A total of more than 300 guests attended the conference. Chen Xiansheng, chairman of KOTA Technology, Mitsuya Matsuda, general manager, and Zhu Kaixing, deputy general manager and secretary of the board of directors, attended the meeting.
During the three-day forum, the association and KOTA Technology jointly built a high-quality academic exchange platform for the electronic copper foil industry, bringing together well-known industry companies from all over the country and some Southeast Asian countries to share valuable experiences and exchange advanced concepts around the forum theme of "Jointly create a healthy industry ecology and strive to cross the industry cycle."
At the Fourth Council Meeting of the Electronic Copper Foil Materials Branch of the China Electronic Materials Industry Association and the Senior Meeting of Electronic Copper Foil Enterprises, the and experts in attendance fully analyzed the technological advancement and industrial path of global copper foil in 2023, analyzed future trends, and sparked new ideas.
On the afternoon of June 12, the delegation of copper foil enterprise representatives visited the high-end copper foil equipment industrial park of KOTA Technology Co., Ltd. for a visit and exchange. Chen Xiansheng, chairman of KOTA Technology, and Zhu Kaixing, deputy general manager and secretary of the board of directors of KOTA Technology, accompanied the visit and investigation throughout the whole process, and introduced the visiting representatives in detail about the company's industrial layout, new product research and development, market sales, etc. They also emphasized the company's development strategy of basing itself on the domestic market, continuously promoting technological innovation and product iteration and updating, and focusing on expanding overseas markets.
The delegation visited KOTA's technological innovation exhibition hall and standardized production workshops, and after witnessing KOTA's continuous innovation capabilities, large factory scale, good working environment, orderly production process, strict quality control, harmonious working atmosphere and rigorous work attitude, they gave high praise and full affirmation. They also expressed great praise for the company's standardized process management and strong workshop culture atmosphere.
At 8:30 am on June 13, the high-level forum officially kicked off under the attention of the public.
In his speech, Dai Yong, deputy secretary of the Dafeng District Party Committee and mayor of the District Government of Yancheng City, welcomed the entrepreneurs and experts in the electronic copper foil industry who attended the forum on behalf of the District Party Committee and District Government, and wished the meeting a fruitful outcome.
District Chief Dai pointed out that developing new quality productivity is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development. The widespread application of new technologies is inseparable from the rapid development of the electronic copper foil industry. As the domestic new energy high-end equipment manufacturing company to master and adopt a one-step all-dry process route to design, produce, and manufacture vacuum coating equipment, KOTA Technology hopes that KOTA Technology can further promote the innovative development of the industry through this high-level forum, work together to break through technical bottlenecks, and accelerate the localization of high-end copper foil equipment. At the same time, we also hope that the guests will pay attention to KOTA and Dafeng, share open opportunities, and create a better future together!
At the opening ceremony of the conference, Chen Yubi, Chairman of the Electronic Copper Foil Materials Branch of the China Electronic Materials Industry Association and President of Nord New Materials Co., Ltd., delivered an opening speech and a speech entitled "Jointly Create a Healthy Industry Ecology and Strive to Cross the Industry Cycle". Through detailed data display, he made wonderful sharing to the conference from three aspects: the supply and demand of electrolytic copper foil, promoting the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and the main theme of "stability and progress". The report pointed out that the future development direction of the copper foil industry must be the general trend of thinness, high tensile strength, and high elongation. It is hoped that everyone and KOTA Technology can join hands in the research and development and innovation of copper foil materials, jointly promote Chinese copper foil materials to the world, and contribute to the development of global lithium-ion batteries.
Afterwards, Chen Xiansheng, Chairman of KOTA Technology Co., Ltd., the organizer of the conference, delivered a welcome speech, expressing his warm welcome and sincere gratitude to the guests who attended the forum, and mentioned: KOTA Technology keeps up with the development needs of the industry, and has successively established a high-end copper foil equipment industrial park in Dafeng District, Yancheng, Jiangsu, and an ultra-precision vacuum coating industrial park in Chongchuan District, Nantong, Jiangsu (the world's one-step all-dry process). At present, the Dafeng base has successfully mass-produced and put into use more than 150 large-diameter 3.6-meter seamless spinning high-grain cathode rollers; the Nantong base develops and produces: vacuum magnetron sputtering coating machines, vacuum evaporation coating machines, vacuum magnetron sputtering evaporation composite coating machines, which can achieve 1μm metal material coating on both sides of the roll-to-roll at one time (can be plated with gold, silver, copper, aluminum and other metal materials), breaking through overseas technical barriers in key technologies, processes, modular design, sputtering efficiency, low-carbon environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction and other core indicators, and making major breakthroughs. Our ultra-precision vacuum coating equipment can be widely used in lithium batteries, pan-semiconductors, photovoltaics, military aerospace, consumer electronics and other fields.
Li Xiaoxiang, Assistant General Manager and Sales Director of KOTA Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a keynote speech entitled "High-end copper foil equipment to promote the development of new energy materials industry", and said that the current rapid development of the entire industry has also accelerated the internal competition of the industry. With the continuous expansion of KOTA Technology's overseas market and the successful export of its innovative products, it will surely create greater development space for the healthy development of the industry.
KOTA Technology will always focus on solving the key bottlenecks in the future development of China's high-end copper foil production equipment and ultra-precision vacuum coating equipment, adhere to the localization of my country's high-end copper foil production equipment and ultra-precision vacuum coating, break overseas technical barriers, and enhance the independent control of the supply chain industry chain. It is committed to becoming a "world- manufacturer of new energy high-end equipment" and providing global customers with one-stop overall solutions for planning, design, manufacturing and continuous upgrading of software and hardware systems.
