Altris is a Swedish company, founded in 2017, specialising in the development of sustainable and cost-effective sodium-ion batteries. Their patented cathode material, Prussian White, is made from abundant raw materials such as sodium, iron, carbon and nitrogen, enabling batteries free of conflict minerals and toxic elements.
Altris develops and produces components for sodium-ion batteries, including cathode materials, electrolytes, and battery cells. The company’s technology focuses on offering batteries free from lithium, cobalt, and nickel, using more abundant raw materials such as sodium, iron, and carbon. Production takes place in Uppsala and Sandviken, where the Ferrum facility is planned to reach an annual capacity of 2,000 tonnes of cathode material. Altris collaborates with partners in the automotive and energy sectors—including Volvo Cars, Clarios, and Maersk Growth—to develop battery solutions for various applications.
Altris' business model is based on developing and licensing sodium-ion battery technology, as well as producing and selling cathode materials and battery cells. The company targets manufacturers of batteries and energy storage systems looking for alternatives to lithium-based technologies. Altris has received funding from investors such as InnoEnergy, Molindo, Clarios, Maersk, and Volvo Cars.
Since its founding, Altris has expanded its operations by establishing production facilities and entering into strategic partnerships. The company has received support from the Swedish Energy Agency to develop pilot lines for sodium-ion batteries and has earned recognition for its work in sustainable battery technology.
