Asahi Kasei, a Tokyo-based multinational chemicals company, has chosen Port Colborne, Ontario to build Canada’s first industrial-scale facility that manufactures battery separators – one of the key components of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs).
With an investment of approximately $1.6 billion, this facility marks Asahi Kasei’s first major expansion in Ontario that will meet North America's demand for critical EV battery components, furthering the province’s leadership in the transition towards electric mobility.
Boasting an end-to-end auto supply chain, a skilled workforce, a wealth of critical minerals, and a thriving tech ecosystem, Ontario has everything needed to build the cars of the future.
