Overview
Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology Co., Ltd. is described in the supplied evidence as a company engaged in the research and development, production, and sale of new chemical materials. The available evidence does not specify its founding, headquarters, ownership, executives, operating markets, or individual products. Further verified information is needed for a fuller company profile. Tinci Materials, formally Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology Co., Ltd., is a Chinese materials company founded by Xu Jinfu in 2000. The company originated in cosmetics-related materials and fine chemicals, while its most prominent business has become the research, development, and manufacture of lithium-ion battery electrolytes and related battery materials. It also produces specialty chemicals for industrial and consumer applications. The company entered the lithium battery electrolyte industry in 2002, establishing a long-term strategic direction that later connected it to the expansion of electric vehicles, energy-storage systems, and rechargeable-battery manufacturing. Its business is centered on formulation and production capabilities for electrolyte products, as well as upstream and adjacent battery-material categories. The reference material identifies lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium-iron phosphate materials among its production capacities, alongside electrolytes. Tinci became a supplier to Procter & Gamble in 2011, an important development demonstrating that its materials business served a major multinational consumer-products company before the company’s public listing. On January 23, 2014, Tinci Materials was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under ticker 002709.SZ. The company has also pursued international manufacturing and supply relationships. In March 2021, it formed a partnership with Lanxess under which Tinci’s electrolyte formulations were expected to be produced at a Lanxess plant in Leverkusen, Germany, beginning in 2022. In May 2021, it signed a supply agreement with CATL, linking Tinci to one of the world’s major battery-cell manufacturers. These arrangements illustrate a strategy combining proprietary or specialized material formulations with regional production partnerships and customer-specific supply relationships. In 2023, Tinci announced that it would discontinue its electrolyte project in the Czech Republic and relocate the planned production facilities to Casablanca, Morocco. The announced investment was 1.99 billion yuan, with completion targeted for 2025. The cited production-capacity figures were 150,000 tonnes per year for electrolytes, 100,000 tonnes for lithium hexafluorophosphate, and 50,000 tonnes for lithium-iron phosphate materials. These figures describe announced capacity rather than necessarily realized output. Tinci Materials is therefore positioned primarily as a business-to-business chemical and battery-materials supplier rather than a consumer-facing brand. Its identity is associated with electrolyte technology, battery-material scale-up, fine-chemical research and development, and cooperation with international chemical and battery-industry partners. Publicly available reference material provides limited detail about its current executive team, geographic headquarters, consumer-facing brand architecture, and post-2023 operating results.
History
The supplied evidence identifies Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology Co., Ltd. as a company engaged in the research and development, production, and sale of new chemical materials. It does not provide historical details such as the company's founding date, founders, product launches, facilities, ownership changes, or expansions. Those events are therefore not described here. Tinci Materials was founded in 2000 by Xu Jinfu as a Chinese fine-chemical and materials company. Its activities were associated with cosmetics materials and the research and production of new fine chemicals. In 2002, the company entered the lithium battery electrolyte industry, a move that became central to its later identity and growth strategy. The company’s materials portfolio developed around business-to-business chemical applications rather than consumer products. Electrolytes became its principal area of specialization, supported by related battery-material production and fine-chemical capabilities. In 2011, Tinci became a supplier to Procter & Gamble, providing evidence of commercial engagement with a major international consumer-products company. Tinci Materials completed its public-market transition on January 23, 2014, when it was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under ticker 002709.SZ. Its subsequent development was closely connected with the expansion of lithium-ion battery manufacturing and the need for larger, geographically distributed supplies of electrolyte and related materials. In March 2021, Tinci formed a partnership with Lanxess. Under the arrangement described in the available reference material, Tinci electrolyte formulations were expected to be produced at a Lanxess facility in Leverkusen, Germany, beginning in 2022. In May of the same year, Tinci signed a supply agreement with CATL. Together, these developments reflected two dimensions of the company’s battery-materials strategy: cooperation with a large international chemicals company on production and a supply relationship with a major battery manufacturer. In 2023, Tinci announced a change to its European expansion plans. It said that the electrolyte project in the Czech Republic would be discontinued and that the planned production facilities would instead be relocated to Casablanca, Morocco. The announced investment totaled 1.99 billion yuan, and completion was targeted for 2025. The reference material associated with this plan cites annual capacity of 150,000 tonnes of electrolytes, 100,000 tonnes of lithium hexafluorophosphate, and 50,000 tonnes of lithium-iron phosphate materials. The available historical record presents Tinci Materials as a specialist industrial supplier whose development moved from broader fine chemicals and cosmetics materials toward large-scale battery-electrolyte and battery-material production. Its major documented turning points are entry into electrolytes in 2002, supply cooperation with Procter & Gamble in 2011, the 2014 Shenzhen listing, international partnerships in 2021, and the 2023 decision to revise the location of a planned overseas project. Details about the company’s complete product catalog, current management, realized production volumes, and current corporate structure are not established by the supplied sources.
