The company's core products include ternary precursor and cathode materials for lithium power batteries such as nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) and nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) battery materials; ultrafine cobalt-nickel powders and chemicals; cobalt oxide, lithium cobaltate, nickel chemical products; recycled tungsten carbide, tungsten powder, and cemented carbide products; precious metals including gold, silver, palladium, and rhodium; wood plastic composites and other recycled plastic products; and energy storage solutions such as energy storage power stations, UPS, and lithium-ion battery systems for applications including aerial work platforms and electric vehicles. GEM operates across China and internationally, with a strategic focus on battery recycling, including recycling of used batteries, electronic waste, and scrapped automobiles. Recent major developments include the completion of a 20,000-ton capacity lithium iron phosphate (manganese) production line in 2025 at the Fu'an Industrial Park and the establishment of an annual 50,000-ton production capacity facility for high-nickel ternary precursor materials in Indonesia. The company has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with US-based Ascend Elements, Inc. to expand into the European power lithium battery recycling and nickel-cobalt-lithium resource recovery markets. Additionally, GEM submitted an application for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2025, supported by joint sponsors JPMorgan, CITIC Securities, and CICC International. The firm's business model integrates key metal recycling, lithium battery recycling, and new energy material manufacturing, contributing to its global green industry strategy. GEM maintains a network of 16 recycling industrial parks across China with over three million tons of annual waste treatment capacity and has been expanding its operations and partnerships internationally to secure critical metal supplies and enhance production capacity for battery materials amid changing trade policies and supply chain dynamics.
