BERLIN, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Canada's Rock Tech Lithium  RCK.V 
has signed a memorandum of understanding with Bilfinger
 GBFG.DE  for cooperation on the construction of a European
lithium converter, the German industrial services provider said
on Wednesday. 
    Bilfinger would overtake engineering services and, in the
event the project is realized, procurement services and
construction management, it said in a statement. 
    Rock Tech Lithium announced plans in October to build a
converter plant in Brandenburg, the German state surrounding
Berlin, to make battery-grade lithium hydroxide for electric
vehicles. 
    The plant will be in the town of Guben, a roughly 90-minute
drive from where Tesla  TSLA.O  is building its gigafactory.
