Asahi Kasei plans to open Canada’s first wet-process EV battery separator plant in Port Colborne by late 2026, creating over 300 jobs.
Asahi Kasei is preparing to move about 20 employees into its $1.56-billion battery separator plant in Port Colborne, Ontario, by late 2026, with construction nearly complete.
The facility, set to open as the first wet-process lithium-ion separator plant in Canada, will produce critical EV battery components and eventually create over 300 full-time jobs, though production will align with customer demand and market conditions.
The company is hiring locally for startup roles, partnering with schools for training, and bringing in technicians from global sites.
Infrastructure upgrades, including a proposed substation near the Welland Canal, are underway to support reliable power from the Crowland transformer station.
