On March 6, the Hefei Xinzhan High-tech Industrial Development Zone signed an agreement with Sichuan Aoniu New Material Co., Ltd. for a polyimide electronic specialty film production line project. The total investment in the project amounts to 1 billion yuan. The first phase, with an investment of 500 million yuan, will be located in a high-end optical film production base and will establish a transparent polyimide film (CPI) production line, achieving an annual output of 600,000 square meters upon completion. The second phase, also involving a 500 million yuan investment, plans to construct a slurry production line and expand the film-forming line, aiming for an annual output of 3 million square meters after completion.

Sichuan Aoniu New Material Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the manufacturing and research and development of new film materials. Since its establishment in 2022, the company has engaged in deep industry-university-research collaboration with the Polymer Science College of Sichuan University. Leveraging its excellent R&D team and advanced production processes, the company is growing into one of China's leading transparent polyimide film (CPI) manufacturers.

As the core area for Hefei's new materials industry, the Hefei Xinzhan High-tech Zone has already attracted a cluster of film material companies, including Xinmei Materials, Xiandao Films, Changyang Technology, Lucky Technology, Sanlipo, and Hongdao New Materials. It has also formed a polyimide industrial cluster encompassing Guofeng New Materials, Qicai, Dingcai, and Hengkun New Materials. The zone is accelerating the construction of a comprehensive industrial chain support system covering "PI raw materials - midstream manufacturing - downstream application support," striving to become a significant national hub for the new materials industry.
