PRET(SZ:002324) DT新材料·2025-06-30 15:34Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the investment and expansion plans of Prit in the field of modified plastics and new materials, particularly focusing on the establishment of a headquarters and R&D manufacturing base in Guangzhou's Nansha District, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan and an expected annual production capacity of 400,000 tons [2][3]. Group 1: Investment and Expansion Plans - Prit signed an investment cooperation agreement to build a headquarters and R&D manufacturing base in Nansha District, Guangzhou, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan [2]. - The project will be constructed in two phases, with the first phase focusing on automotive modified plastic products and the second phase targeting high-end new materials for emerging fields such as low-altitude economy and humanoid robots [2][3]. Group 2: Production Capacity and Facilities - Prit currently has 11 new material production bases globally, with 5 under construction, expected to reach an annual production capacity of 710,000 tons, including 480,000 tons for modified materials [3]. - New facilities include a Tianjin plant (expected to be operational by the end of 2025 with an additional capacity of 150,000 tons/year), a Wuhan plant (set to start production in September 2024), and a Thailand plant (scheduled for April 2025, focusing on high-performance modified materials) [3]. Group 3: Focus on Special Materials - In the special materials sector, Prit has a production capacity of 4,000 tons/year for LCP resin polymerization, 5,000 tons/year for LCP blending modification, and 3 million square meters/year for LCP films [4]. - The company is strategically positioning itself in emerging markets such as robotics and low-altitude flight, focusing on special engineering materials and carbon fiber composites [4]. Group 4: Applications in Emerging Fields - The new materials in the second phase, including PEEK, PPS, LCP, and carbon fiber reinforced materials, have significant application potential in humanoid robots [3][4]. - Prit is actively collaborating with downstream customers for product validation, with some products already in small-scale supply [4]. Group 5: Competitive Landscape - Other modified plastic companies, such as Jinfat Technology, are also entering the humanoid robot sector, providing material solutions for various components [5]. - The article highlights the importance of materials like PEEK, PPS, LCP, and carbon fiber reinforced materials in the construction of robotic joints, gears, and other critical components [6]. Group 6: Future Development Strategy - By 2025, Prit plans to implement a dual-track development strategy in the new materials sector, optimizing product structure and increasing R&D efforts to meet the demands of emerging fields such as new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, and robotics [10]. - The company aims to accelerate the development and market promotion of high-performance materials like LCP for applications in 5G communication and electronics [10].
