEO hopes to parlay this milestone along a path to profitability, leveraging its patent-protected, end-to-end manufacturing process, which has been shown to deliver average cost savings of more than 60 per cent versus legacy technology.
