Overview

Lithium Americas Corp. is a mining company focused on advancing lithium projects in Argentina and the United States to production. Caucharí-Olaroz (Argentina) is advancing toward production as the largest new brine operation in over 20 years, while Thacker Pass, the largest-known lithium resource in the US, is under construction.

Lithium Americas wanted to replace its multiple legacy systems and applications with a modern ERP solution that would improve integration of production, logistics, and management processes and provide better, clearer visibility across the business. They chose SAP S/4HANA to achieve these goals and support the Company’s growth going forward.
