SMS group takes full ownership of Primobius
SMS group has taken full ownership of battery recycling company Primobius. The move aims to strengthen its position in the growing market for sustainable battery management.
SMS group has acquired full ownership of Primobius, a company specializing in battery recycling. Previously, Primobius was a joint venture between SMS group and Australian firm Neometals.
By fully integrating Primobius, SMS group intends to expand its activities in circular economy and e-mobility. According to the company, recycling lithium-ion batteries offers significant opportunities to recover raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium while reducing dependence on primary sources.
Primobius operates facilities and develops technologies that dismantle batteries, separate materials, and prepare them for reuse.
