According to Yonhap News,



Jeonbuk State, Saemangeum Development and Investment Agency, Gunsan-si, and Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC) announced that they signed an investment agreement with FutureGraph, a natural graphite anode material producer, for the construction of a "Secondary Battery Anode Core Material Manufacturing Facility" at the Ramada Hotel in Gunsan on June 5.

FutureGraph, a company that produces spherical graphite (intermediate material for anode materials with increased purity by rounding irregular particles of graphite ore), was established by POSCO Future M in May.

The company will build a spherical graphite manufacturing facility on approximately 132,000㎡ in the Saemangeum National Industrial Complex, with an investment of KRW 436.1 billion.

The construction is scheduled to begin in August this year, with a target completion date of May 2027.

The facility is expected to produce 37,000 tons of spherical graphite annually and will create 119 jobs.
