Jinchuan Group Nickel Capital Industrial Co., Ltd. has announced a major milestone: its High-Precision Copper Strip Division has officially been approved as a qualified supplier to BYD Company Limited following a rigorous qualification and quality assessment process.
This achievement marks strong recognition of Jinchuan Group’s technological capabilities and quality management systems in high-end copper processing by a leading player in the global new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. As a key enterprise in China’s copper processing sector, the company has long focused on the R&D and production of high-precision copper strip products. Entry into BYD’s supply chain lays a solid foundation for further expansion into the NEV industry.
BYD, a global leader in electric vehicles and power batteries, enforces strict supplier entry standards. Its quality management team recently conducted a comprehensive audit of Jinchuan’s copper strip operations through professional interviews and on-site inspections. The evaluation covered manufacturing processes, testing capabilities, and supply chain systems, with particular focus on plant management, quality assurance, environmental compliance, and corporate responsibility, as well as the technical reliability and innovation of key materials.
Jinchuan’s high-precision copper strip division has made notable breakthroughs in advanced copper-based materials, including the industrialization of TU0 roughened rolled copper strip for EV batteries and C192 alloy strip for semiconductor packaging applications. The innovative roughened copper strip, used as a core material for battery anode connectors, significantly improves battery yield and safety, reducing long-term reliance on imports.
These products are now widely applied in key sectors such as 5G communications and new energy vehicles, earning certification from leading industry players and marking a successful transition from R&D to large-scale commercialization.
Moving forward, Jinchuan will leverage this partnership as a new starting point, continuing to pursue specialization and precision manufacturing. The company plans to increase R&D investment, optimize production capacity, and deliver higher-quality copper strip products to strategic customers such as BYD, contributing to the high-quality development of the NEV supply chain.
Industry experts note that amid rapid growth in the NEV sector, demand for high-performance copper materials—essential for batteries, motors, and other core components—continues to rise. Jinchuan’s successful entry into BYD’s supply chain not only creates new growth opportunities for the company but also supports the localization and supply security of critical materials in China’s NEV industry.
