Due to the large proportion of 4.5 micron and 6 micron copper foil produced by the company, the overall gross profit margin and net profit margin of the company are ahead of the industry.
The supply of extremely thin copper foil is in short supply, and the prosperity of lithium battery copper foil industry is not decreasing. Lithium battery copper foil technology is updated and iterated rapidly. However, affected by high capital and technical barriers, the penetration rate of extremely thin copper foil is still low. Only a few leading copper foil enterprises in China master 4.5 micron copper foil technology. At present, major lithium battery manufacturers led by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) are actively switching to 4.5 micron lithium battery copper foil. In the future, the supply of extremely thin copper foil will be in short supply Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) is the company's largest customer. With the continuous updating and iteration of power batteries, copper foil lightweight has become an inevitable trend. When Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) switches to ultra-thin and extremely thin copper foil, Guangdong Jiayuan Technology Co.Ltd(688388) timely innovates technology to meet customer needs.
