Strategically located at the heart of the battery industry, Group14’s BAM-3 factory in South Korea, the first in the world to hit EV scale, is manufacturing thousands of tonnes of our silicon battery material, SCC55®, to fuel hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles and millions of AI-enabled devices.
With battery demand projected to grow nearly seven-fold by 2030, Asia’s role as the manufacturing epicenter has never been more critical. BAM-3 helps meet that rising demand by delivering high-performance silicon battery materials at scale — accelerating the global transition to next-generation energy storage technologies.
BAM-3 sits less than four hours by air from the world’s largest battery manufacturers. This strategic position allows Group14 to seamlessly supply SCC55® to our partners and customers in South Korea, Japan, and China, helping to drive the global shift to silicon batteries.
By providing Asia’s battery industry with local access to silicon battery material at EV-scale, BAM-3 is strengthening regional battery supply chains while safeguarding our customers from global trade uncertainty.
BAM-3 supplies SCC55® to over 100 battery manufacturing customers globally. Group14 delivers to customers representing 95% of worldwide rechargeable battery production.
BAM-3’s initial annual capacity is 2,000 tonnes of SCC55®, equivalent to 10-gigawatt-hours — enough to power millions of products per year, from AI-enabled devices to electric vehicles, eVTOLs, and grid applications.
Group14 acquired 100% ownership of the joint venture factory in August 2025, from long-standing partner and investor SK Inc. Originally established in July 2021, the joint venture, named SK Materials Group14, was formed to address global supply chain challenges amid growing demand for silicon battery materials.
Yes – the SCC55® material produced at BAM-3 is available to customers anywhere in the world.
