The El 6 group, a manufacturer of carbon-graphite products, has announced an investment of over 1.2 ₽ billion to expand its production capacity. CEO Sergey Ushakov confirmed that the company is currently executing two separate investment projects.
The first project involves the modernization of the Novosibirsk plant, scheduled for completion in June 2027. This initiative includes the installation of a second automated Eirich mixing complex. The new line will boost the production of graphite electrodes and enable the manufacturing of large-scale cathode blocks for high-power electrolyzers.
Additionally, El 6 is evaluating the establishment of the first domestic production facility for anode materials used in lithium-ion batteries. The company has finalized the technical and economic feasibility study and reports a high level of readiness to proceed with this project.
The company's recent capital expenditure follows a period of significant investment. Between 2020 and 2025, the El 6 group invested more than 7.5 ₽ billion into the development of its production facilities.
