sustainability of electric batteries

Blomberg, Germany / Porto, Portugal, 29th of May 2024.

Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological
wood-based products, and Amorim Cork Composites, a business unit of
Corticeira Amorim, world leader in the cork industry, have come together to
develop an innovative range of sustainable solutions for EV batteries:
FiberCork.

With the increase in demand for electric vehicles and the pressure to reduce
their environmental impact, manufacturers are seeking more sustainable
materials that maintain performance and safety in battery systems.
FiberCork, ensures that the product not only performs exceptionally but also
actively contributes to carbon reduction.

FiberCork is a range of solutions designed for the thermal insulation of
high voltage batteries in electric vehicles and offers applications such as
thermal pads, bulkhead partition walls, and module covers, ensuring
excellent insulation performance. It combines Amorim Cork Composites
capacity in the innovation and development of cork composites solutions with
Delignit's expertise in transforming beech wood for the automotive industry.
This partnership reinforces the mission of both companies to contribute to
more environmentally friendly electric mobility.

Cork's properties - such as low density, thermal insulation and
compressibility - are combined with beech-wood's resistance to particle
bombardment, creating a set of sustainable and unique solutions that stand
out from conventional materials and respect the strict requirements of this
industry.

'The electric mobility sector has undergone major transformations over the
last few years, which has resulted in great opportunities in terms of
innovation', says João Pedro Azevedo, CEO of Amorim Cork Composites. 'Our
company already has a strong track record in providing high performance cork
solutions for demanding industries such as aerospace or automotive. That is
why we are confident in the added value that the FiberCork range can bring
to the e-mobility market in terms of performance and sustainability.'

'The unique material properties of our Delignit material have been
impressing customers in technologically demanding applications for decades.
The Delignit/Cork combination has the potential to become a gamechanger on
the path of decarbonization in EV, bringing renewable raw materials into a
new, highly engineered field of application', Markus Büscher says, CEO of
Delignit Group.
