According to a report from Sinochem New Network, recently Fangda Carbon New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Fangda Carbon) issued a statement indicating its intention to apply to participate in the recruitment process for investors interested in the substantive merger and restructuring of Shanshan Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shanshan Group) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ningbo Pengze Trade Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ningbo Pengze). The announcement stated that as of February 25, Shanshan Group and Ningbo Pengze together held 526 million shares of the listed company Ningbo Shanshan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shanshan Shares), accounting for 23.32% of the total share capital of Shanshan Shares. If Fangda Carbon enters the market, it will not only inject strong industrial momentum into the debt resolution and business restructuring of the Shanshan Group, but it is also likely to reshape the competitive landscape between the two parties in the field of new energy materials, helping to turn the concept of a dual-business model based on carbon and new energy materials from a strategic idea into a reality in the industry. Affected by various factors such as macroeconomic cycle fluctuations, changes in downstream demand, and intensifying industry competition, the growth of Fangda Carbon’s traditional business is under pressure. Amidst the overall stability in performance, actively pursuing the field of new energy materials as a second growth driver has become an inevitable choice for Fangda Carbon to overcome development bottlenecks and achieve long-term strategic progress. Previously, Fangda Carbon had entered into a strategic partnership with CATL to jointly develop lithium battery anode materials and solid-state battery electrolytes. By successfully integrating the production capacity and market resources of Shanshan Co., Fangda Carbon will be able to adopt a two-pronged approach in the field of new energy materials, combining research and development collaboration with capacity integration. This will further enhance the synergies across the entire industrial chain, with the company’s core competitiveness set to improve significantly.
