On January 1, 2026, Capchem made three significant investment announcements, signaling the commencement of its lithium-ion battery materials project in the Middle East. The company intends to allocate US$260 million towards establishing a production facility in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. This plant is projected to annually produce 200,000 metric tons of carbonate solvents, while also possessing the co-production capacity for 100,000 metric tons of ethylene glycol. Concurrently, Capchem is set to invest up to RMB 200 million in the Phase II expansion of its lithium-ion battery materials project in Poland, aiming to enhance its localized supply capabilities within the European market. Furthermore, an additional RMB 103 million will be channeled into the Phase II development of the Tianjin semiconductor chemicals and lithium-ion battery materials project. This investment will facilitate the construction of new, state-of-the-art production lines, elevating the total project investment to RMB 320 million. By pursuing multiple strategic initiatives simultaneously, Capchem is poised to optimize its global capacity distribution and strengthen its industrial chain.
