Yancheng Mayor Zhou Bin visited KOTA Technology and fully supported its investment and development in Yancheng

According to the unified deployment and arrangement of the Municipal Party Committee, on February 16, Yancheng Mayor Zhou Bin visited KOTA Technology, a key enterprise in Dafeng District, and led a team to carry out a "big visit" activity. Liu Guangqiu, Secretary General of the Municipal Government, and responsible comrades from relevant municipal departments accompanied him.

　　Entering the workshop, listening to the situation, asking for demands, and gaining in-depth understanding of the product development plan and the construction progress of the new project "New Energy Lithium Battery Copper Foil High-end Complete Equipment Manufacturing Project" from the person in charge of the Dafeng Factory of the enterprise, he encouraged KOTA Technology to give full play to its role as the backbone of the industry chain. He stressed the need to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, further improve the awareness of enterprises on policies such as the "Provincial 42 Articles" and the "Municipal 56 Articles", and ensure that various policies are accurately delivered to enterprises.

　　Mayor Zhou listened carefully to the company's introduction, industrial layout, product research and development, scientific research equipment, order sales, etc., inspected the production and operation status on the spot, and presented the company with the "Yancheng City to Promote the Overall Improvement of Economic Operation Policy Measures Service Guide". The mayor pointed out that in recent years, Yancheng's power batteries, new energy vehicles and other industries have emerged as a new force, the way, accumulating strength and bursting out, and there is much to do. He hopes that KOTA Technology will continue to increase its investment in Yan. Seize the opportunity of industrial development, strengthen the analysis and judgment of market changes, welcome the new and move forward, take advantage of the situation, strive to become a enterprise, an aircraft carrier enterprise, and a enterprise, and move towards the high end of the industrial chain value chain. He fully affirmed KOTA Technology's continued increase in R&D investment, and urged the company to accelerate the construction of a market-oriented technology innovation system with deep integration of industry, academia and research, strengthen the integration and embrace of talents, technology, industry and capital, and jointly overcome the "stuck neck" difficulties in the field of lithium battery copper foil. In response to the practical problems such as the surge in labor demand and energy consumption encountered by KOTA Technology in the process of rapid expansion of production capacity, Mayor Zhou asked the relevant parties to speed up the research and development of solutions and effectively assist in solving them.

　　Mayor Zhou emphasized in this investigation that this year is the year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and the starting year for the construction of a green and low-carbon development demonstration zone, shouldering new missions and meeting new challenges. Strategic emerging industries are an important force future development and the key to promoting the continuous transformation of new and old kinetic energy. The "5+2" strategic emerging industries "5" refers to the vigorous development of new energy vehicles and core components, new energy, new generation information technology, new materials, and health. KOTA Technology's core product, the lithium battery foil machine, is a supporting equipment for the production of core components in the new energy vehicle industry, and is one of the national strategic emerging industries fully supported by the government.

　　At present, my country has become the world's largest new energy vehicle market. In addition, from a global perspective, Europe and the United States lag behind China in terms of electrification transformation. Once the process accelerates, a large market space will emerge, and Europe and the United States will become the battlegrounds of the new energy market.

　　Therefore, as the core components of new energy vehicles, the demand for power lithium batteries and their supporting components, lithium battery copper foil, has ushered in explosive growth. The key to cultivating the industrial chain is the. In the new track of new energy, Yancheng saw the trend early and started quickly. A number of companies in the new energy industry, such as KOTA Technology, SK, BYD, and Honeycomb, have set up their layouts in Yancheng, driving the power battery industry cluster to "fully activate". As a well-known port city at home and abroad, Yancheng has resource endowments such as ports, land, logistics, and talents. It is uniquely positioned to develop a new energy industry chain, attracting a large number of billion-level major high-quality projects, including KOTA Technology, to invest in Yancheng. At the end of the investigation, Mayor Zhou hoped that KOTA Technology would take advantage of the industrial cluster advantages of new energy in the Yancheng area and strive to build a modern new energy lithium battery copper foil high-end complete equipment manufacturing base with a complete chain, distinctive characteristics, and outstanding advantages.
