NOVONIX earns ISO 9001 certification for US synthetic graphite anode production

Battery materials company NOVONIX has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, an important step as the company scales its Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for commercial production of synthetic graphite active anode material (AAM).

ISO 9001 is a quality management standard used across global manufacturing supply chains as a benchmark for quality management. The certification demonstrates that the company has implemented a quality management system designed to support commercial-scale manufacturing. The certification complements, but does not replace, customer-specific product qualification requirements.

“Our customers require not only high-performance material, but confidence that we have the systems and discipline necessary to manufacture consistently and reliably at commercial scale,” said Mike O’Kronley, CEO of NOVONIX. “Achieving ISO 9001 certification provides independent certification of the quality infrastructure we have built and reinforces our ability to serve customers as a reliable domestic supplier of high-performance synthetic graphite.”

“ISO 9001 certification reflects the company-wide effort to embed quality into how we operate,” said Meghan Vandelinder, Senior Manager, Quality Control at NOVONIX. “The systems we have established to control our processes, measure performance and continuously improve are essential to meeting our customers’ demanding quality and consistency requirements.”

Synthetic graphite AAM is a critical component of lithium-ion batteries. NOVONIX is scaling domestic production to help establish a more secure North American supply of this critical battery material for energy storage, grid resilience, electric vehicles and industrial applications.
