The issue: The development and production of electric vehicles (EVs) requires a change in the sourcing of raw materials, the implementation of new components, and the adherence to new standards, particularly in regards to batteries and fast-charging infrastructure. Ensuring seamless integration and reducing the risk of disruptions within the eMobility supply chain is crucial.
The answer: Addressing shortages and bottlenecks, particularly in the extraction and processing of raw materials, is key. Standardization will lower the costs of both R&D and production. By working together, organizations can create a supply chain that is efficient, robust, and mutually beneficial.

In recent years, the e-mobility industry has been developing at a tremendous pace both in Poland and around the world, as evidenced by the increasing number of cars with distinctive green license plates on city streets. Not everyone is aware of the important role Poland plays in the development of this industry. Our country is the largest supplier of lithium-ion car batteries in Europe, thanks to LG Energy Solution near Wroclaw, which is the world's leading producer of batteries for electric cars. LG has attracted to Poland, among others, Asian electrolyte producers who not only import raw materials but also build factories in our country.
What is electrolyte? It is a solution that has the ability to conduct electrical current. Its presence inside the car battery is necessary for it to generate and transmit current at a specified voltage and current.
Suppliers of electrolyte are interested in a stable but also flexible supply chain of their product directly to the production line of lithium-ion batteries. ADECON meets their expectations by building such a supply chain. Through collaboration with agents around the world, we are able to pick up the goods almost from the door, or rather from the ramp of the factory producing such raw material. We organize sea freight to Europe and offer customs services, after which the raw material often goes to our depot or warehouse, where it is stored until it is ready to be used in a production process. Here, the raw material ends its journey, but the finished product, i.e. batteries, also has to be sent on further. We offer the export of goods to the farthest corners of the world, even to the door of the recipient, not only to the port in the destination.
Often, after using the raw material, we also have specialized empty packages - steel drums or iso tanks - that have to return to Asia so that they can be used further. Such containers are usually returned uncleaned, and so from the IMDG regulations point of view, it is still a dangerous product at sea. And here the whole process comes full circle, because after appropriate cleaning and preparation, the containers are ready to hit the road with raw material or ready-made electrolyte again.
Suppliers of electrolyte must ensure the continuity of deliveries of their product to production in accordance with regulations and environmental protection standards. ADECON has experience in managing such supply chains, guaranteeing timely and safe delivery of raw material and finished product around the world.
