We can rapidly expand existing production by replicating our proven facilities to establish regional manufacturing capacity.

THE MATERIAL BEHIND THE PERFORMANCE

GEMX® Cathode Technology.

Patented grain-boundary enrichment places cobalt and aluminum where they matter most, improving stability and performance while reducing total cobalt.

  • Lower cobalt content
  • Higher energy and power
  • Longer cycle life
  • Lower cost manufacturing

Developed at CAMX Power. Manufactured by ABCW.

OUR FOUNDER

Dr. Kenan E. Sahin

Founder & CEO, CAMX Power & ABCW

Dr. Kenan E. Sahin is the founder and CEO of CAMX Power, with a career spanning academia, invention, and technology entrepreneurship. After teaching at MIT and Harvard, he founded Kenan Systems, which grew to more than 1,000 employees worldwide before its acquisition by Lucent Technologies. He subsequently served as a vice president at Bell Labs.

In 2002, Dr. Sahin founded TIAX by acquiring Arthur D. Little’s laboratory-based Technology & Innovation business. CAMX Power spun out of TIAX in 2014 to advance lithium-ion battery technologies, including cathode materials used by leading manufacturers. In 2026, he launched ABCW, Inc. to manufacture battery products developed by CAMX Power, bringing together cathode materials, lithium-ion cells, and battery packs in a domestic manufacturing platform
