September 4, 2026
This summer, Aquatech welcomed EXIM Chairman John Jovanovic and the EXIM leadership team to our Canonsburg headquarters for discussions on advancing U.S. critical minerals, energy security, and domestic manufacturing.
During the visit, our leadership team shared how Aquatech is helping accelerate commercial-scale critical mineral production through the PEARL™ platform and discussed the strategic importance of Project White Silver in strengthening the U.S. lithium supply chain.
The conversation also explored opportunities to support future critical infrastructure projects through EXIM-backed financing, Project Vault, and continued collaboration. We also highlighted how EXIM's Make More in America Initiative has helped expand Aquatech's U.S. technology development and testing capabilities.
We appreciate Chairman Jovanovic and the EXIM team for the opportunity to exchange perspectives on the technologies and partnerships helping strengthen America's industrial future.
