About Livent Corporation
Overview
Livent Corporation is a leading lithium technology company producing high-performance lithium compounds for batteries, aerospace, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Spun off from FMC Corporation in 2019, Livent has over 75 years of lithium expertise and operates an integrated production platform spanning Argentina, the United States, China, India, and the UK. The company focuses on high-purity, specialty lithium products.
Operations
Livent operates lithium extraction facilities in Salar del Hombre Muerto, Argentina (one of the world's highest-quality lithium brines), and lithium processing and manufacturing facilities in Bessemer City (North Carolina), Philadelphia, Bromborough (UK), Zhangjiagang (China), and Komarapalayam (India). The company produces lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and specialty organolithium compounds for diverse applications.
Strategy
The company's strategy emphasizes expanding lithium hydroxide production capacity to meet growing EV battery demand, leveraging proprietary technology for high-purity products, maintaining integrated operations from brine to finished products, securing long-term customer agreements with major battery and cathode manufacturers, and delivering sustainable growth. Livent focuses on quality and technical service rather than commodity production.
Key Projects
Major projects include Phase 1 capacity expansion in Argentina to increase lithium carbonate equivalent production to 40,000 tonnes, Phase 2 expansion plans to reach approximately 84,000 tonnes, debottlenecking projects at conversion facilities in the US and UK, and evaluation of additional brine resources in Argentina. Livent is investing in proprietary direct lithium extraction technology to improve recovery and reduce environmental impact.
