  • Panasonic is looking to achieve consistency in the price of its lithium supplies through a long-term partnership with a producer, while it also tries to reduce its consumption of cobalt from controversial origins.

    Japanese manufacturer Panasonic is willing to make multi-year commitments to secure deliveries of lithium, company vice president Masaharu Nagata said at Industrial Minerals’ 10th Lithium Supply & Markets (LSM) conference in Las Vegas, United States, on June 28.

    Consistency in lithium battery-grade compounds quality is also an important requirement, Nagata said, adding that the company is ready to support producers to achieve good quality battery-grade compounds by providing them with knowhow.
