"At present, the construction of our joint factory first and second phases of water treatment is being carried out in an orderly manner, striving to fully complete and put into production in the third quarter. By then, the enterprise's production capacity of will reach 30,000 tons, which can further meet market demand." Recently, Pan Jianfeng, chairman and general manager of Zhejiang Garden New Energy Company, said that Garden New Energy Company integrates R&D, production and sales. It is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the manufacturing of high-performance copper foil . The company's products can provide key materials for new energy vehicle and 5G communication.
Last year, Zhejiang Garden New Energy Company's production and sales volume increased by year-on-year to by 179%, and its revenue increased by 299% year-on-year, creating a gratifying situation of both production and sales and supply in short supply. When I walked into the company's production workshop, I saw that all kinds of machinery and equipment were operating efficiently, and the employees were "fully armed" and were busy at work. After multiple processes of production inspection, boxes of high-performance copper foil products were finally sent to various places by packaging trucks. In less than three years of production, why has Garden New Energy Company developed so quickly?

Since Zhejiang Province expanded its effective investment and started construction in April 2018, Huayuan New Energy Co., Ltd. has designed and built high-standard construction at a high starting point. It took only 16 months to complete factory planning and construction, equipment import and installation, talent introduction and training, technology research and development improvement, and trial production, etc., and built a piece of vacant land into a modern high-tech enterprise, once again refreshing the "garden speed".
On August 18, 2019, the first phase of Huayuan New Energy Company was completed and put into production, filling the gap in the high-performance copper foil manufacturing industry in Zhejiang Province, and forming an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of copper foil for lithium batteries and 10,000 tons of copper foil for electronic circuits. Soon, Garden New Energy Company's 6-micron lithium battery copper foil product was successfully trial production, and its development cycle set a new record in the domestic industry, marking that the company officially entered the ranks of only a handful of 6-micron lithium battery copper foil manufacturers in the world. It also successfully passed the IATF16949:2016 quality management system certification , and lithium battery copper foil products entered the international automobile market.
For more than two years, Garden New Energy Company has been booming in production and sales, and has lined up with various orders. The workshop has continued to achieve full-load production, with strong development momentum and broad development prospects. The company's revenue scale has reached 1 billion yuan. Today, Garden New Energy Company has successfully developed 4.5 micron lithium battery copper foil and achieved mass production, attracting leading companies such as Shengyi Technology , Guoxuan Hi-Tech , Zhongchuang Airlines, Huazheng New Materials, and Lianmao Electronics to establish friendly and long-term cooperative relationships with the company.
Marriage Zhejiang University Enhances core competitiveness
Not long ago, Zhejiang Garden New Energy Company and Zhejiang University collaborative research results "Copper Foil Performance Stability Experimental Results" were published in the internationally renowned journal "Journal of Applied Electrochemistry" (Journal of Applied Electrochemistry). Previously, the two parties studied the joint action mechanism of additives in electrolytic copper foil and its impact on the performance of copper foil. They found that when the two additives work together, the stability of copper foil performance can be maintained within a larger concentration range, significantly broadening the production process window of electrolytic copper foil.
