AMG Critical Materials

Company Description

AMG Critical Materials produces specialty metals and advanced materials essential for the energy transition, aerospace, and electronics industries. The company's products—including vanadium, lithium, tantalum, and antimony—are critical inputs for batteries, jet engines, semiconductors, and solar panels. AMG operates through three segments: AMG Lithium (processing lithium ore and tantalum for batteries and electronics), AMG Vanadium (recycling spent catalysts into ferrovanadium for steel and vanadium electrolytes for grid-scale batteries), and AMG Technologies (advanced vacuum furnaces, processed graphite, and antimony products). Notably, AMG is the world's largest recycler of vanadium-containing refinery waste, operating a closed-loop circular economy. The company was formed in 2006 (originally as Advanced Metallurgical Group) and rebranded to AMG Critical Materials in 2023 to reflect its focus on materials essential for decarbonization. Headquartered in Amsterdam with production facilities across Germany, the UK, France, US, China, Mexico, Brazil, and India, AMG serves customers at the heart of major industrial supply chains. With approximately 3,600 employees and $1.6 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue, AMG is led by CEO and Chairman Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch. The company is expanding its lithium value chain in Europe and building vanadium electrolyte capacity in Germany for the growing energy storage market. In October 2025, AMG signed a major lithium hydroxide supply agreement with Beijing Easpring, supporting the global EV battery supply chain.
