The United States New Energy and Polymer Materials Project has a total investment of RMB 10 billion, aiming to establish a circular industrial chain spanning “sulfur–sulfuric acid–color masterbatch–new energy materials.”
The United States New Energy and Polymer Materials Project has a total investment of RMB 10 billion, aiming to establish a circular industrial chain spanning “sulfur–sulfuric acid–color masterbatch–new energy materials.” The first phase, with an investment of RMB 3 billion, will build facilities for producing 800,000 tonnes of sulfuric acid, 600,000 tonnes of ferrous sulfate, 300,000 tonnes of color masterbatch, and 100,000 tonnes of polyferric sulfate, with an anticipated annual output value of RMB 5 billion. Currently, 90% of the pile foundation work has been completed, more than half of the main plant building is under construction, and key equipment has already been delivered and installed. The project is scheduled for topping out of the main structure in July and for completion and trial production in December. Located adjacent to the Puguang Gas Field, the project can source sulfur and natural gas locally, significantly reducing raw material and energy costs. Upon completion, it will become the world’s largest color masterbatch production base, while also meeting the sulfuric acid needs of the surrounding lithium-ion battery and phosphate chemical industries, thereby strengthening the region’s capacity for on-site conversion of local sulfur resources.

On March 27, 2026, Inner Mongolia Fulin Shidai New Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Fulin Precision Industry, commenced construction on its 500,000-ton-per-year high-end lithium iron phosphate project for energy storage immediately after acquiring the land. Located in the Zero-Carbon Industrial Park of the Mongolian-Soviet Economic Development Zone in Ordos, the project represents a total investment of RMB 6 billion and spans over 567 mu. It will include production facilities such as grinding and kiln systems, along with intelligent supporting infrastructure, with a primary focus on developing new high-voltage, high-density lithium iron phosphate products. The project will be implemented in two phases, each featuring a 250,000-ton production line. Upon commissioning, the project is expected to generate an annual output value of RMB 17.5 billion and annual profits and taxes exceeding RMB 100 million, while creating more than 600 jobs and helping to extend and strengthen the regional lithium-ion battery industry chain. Fulin Shidai was established in January this year and, following a capital increase completed in March, now has a registered capital of RMB 1.005 billion, with Jiangxi Shenghua holding a 77.6119% stake and serving as the controlling shareholder. The commencement of this project aligns with the growing demand in the new-energy vehicle and energy-storage markets for high-performance lithium iron phosphate batteries, accelerates the deployment of high-end production capacity, further enhances the company’s footprint in the lithium-ion battery cathode-material sector, and supports the upgrading of the regional new-energy industry.
