Now, however, Ningde should have Panasonic, Samsung SDI, and LG Chem, the Big Three makers of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, running scared.
"For seven years, Ningde has been home to the sprawling headquarters of Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd 宁德新能源科技有限公司 [1999- ; founder 梁少康; private; headquartered in Hong Kong], or CATL, which has quickly become China's EV battery leader and is setting its sights on the rest of the world. On the landfilled mudflats across a lake from its main campus, the company is building a $1.3 billion battery production complex that will be second in size to Tesla's massive Gigafactory in Sparks [which is eastern neighbor of Reno], Nev, enabling enabling it to outstrip the capacity of other suppliers. CATL plans to finance construction partly by going public as soon as this year.
* Press release: Samsung SDI to Announce Its Vision and Goals. Samsung SDI, Dec 01, 1999 http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=392
("The new name, [Samsung SDI] stands for Samsung with the initial letter S, 'Display' and 'Digital' with D and 'Interface' and 'Internet Component' with I. The new name is representing the image of the company actively involved in highly advanced Internet component-related areas such as digital, display and secondary battery businesses, core businesses in the 21st century" (brackets original) ) 作者: choi 时间: 2-16-2018 13:16
