Rock Tech Lithium Appoints Cristina Rocco as COO

Expansion of management capacities to achieve the goal of closed lithium production for electric vehicle batteries

Ratingen, April 26, 2022 – Cristina Rocco will take over the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the German-Canadian company Rock Tech Lithium on May 1, 2022. Previously, Markus Brgmann had held the position of COO in personal union with that of CEO.

Rocco has previously worked for various global companies and has extensive experience in the energy sector.

She will be responsible for all operational activities of Rock Tech Lithium in Europe and Canada, including the construction of the first lithium hydroxide converter in Germany.

Commenting on Rocco’s appointment, Brgmann said: I am delighted to welcome Cristina to our team. She brings a lot of experience and know-how in optimizing the processes of fast-growing companies and significantly increases our management capacities.

Rocco will work closely with Brgmann to implement Rock Tech Lithium’s vision. The company plans to produce high-purity, battery-quality lithium hydroxide for electric car batteries in Guben/Brandenburg from 2024.

About Rock Tech Lithium

Rock Tech Lithium is a German and Canadian based clean tech company that will supply the automotive industry with high quality lithium hydroxide made in Germany. As early as 2024, the company will commission Europe’s first lithium converter with a production capacity of 24,000 tons per year. A quantity that is sufficient to equip around 500,000 electric cars with lithium-ion batteries.

The clean-tech company has set itself the goal of creating the world’s first closed circuit for lithium and thus closing the raw material gap on the way to clean mobility. Rock Tech owns the Georgia Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada. By 2030, around 50 percent of the raw materials used should come from the recycling of old batteries.

Rock Tech Lithium is listed on the Toronto and Frankfurt stock exchanges. The company is managed by Dirk Harbecke, Chairman, Markus Brgmann, Chief Executive Officer, Stefan Krause, Chief Financial Officer, and Don Stevens, Chief Technology Officer.
