#Company news ·2026-05-22 10:40:58
In the era of global economic recovery under pressure and the spread of anti-globalization sentiment, Ruifeng Holdings, leveraging forward-looking layouts, capital empowerment, and technological innovation, focuses on core areas such as new energy batteries, separator coating, wire and cable, thermal conductive gel, flame-retardant paint, electronic packaging, and chip materials. It seizes the opportunity of industrial chain restructuring and steadily advances the implementation of its globalization strategy in stages.
The first stage (2002-2009)
Leverage overseas routes, establish channels, and solidify the foundation of international brands
In 2002, Ruifeng Holdings invested in the high-purity polymer materials industry in China, achieving an annual production and sales volume of 50,000 tons. At the same time, it represented international brands to deeply penetrate the Chinese market and leveraged resources from international manufacturers to establish overseas sales channels for its own products. In 2005, the company participated in the privatization investment of Korea Chemicals & Fibers Corporation (KC), a state-owned enterprise in South Korea, securing the exclusive distribution rights for KC's core products in China. Leveraging its global sales network, the company expanded into international markets and collaborated with KC to create the KCFF series of proprietary brands. Through models such as international sales representation and integration with overseas downstream enterprises, the company gradually completed its product export layout, laying a solid foundation for subsequent global expansion.
The second stage (2010-2020)
Capital empowerment, mergers and acquisitions integration to build a global industrial landscape
From 2010 to 2012, Ruifeng Holdings increased its equity investment in Korean chemical groups and achieved control. Seizing the opportunity, it proactively introduced core technical talents from Sumitomo Chemical and Showa Denko, establishing global brands KC Sumitomo and KC Showa. It inherited the original European and American channels of Japanese enterprises, achieving technological upgrading and expanding into global markets.
Over the past ten years, Ruifeng Holdings has been deeply involved in the new energy and communication industries in China, Japan, and South Korea, with overseas mergers and acquisitions, joint venture holdings, and equity investments as its core businesses. It has successively established joint ventures with Samsung Electronics and POSCO Chemicals to develop sapphire LEDs for mobile phones and lithium battery materials, invested in Korean CIS Chemicals and lithium battery material recycling enterprises, and jointly built a lithium battery material production base with Samsung SDI. In one fell swoop, it has become a strategic partner of global top enterprises such as Dow, 3M, Henkel, Huawei, Enjie, LG Chemicals, and Samsung.
Relying on the rapid development of China's new energy industry, Ruifeng Holdings has made in-depth layouts in leading enterprises across the entire industry chain, such as CATL and XPeng Motors. At the same time, it has supported the construction of domestic leading overseas bases, achieving global multi-point supply in Hungary, Spain, Malaysia, Sweden, and other countries. The dual headquarters and dual industrial base model in China and South Korea not only ensures the independent supply of core materials for China, breaks the "bottleneck" problem, but also effectively hedges the risks of international trade frictions, becoming a stabilizer for the global supply chain of Chinese new material enterprises.
The third stage (2021 to present)
Innovative model, asset-light strategy to explore new paths for overseas expansion
In recent years, the trend of Sino-US trade frictions and stricter scrutiny on overseas foreign investment has intensified, hindering traditional overseas mergers and acquisitions and holding patterns. As the most valuable CVC industry investor in China, Ruifeng Holdings adopts a model of "scientific research innovation + capital operation + industry incubation" to proactively plan for emerging industries and cutting-edge products in the next 10-20 years. Adhering to the logic of full-industry chain investment, it invests in high-quality enterprises and focuses on high-value cutting-edge product sectors such as artificial intelligence, GPUs, and robotics, opening up asset-light overseas expansion paths for minority shareholders' participation, technology internationalization licensing, overseas listing, and localized services.
In 2023, its subsidiary, Ruifeng Korea Capital, participated in the construction of the Malaysia base of Xingyuan Materials with a shareholding ratio of less than 25%, jointly with Japanese, Korean, and ASEAN capital. The aim is to build ASEAN's first lithium-ion battery wet separator and coated separator factory. Through the licensing of battery coating technology, the plan is to promote the project's listing in Singapore, empowering overseas local enterprises with capital and technology, and achieving risk diversification and mutual benefit.
Amidst the profound transformation of the global economic and trade landscape, Ruifeng Holdings' three-stage progressive overseas expansion strategy provides a new approach for Chinese new material and new energy enterprises to avoid geopolitical risks and steadily expand into the global market. It aids China's core basic material industry in deeply integrating into the global industrial, supply, and value chains, continuously injecting Chinese strength into the development of the global green energy and digital communication industries.
