Allkem (OTCMKTS:OROCF) is a global lithium chemicals company that specializes in the production of battery‐grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. The company was originally established as Orocobre Limited in 2009 to develop the Olaroz lithium project in northwest Argentina. In 2021, Orocobre completed a merger with Galaxy Resources, creating Allkem and significantly expanding its footprint across key lithium producing regions.
Allkem’s principal operations include the Salar de Olaroz lithium carbonate facility in Argentina, the Mt Cattlin spodumene mine in Western Australia, and the Naraha lithium hydroxide plant in Japan, which it operates through a joint venture with Toyota Tsusho and LG Energy Solution. These strategically located assets enable Allkem to supply high‐purity lithium products to battery manufacturers worldwide.
The company serves an international customer base in the electric vehicle and renewable energy storage sectors, with sales channels extending across Asia, North America and Europe. In addition to its core production sites, Allkem is advancing exploration and development projects in Canada, aiming to capitalize on growing global demand for lithium.
Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, Allkem is led by CEO Martín Pérez de Solay, who has steered the company’s growth since 2019. Under his leadership, Allkem has emphasized sustainable resource development, environmental stewardship and constructive community engagement in the regions where it operates.
