The Hosokawa Micron Group is increasing its focus on solutions for the manufacture and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. For this purpose, the group of companies has founded an international, group-wide competence team and created the brand 'On'.
'On' stands for the energy and power behind the project. The new brand identifies a new product line for systems for the production of Energy Performance Materials and enables interested parties from the battery industry to get started quickly and access the group's extensive range of solutions.

Combined fields of expertise of the Hosokawa Micron Group
Hosokawa Micron B.V. in the Netherlands specialises in drying and mixing as well as coating. Hosokawa Alpine in Germany is a specialist in processing cathode as well as anode materials and also focuses on in-house and end-of-life recycling. There is vast experience in processing lithium carbonate from salars at Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems in the USA, in containment at Hosokawa Micron Ltd. in the UK, and in bulk & material handling at Hosokawa Solids in Germany and Spain.
Material grinding using the ACM-BC in a ceramic design, a technology developed over many years, is a core competence of the Japanese Hosokawa Micron Corporation. Of particular significance is the long-standing expertise of the Japanese team, which possesses outstanding skills and knowledge not only in the field of ceramic processing, but also in the specialised area of cathode active materials.
It was an obvious decision to pool together these versatile competences and unite this power in the new brand 'On':
