Martin Phillips has been appointed CEO of Talga Group, the Australian company that will mine graphite in Vittangi, east of Kiruna, and manufacture battery anodes in Luleå.

Martin Phillips has previously served as Head of Europe and Global Head of Operations at Talga. Since joining Talga in 2016, he has, among other things, been responsible for building up the Swedish operations. As CEO of the Talga Group, he will have his office in Stockholm.”We currently have operations in Sweden, England, Germany and Australia and for me it is natural to relocate permanently to Sweden to be close to both the business and the European automotive industry. It also feels particularly fun to move to Stockholm now that my Swedish language skills have begun to improve,” says Martin Phillips.Talga received an environmental permit last year to open a graphite mine in Nunasvaara, outside Vittangi in the north of Norrbotten. It is one of the world’s best deposits of graphite. The graphite will be used to produce material for anodes for batteries in a new factory to be built in Luleå Industrial Park.
