ACT-ion Battery Technologies, Inc. has signed a lease for a new facility at 1200 Tappan Circle in Carrollton, Texas, where it will establish a pilot plant to scale its manufacturing process for cathode active materials (CAM) used in next-generation lithium-ion batteries. The facility is expected to begin operations in 2026.
The site represents an important step toward commercializing ACT-ion’s high-throughput process, which is designed to lower the cost, environmental impact, and production time of key battery materials.
The technology is compatible with multiple cathode chemistries, including nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP), and replaces conventional high-temperature synthesis with a cleaner, continuous production method.
Located within the Dallas–Fort Worth industrial corridor, the Carrollton facility positions the company within a growing regional ecosystem for clean-energy and advanced manufacturing. The pilot plant is expected to create new technical jobs and strengthen domestic supply chains supporting electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems.
ACT-ion’s process eliminates chemical byproducts and reduces energy, water, and space requirements compared with conventional CAM production methods.
The company’s scale-up efforts have received support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office and Vehicle Technologies Office, reflecting federal interest in strengthening the domestic EV battery supply chain.
