Epsilon Advanced Materials is following Johnson Matthey's footsteps in Moosburg
and is moving into a technology centre for LFP cathode materials built by the British company
According to a statement from Epsilon Advanced Materials (EAM)
the plant in Moosburg is suitable for the production of LFP and LMFP cathodes on a laboratory and pilot scale and is intended to accelerate the company’s plans to set up LFP cathode production in India
The division’s cathode material plant there is scheduled to commence operations this year
EAM is talking about a planned output of 100,000 tonnes of LFP cathode material by 2030
the Moosburg plant has a versatile pilot plant in which new materials can be validated
“This acquisition reaffirms our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the evolving EV battery market,” says Vikram Handa
“The advanced technology center in Moosburg strategically positions us to lead the industry in cathode material manufacturing.”
EAM owes its new presence in Germany to the surprising withdrawal of the British chemicals group Johnson Matthey from the battery materials business for the automotive industry in 2021. The British company sold parts of this business to the EV Metals Group and Nano One Materials in 2022

A group of German visitors was welcomed by town twinning association members in Sawbridgeworth
enjoyed a reception in the town council chamber at Sayesbury Manor on their arrival from Heathrow on Thursday October 24
There were welcome speeches from the mayor and both groups
guests and hosts met up in Colchester for a bilingual guided tour
A free day on the Saturday ended with a Chinese meal at the Peking Palace in Knight Street
where the town’s guests were presented with a Sawbridgeworth calendar
Moosburg town council link person Erwin Weber was given a bottle of English sparkling wine and he presented hosts with a book in German about the key dates in Moosburg’s 1,250-year history
the groups met up for a bring-and-share lunch at the Hailey Centre before the Moosburg party left for Heathrow
Sawbridgeworth Town Twinning Association chairman David Royle said: “Particular thanks go to the town clerk and mayor and town council staff for the excellent reception
to Ruth Armistead and Sally Pribul for their organisation of the visit and transport to and from Heathrow.”

German commuter and knitter Claudia Weber travels to Munich regularly from her town Moosburg in the Bavarian countryside
Due to track repairs which began last year
her train commute was replaced with a bus service that would often be delayed for up to 30 minutes or longer
Weber decided to start detailing her daily travel troubles by translating the delays into a wool scarf
Each evening after she returned home she would add two new rows to her textile work— gray for any delay under five minutes
pink for when she had to wait up to 30 minutes
and bright red for a delay that lasted more than a half hour or was in both directions
She titled her four-foot-long finished work “Bahn-Verspätungsschal,” or “rail delay scarf,” which went viral after it was posted by her daughter Sara on Twitter. After becoming a hit, she decided to auction it off on eBay to raise money for Bahnhofs Mission
a charity that provides assistance at train stations
The scarf sold to an undisclosed buyer for 7,550 euros or $8,650
Although Weber remains a loyal commuter on the Munich-Moosburg train
this year she has again started a new scarf

British multinational Johnson Matthey has sold off its lithium-ion battery interests in two deals in as many days
Johnson Matthey (JM) sold off its assets in Canada to battery materials firm Nano One Materials Corp
and its battery materials interests in the UK
chief executive of JM said: “Johnson Matthey made the decision to exit battery materials due to insufficient returns
increased commoditisation of battery materials combined with the need for very high capital investments to remain competitive
“This important divestment means Johnson Matthey can now focus on our core portfolio.”
the firm confirmed it had sold all the outstanding shares of its Canada-based lithium-ion battery business Johnson Matthey Battery Materials (JMBM) to Nano One in a deal worth around C$10.25 million ($7.9 million)
pilot to commercial scale cathode production and product qualification and quality assurance systems expertise for tier 1 automotive lithium-ion cell manufacturers
It also includes its Candiac 2,400 tonne per annum capacity LFP production facility in Québec
The transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2022
subject to JMBM Canada fulfilling contractual commitments and certain other customary closing conditions
Condon said: “We have worked with Nano One on a number of projects over the last year and having seen their innovations
we believe they have the potential to develop the Candiac site in the best way possible
“We remain at the Candiac site until the end of the year and are fully committed to serving the needs of our customers.”
The Candiac production facility was acquired by Johnson Matthey in 2015 and has been in operation since 2012
It is a supplier of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material to the lithium-ion battery sector for both automotive and non-automotive applications for a select group of customers
JM announced it had entered into an agreement for the sale of part of its battery materials business to EV Metals Group for £50 million ($62.8 million) in cash and a minority equity stake in EV Metals
The buy-out by the Australian battery chemicals and technology firm includes assets at JM’s battery technology centre in Oxford and battery technology centre and pilot plant in Billingham— both in the UK— a research centre in Moosburg
Germany and the partly constructed site in Konin
The deal is expected to be finalised within months
the deal comes five months after JM placed 150 staff at its Billingham plant under consultation
after announcing plans to close the battery materials business
underpinned by the GEMX® and CAM-7® cathode platforms the company licensed from US firm CAMX Power
managing director and chief executive officer of EV Metals Group said: “The acquisition of the battery materials business is a strong strategic fit for us
leading technology for the production of cathode active materials
we are well positioned to drive the successful commercialisation of LMs cam technology
taking full advantage of the group’s ‘mine to OEM’ integrated supply chain
which addresses the long-term market challenge of both surety of raw materials and the supply of processed materials.”

Auf der A92 kam es am Samstag zu einem tragischen Unfall
Langenpreising - Ein entsetzlicher Raserunfall hat sich am Samstagmittag auf der A 92 kurz hinter der Anschlussstelle Moosburg Süd ereignete
Dabei erlitten drei Brüder im Alter zwischen 40 und 44 Jahren schwerste Verletzungen
waren mit einem 440 PS starken Porsche Cayenne auf der A 92 in Richtung Landshut unterwegs
Den knapp 80.000 Euro teuren und fast neuen Boliden hatten sie sich im Landkreis Landshut ausgeliehen
nach Angaben der Autobahnpolizei Freising unternahmen sie eine Probefahrt
Das Unglück nahm auf Höhe der Anschlussstelle Moosburg-Süd seinen Lauf
als gegen 12 Uhr ein mit zwei Arbeitern besetzter Monteurslieferwagen aus Eitting auf die linke Spur wechselte
schoss der Porsche heran – „mit wohl sehr hohem Tempo“
Zunächst prallte er gegen die Mittelleitplanke aus Beton
Danach wurde das SUV ausgehoben und raste unter das linke Heck des Sattelschleppers einer österreichischen Spedition
ebenso die beiden Insassen des Lieferwagens
Danach schleuderte der Porsche an dem Sattelschlepper vorbei
prallte gegen die rechte Leitplanke und blieb vor der Zugmaschine liegen
Die rechte Seite des Boliden wurde regelrecht herausgerissen
Ein ADAC-Rettungshubschrauber flog ihn ins Klinikum München-Harlaching
Die anderen beiden kamen in die Kliniken Freising und Landshut
Im Einsatz waren mehrere Rettungswagen und Notärzte sowie die Feuerwehren Moosburg
die Autobahnmeisterei leitete den Verkehr um
Dennoch bildete sich ein mehrere Kilometer langer Stau
Die Staatsanwaltschaft Landshut ordnete ein unfallanalytisches Gutachten an
Den Schaden beziffert die Polizei mit mindestens 100 000 Euro
Auf der A73 nahe dem Großraum Nürnberg staute sich der Verkehr nach einem Unfall
Ein Porsche-Fahrer nutzte die Rettungsgasse
um voranzukommen - und lieferte eine dreiste Erklärung
