Project Overview: This mega project involved the construction of a new battery material production facility in Western Poland, designed as a zero-emission plant to support the rapidly expanding European electric vehicle and energy storage markets. With a total investment of €1.2 billion, the project was executed under an EPCM contract led by an external engineering firm with a strong petrochemical background. The facility was built to meet the highest environmental and efficiency standards, requiring substantial power supply capacity and advanced chemical process integration. IM Procurement played a pivotal role in managing strategic procurement and contracting activities for critical process equipment, construction packages, and supplier engagement. Despite significant supply chain pressures and single-source supplier dependencies, the project achieved major procurement milestones on time through proactive coordination, transparent communication, and deep market expertise.
Scope: • Development of a zero-emission battery material production facility • Procurement and installation of high-capacity chemical process units • Energy infrastructure design to meet significant power demands • Coordination of global equipment suppliers and construction contractors • Integration of sustainability and circular economy principles across the value chain
Challenges:
• Extremely high construction demand and material volume requirements across multiple work fronts • Limited availability and capacity of qualified suppliers in the region • High dependency on single-source suppliers for specialized process equipment • Energy infrastructure constraints due to the plant’s zero-emission requirements • Coordination complexities between EPCM, owner, and multiple global suppliers
