Why It Matters
Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials filed a lobbying disclosure that targets trade policy, battery safety appropriations, and LiPF6 production, an inorganic compound used in commercial secondary batteries.
By the Numbers
The Orbia lobbying disclosure for quarter two 2026 reported $120,000 in expenditures through Ballard Partners LLC, matching the firm's consistent quarterly spending since quarter two 2025. Hunter Morgen and Brian Ballard represented the company as lobbyists.
Broader Context
The company has maintained a dual-firm strategy for over a year. Ballard Partners LLC has consistently charged $120,000 per quarter, while Strategic Marketing Innovations Inc. has handled separate lobbying efforts on different issues, ranging from $50,000 to $60,000 quarterly. This quarter's 2026 filing represents the sixth consecutive quarter Orbia has retained Ballard Partners at the same rate, despite shifting focus areas in other filings.
The disclosure lists trade and tariff advocacy as the issues they plan to focus on.
