Profile
Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt is a Chinese company and one of the world's most important suppliers of cobalt and nickel materials for lithium-ion batteries, with an integrated business spanning resources, refining, materials and recycling. It was founded in 2002 and is publicly listed.
The company organises its operations around resource development (including cobalt and nickel from Africa and Indonesia), new-materials manufacturing (ternary precursors, nickel and cobalt chemicals), new-energy manufacturing (cathode materials) and recycling.
