- ASPİLSAN Enerji and Top Material signed a $5.2M turnkey contract for a lithium-ion LFP cell production line plus a $600K electrode export agreement.
- Commissioning of the LFP production line is scheduled for 2027.
- New high-power LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells target defense, advanced industrial and mission-critical safety systems.
- Deal includes technology transfer and production line installation to boost localization and enable high-value exports.
Deal overview
ASPİLSAN Enerji and South Korea’s Top Material signed agreements covering a $5.2 million turnkey lithium‑ion cell production line installation and a $600,000 export contract for electrode materials, together with associated technology transfer and production line installation services.
Technology and timeline
The project establishes an LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cell production line with commissioning planned for 2027 to produce next‑generation high‑power LFP cells.
Applications and capabilities
The cells are targeted for defense, advanced industrial, mission‑critical and safety‑critical systems; the programme aims to strengthen domestic production and engineering capabilities and increase localization in critical technologies.
International cooperation and exports
The collaboration, ongoing since 2021 and building on prior contributions to Türkiye’s first cylindrical lithium‑ion cell production infrastructure, is positioned as an early model that integrates local production, technology acquisition and exports between South Korea and Türkiye, enabling high value‑added exports from locally produced cells and electrodes.
