The group is one of the global leaders in electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries with a strong track record of 30 years and has five electrolyte manufacturing plants located in Japan, the USA, the UK, and China.
As per the terms of the agreement, Neogen will obtain the license to MUIS’ proprietary and confidential manufacturing technology, for making electrolyte solutions at its manufacturing facility in India.
