OCSiAl opened its first European production facility in Serbia which produces TUBALL nanotubes and nanotube-based products.

OCSiAl opened its first European graphene nanotube production facility in Serbia.

The 10,000-square-meter, ISO 9001-certified facility includes a graphene nanotube synthesis unit, production lines for dispersions and concentrates, an R&D hub, and quality control labs. It has passed rigorous audits from top car battery manufacturers.

In line with OCSiAl’s sustainability goals, the new facility operates entirely on hydroelectric power. Graphene nanotubes also contribute directly to a Net Zero future by reinforcing materials to extend product life and by enhancing energy efficiency. In electric vehicles alone, nanotubes in batteries and tires can cut total life-cycle CO2 emissions by up to 8%.

The plant will initially produce 60 tons of graphene nanotubes per year. This will enhance the supply of advanced nanotube solutions across Europe, Asia, and the US.

“Our nanotube dispersion line alone can enhance up to 65 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity, sufficient for more than 1 million EVs with typical 65 kWh battery packs,” said Andrej Seniut, Head of OCSiAl Energy Projects.

OCSiAl’s new facility employs a modular design that enables rapid scalability, allowing OCSiAl to set up and launch new synthesis units within two years at any location. The company announced its plans for expansion by the end of 2025 to double the output with a second synthesis unit.
