Its role Owner
Mitra Chem, operating as the trade name for Mitra Future Technologies, Inc., is a venture-backed company specializing in the development and commercial-scale production of iron-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
Headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company was founded in 2021 and employs an AI-native acceleration platform that integrates machine learning, automation, and proprietary process knowledge to reduce the typical lab-to-production timeline for battery materials by over 90 percent.
Its flagship products are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode active materials, which provide cost-effective, safer, and more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional nickel- and cobalt-containing cathodes for applications in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and defense technologies.
Mitra Chem maintains a research and development laboratory in Silicon Valley and is developing its first commercial manufacturing facility in Muskegon, Michigan, through a partnership with Sun Chemical. This project, supported by up to $125 million in U.S. Department of Energy and Michigan state funding, aims to establish the first mass-production capacity for LFP cathodes in North America, significantly advancing domestic supply chain resilience.
The company has secured substantial investments from entities including General Motors, Social Capital, and L&F, positioning it as an emerging leader in the U.S. battery materials sector focused on critical materials onshoring and sustainable electrification.
