Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) is a China-based battery technology company headquartered in Ningde, Fujian. It focuses on the research, development, and manufacture of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage, supplying cells, modules, and packs to global automotive and energy customers. Core technical strengths include cathode and anode chemistries such as LFP and nickel‑rich NMC, with ongoing work on sodium‑ion and other next‑generation systems, alongside battery management and lifecycle engineering.
CATL operates across the battery materials value chain, working with partners on cathode active materials, anodes, electrolytes, and separators, and running recycling programs to recover lithium, nickel, and cobalt for closed‑loop production. The company maintains large‑scale manufacturing in China and is expanding capacity in Europe, supported by R&D and testing centers. Its activities intersect the chemical industry through advanced battery materials development, process scale‑up, and the reliable supply of high‑performance materials integrated into mass‑produced cells and energy storage solutions.
Also known as CATL, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd., and 宁德时代.
