The Company’s proprietary processes are designed for industrial scalability and consistent product performance. Allied Graphite currently operates a pilot facility in Mesa, Arizona, which supports process validation, product qualification, and commercial-scale design work for its planned U.S. facility.
Allied Graphite has engaged Hatch, a global engineering, project delivery and professional services firm with deep experience in minerals processing and advanced materials, to support process engineering, facility design and execution planning for the Company’s commercial anode facility. Hatch’s scope includes engineering support across key unit operations, constructability input, and the integration of Allied Graphite’s proprietary processing flowsheet into a scalable, industrial facility design.
In parallel, Allied Graphite has retained JLL to lead site selection services for its planned North American facility. JLL will support a structured location selection process, including evaluation of workforce availability, infrastructure, utilities and logistics, as well as engagement and negotiations with state and local authorities.

“These engagements reflect a deliberate and disciplined approach to building Allied Graphite’s commercial platform. Hatch and JLL bring deep technical and execution expertise in their respective domains, strengthening our ability to advance from pilot operations to a reliable, industrial-scale facility.”
