Draslovka is a Czech-headquartered specialty chemicals group focused on cyanide chemistry. The company manufactures hydrogen cyanide derivatives and supplies sodium cyanide for precious‑metal mining, as well as intermediates for organic synthesis and surface treatment. Its Kolín site serves as a major production and R&D hub.
Draslovka also develops and supplies fumigation agents based on ethanedinitrile (EDN) as alternatives to methyl bromide, along with related solutions for agriculture, forestry, and quarantine treatment. The group operates across Europe, the Americas, and Africa, including assets added through acquisitions in mining chemicals.
In emerging applications, Draslovka is working to scale Prussian blue/Prussian white materials used as cathodes for sodium‑ion batteries, leveraging its cyanide chemistry platform and existing infrastructure to support battery supply chains. The company emphasizes process safety and environmental compliance in the handling and transport of highly hazardous substances.
Altris secures key partnerships and recognition, advancing sodium-ion battery industrialization in Europe with strategic investments and collaborations.
Converting a Kolín line to produce up to 350 t/year of sodium‑ion cathode material (~175 MWh). €19.3M in‑kind investment; production due late Q3–early Q4 2026.
The partnership focuses on developing Prussian blue materials for sodium-ion batteries, enhancing production capabilities in the EU and U.S., and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
