Permascand merged with Magneto Special Anodes about a year ago, creating a combined electrochemical business specializing in high-end coated anodes and cathodes. The company is now entering a new phase under the unified name Elicron, which is intended to signal continuity from its legacy businesses while supporting further growth with solutions that enable customers’ operational excellence.
According to the company, the Elicron name is derived from the words ‘Electrochemical’ and ‘On’, reflecting its technical focus and ongoing ambitions. Elicron’s manufacturing sites and R&D operations are located across three continents – Europe, North America, and Asia. The organization brings together around 350 specialists, with a stated aim of offering a depth of expertise that is important for the development of advanced electrochemical solutions.
“Elicron reflects what we work with every day and gives our shared technical expertise a distinct and unified expression. Together, Permascand and Magneto have 125 years of experience that our customers can truly benefit from,” said David Ekberg, CEO of Elicron.
As markets move toward cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient systems, Elicron supports this transition by manufacturing electrochemical components, upgrading existing installations, and co-developing durable, high-performance solutions with customers. The company states that its mission is to create long-term business value while reducing environmental impact.
“Our journey ahead will be defined by initiative, curiosity and the innovative spirit that has long characterized both Permascand and Magneto Special Anodes. Elicron embodies stability and a confident future for our clients around the world,” said David Ekberg.
