Chinese industry leader Senior opens first factory in Sweden
Shenzhen Senior Technology Material is a leading company in China’s battery separator film industry and a strategic supplier to the world’s top 10 lithium-ion battery manufacturers. As a global player, the company decides to be as close as possible to its European customers and business partners. Their Düsseldorf office, opened in 2018, was a first step in this direction. Now this Chinese company opened its first factory for battery separator film production in Europe, located at Eskilstuna, Sweden.
"Many European countries have announced to convert from combustion engines to electric vehicles over the next years. We want to seize the opportunity and the factory in Sweden is an important milestone to serving all our EU partners“, said SENIOR’s European Representative Kevin Zhu during the ceremonial opening.
The large-scale manufacturing plant will be equipped with high-automated production lines of both, wet process base film and coating. In harmony with Senior’s far-reaching environmental commitments, the factory's energy supply is based entirely on CO2-neutral hydropower. And the location near Sweden’s capital Stockholm has the logistical advantage of best transport connections and short distances.
Senior and Brückner Maschinenbau are successful cooperation partners in the field of battery separator film production since many years. Senior is already running a large number of Brückner lines, among them the most powerful battery separator lines worldwide. 8 of these lines are located in one of the most sophisticated factories in China, Changzhou . On some of them the films which will be coated in Eskilstuna in the future have been produced. Further Brückner lines for battery separator film production at the new Eskilstuna location have already been ordered for the planned expansion of the plant.
Reinhard Priller, Sales Director Brückner Maschinenbau says: „We are sure that Senior’s current investment in Sweden will guarantee them a major role in Europe’s future electric vehicle revolution. We are really proud of our long-lasting partnership with such a far-sighted player and we are looking forward to new exciting projects – of course also for Senior’s European site.”
用于欧洲电池生产的高性能隔膜
中国行业领导者星源材质在瑞典开设第一家工厂
深圳星源材质是中国电池隔膜行业的龙头企业之一，也是全球十大锂离子电池制造商的战略供应商。作为一家全球企业，该公司决定尽可能贴近其欧洲客户和业务合作伙伴。他们于 2018 年开设在杜塞尔多夫的办事处是朝着这个方向迈出的第一步。现在，这家中国公司在位于瑞典的埃斯基尔斯蒂纳设立了其第一个欧洲电池隔膜生产工厂。
“许多欧洲国家已经宣布在未来几年内从内燃机转向电动汽车。我们希望抓住这个机会，而在瑞典的工厂是为我们所有欧盟合作伙伴服务的重要里程碑” ，星源公司的欧洲代表朱继俊在开幕式上这样说。
此大型制造工厂将配备生产湿法基膜和隔膜涂布的高自动化生产线。该工厂的能源供应完全基于二氧化碳中和的水力发电，这与星源材质具有影响深远的环境承诺相一致。而且，靠近瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩的位置具有最佳交通连接和短距离的物流优势。
星源材质和布鲁克纳是多年以来在电池隔膜生产领域的成功合作伙伴。星源材质已经在运行许多布鲁克纳生产线，其中包括全球最强大生产力的电池隔膜生产线。其中一些线已经在生产未来将在埃斯基尔斯蒂纳进行涂布的隔膜基膜。布鲁克纳在埃斯基尔斯蒂纳的新工厂已经订购了更多用于电池隔膜生产的生产线，用于计划扩建的工厂。
布鲁克纳销售总监裴瑞乐先生说：“我们确信，星源材质目前在瑞典的投资将确保他们未来在欧洲的电动汽车革新中发挥重要作用。我们为能与这样一家有远见的厂家进行长期合作而深感自豪，我们期待着新的，令人兴奋的项目 — 当然也包括星源材质在欧洲的工厂。”
