Recently, GT's industrial layout has achieved another key milestone. JM Energy Pte. Ltd., controlled by Grandtai Merchant (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., has officially completed the acquisition of Singapore's VGM Sustainability Solutions Pte Ltd., marking a new stage in the Group's integrated layout in the global lithium battery recycling and green new energy materials field. This acquisition, centered on technological compliance, capacity synergy, and a global network, further solidifies the Group's leading position in the Southeast Asian lithium battery circular economy and contributes to the high-quality development of the green energy industry.
JM Energy, as the core platform for the Grandtai Group's lithium battery recycling strategy, leverages the group's extensive experience in global non-ferrous metals and new energy materials trading. It focuses on the recycling, processing, and trading of lithium battery materials, having established a global procurement and sales network and recycling and processing bases in Singapore and Malaysia, forming a stable and efficient industrial operation system. VGM, the company being acquired, is one of the few globally recognized benchmark enterprises with official Singapore government licenses specializing in the recycling and processing of lithium-ion batteries and materials. Holding Singapore's GWDF (General Waste Management Qualification) and a lithium-ion battery recycling license, it has an annual processing capacity exceeding 10,000 tons of lithium battery materials and is recognized as a green economy and environmental education base in Singapore, demonstrating its industry qualifications and technological strength.
Following this acquisition, JM Energy will fully integrate VGM's compliance licenses, core technologies, production capacity, and market channels, achieving deep synergy across four dimensions: qualifications, technology, capacity, and market. VGM's mature recycling process can achieve a recovery rate of up to 95% for valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel from spent batteries, producing high-value-added recyclable materials such as black matter, recycled aluminum powder, and recycled copper powder. These materials are widely used in power batteries, new energy materials, and other fields, perfectly aligning with JM Energy's development philosophy of "For green recycling, For a good environment," promoting the recycling of battery resources, and contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality goals.
From an industry layout perspective, this acquisition is a significant step in Grandatai Group's globalization strategy. Leveraging its five core strengths—channels, finance, talent, business model, and professional technology—the Group integrates social capital and industry resources to continuously improve the upstream and downstream lithium battery recycling industry chain, building an international industrial cluster integrating recycling, processing, and trading. Singapore, as a global green economy hub and trade center, provides an excellent platform for the business integration of JM Energy and VGM. Both parties will utilize the advantages of their dual bases in Singapore and Malaysia to radiate to Southeast Asia and the global market, enhancing the Group's influence and competitiveness in the global lithium battery recycling industry.
Over the next three to five years, JM Energy will accelerate its platform-based transformation and upgrading. Taking this acquisition as an opportunity, it will continue to deepen technological innovation, expand production capacity, optimize its global network, and practice its corporate culture of "responsibility, progress, innovation, and harmony," steadily moving towards its vision of becoming a leading global promoter and innovator of the green energy economy. At the same time, the company will continue to attract outstanding global talent, providing competitive compensation and benefits as well as ample opportunities for career development. It will work hand in hand with industry partners to build a green circular industrial ecosystem and contribute to the sustainable development of global new energy.
This acquisition is not only GTThis significant expansion of the industry landscape is also a vivid example of resource integration and high-quality development in the global lithium battery recycling industry. With the deep integration of both parties, a leading lithium battery recycling company with more advanced technology, a more comprehensive layout, and stronger competitiveness is rapidly emerging, injecting strong momentum into the green energy economy.
