The company specializes in manufacturing gearboxes, particularly for wind power applications, and was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Growth Enterprise Market in 2023 with the stock code 300,904 [4][6]. Industry and Market Dynamics - The company is expanding from its traditional gearbox business into the gearbox market, specifically targeting the growing demand for speed increasers due to strategic shifts in the wind power sector, particularly influenced by 金风科技 [2][7]. - The domestic market for speed increasers has a demand gap of approximately 18,000 units, with an expected demand of 12,000 to 13,000 units in 2025 [10][11]. Investment Plans - 威力传动 plans to invest a total of 5 billion yuan in the speed increaser business, with an initial phase investment of 2 billion yuan expected to be completed by the end of 2025, achieving a production capacity of 1,500 units [2][5]. - The second phase will involve an investment of 3 billion yuan, aiming for a total capacity of 4,000 units by 2028 [2][5]. Production and Sales Forecast - In 2025, the company anticipates producing 300 speed increasers, ramping up to 1,500 units by year-end, and plans to produce between 1,000 to 1,200 units in 2026 [8][12]. - The sales revenue from the gearbox business is projected to reach 600 to 700 million yuan in 2025, potentially increasing to 800 to 1 billion yuan when including 中兴's contributions, marking a two to threefold increase compared to 2024 [3][21]. Competitive Landscape - The speed increaser market is competitive, with 南高齿 as the largest supplier (6,000 to 8,000 units), followed by 德力佳 (2,500 to 2,800 units). 威力传动 aims to become the third-largest supplier with a target of 1,500 units [9][12].

Profitability Expectations - The company aims to gradually increase its self-manufactured component ratio to enhance gross and net profit margins. Initial gross margin targets are set at around 20%, with net margin goals of approximately 10% [14][16]. - The company expects to achieve double-digit net profit margins in the future, with a gradual increase in gross margins from initial levels to potentially over 20% [16]. Future Developments - The second phase of the factory will share infrastructure with the first phase, allowing for a lower investment requirement and faster ramp-up of production capacity [17][18]. - The company plans to increase the number of experimental platforms to enhance technical efficiency and support future production needs [28]. Conclusion - 威力传动 is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for speed increasers in the wind power sector, backed by significant investments and a focus on quality and innovation.
