Pick a company to see where it actually produces — every country in its footprint, shaded by capacity share — overlaid with the countries whose register actions name it (severity ring + action count), plus violet arcs to the chokepoint countries its material inputs depend on. The map is a lens; the dossier and register are the source of record.
LG Chem, Ltd. produces across 5 countries — 20% of mapped capacity sits in 🇰🇷 South Korea (HQ 🇰🇷 South Korea).
material exposures: lithium · nickel · cobalt · manganese · aluminium
3 register actions name LG Chem, Ltd., issued from 2 countries (top: 🇰🇷 South Korea ×2) — 1 of those also sit in its production footprint (regulator ∩ producer).

Its 5 scored input materials trace to 1 supplier country — 1 refines >70% in a single country. Top input chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China (manganese 90%, cobalt 78%, lithium 65%, +2) — nearest ex-🇨🇳 manganese producer: 🇿🇦 South Africa ~5% — ~6-12mo to ramp (share-of-stage heuristic, not a sourced qualification time).Armed chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China has itself issued 5 register actions restricting the inputs it already dominates — cobalt (4), manganese (1) — max severity 5/5. This share is a demonstrated lever, not just a concentration.Latest: China Customs Tariff Commission — Zero-Tariff Treatment for All 53 African Diplomatic Partners (May 2026–April 2028) · 2026-04-28 · 162d ago
Substitutes & lead-time to switch: lithium → · nickel → · cobalt → · aluminium →
Overlap node: 🇨🇳 China sits in two of the three layers — 20% of mapped capacity · dominant world supplier of 5 scored inputs (manganese 90%). It hosts capacity AND controls an input feeding it — a two-sided lever.Also multi-layer: 🇰🇷 South Korea (produces + regulates)
Named counterparties: this dossier names 1 firm with a source; 1 is in this corpus with a mapped footprint, and 1 of those produces in a country already on this map (🇨🇳 China) — the named end of an exposure the country layers show anonymously.Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd. (supplier) 🇨🇳 CN ◆ ◆ = produces in a country already on this map.7 other dossiers name LG Chem, Ltd. from the other side (supplier / customer / both).
Reading the map: green shading = the company's production countries by capacity share, with dots at facility cities (dashed = approximate, country-level). Violet arcs = INPUT DEPENDENCIES — they run from the country that dominates world production/refining of a material the company consumes to the company's base; the % is that country's share of world supply at the named stage, NOT an import/export volume. Severity rings = countries whose register actions name the company.
