Recently, a signing ceremony between Bozhon Precision Machinery and the Turkish lithium battery company JSNE (referred to as J.S) was grandly held simultaneously in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, and Suzhou, China. Attendees of the signing ceremony included Mr. Hani, the head of the China Science and Technology Products Exhibition Center (Istanbul), which facilitated the strategic cooperation between the two parties, Mr. HAMZA, the Director of the New Energy Department at J.S, Mr. Jiang Jian, the Vice President of Bozhon Precision Machinery, and the project-related responsible team.
The strategic cooperation initiated by both parties falls under the service model of “exporting complete sets of technology equipment through independent innovation.” J.S will purchase lithium battery production lines worth 800 million yuan from the company, mainly provided by Bozhon Precision Machinery, including comprehensive lithium battery production automation equipment and digital production line construction, as well as complete production equipment and technology for energy storage products.
This time, the full production line equipment provided by Bozhon Precision Machinery includes mixing and slurry making equipment, coating machines, roller presses, slitting machines, die-cutting machines, stacking machines, assembly lines, formation and grading equipment, and module pack lines, etc. It can realize the production of batteries from raw materials to finished products in one line. The products can be used in new energy buses and personal vehicles, marking the first lithium battery production line of a domestic brand in Turkey; meanwhile, the energy storage products are mainly used in power stations and as backup power sources. As the lithium battery production represents the advanced manufacturing industry, the completion and operation of this project will greatly promote the development of the lithium battery industry in Turkey, fill the industry gap, and promote the broader comprehensive use of clean energy.
According to relevant information, Turkey's unique geographical advantages and the changes in the geopolitical landscape of its surrounding regions in recent years have earned it the reputation of being an “energy hub” or “energy corridor” that connects the East and West. Therefore, Turkey is ambitiously committed to becoming one of the world's energy trading centers and battery manufacturing hubs that spans the Eurasian continent. As early as August 28, 2020, Mustafa Varank, the Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology, stated that Turkey plans to become a center for automobile battery production through investments in battery cells, battery modules, and battery packs. The country also hopes to become the largest in Europe and among the top five globally in the manufacturing of electric and autonomous vehicles by 2030.
At the "Ford Motor Company's Future Vision" meeting held at the Presidential Complex on March 16, 2021, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan further emphasized: "Our goal is to become a leader in Europe and one of the top five countries in the world in the production of electric and autonomous commercial vehicles within the next 10 years." Erdoğan also announced his determination to make Turkey one of the world's important battery manufacturing centers, encouraging such investments on one hand and developing local brands on the other, aiming to create a competitive atmosphere domestically. The government has provided various incentives to the private sector, making it the engine of national development.
Therefore, Turkey has elevated the cultivation of domestic battery manufacturing brands to its national strategy. The strategic cooperation between Bozhon Precision Machinery and the Turkish lithium battery company J.S is timely in this context.
Mr. Hani, the head of the China Science and Technology Products Exhibition Center (Istanbul), delivered a warm speech. He stated: "As a bridge for scientific and industrial exchange and cooperation between China and Turkey, the China Science and Technology Products Exhibition Center (Istanbul) is committed to promoting the development of Turkish industry, while providing platform services for the expansive development of Chinese enterprises under the 'Belt and Road' initiative. Today, I am delighted to witness the strategic cooperation between Bozhon Precision Machinery and J.S. I hope that both parties can take this opportunity to contribute their due strength to the joint promotion of the development of Turkey's new energy industry. At the same time, leveraging Turkey's superior global geographical position, Bozhon Precision Machinery can expand westward to Europe, northward to Central Asia and Russia, eastward to Arab countries, and southward to Mediterranean coastal countries, with great potential for success."
Mr. Jiang Jian, Vice President of Bozhon Precision Machinery, delivered an enthusiastic speech. He expressed, "I am very pleased and honored to witness this strategic cooperation with J.S, and I am very grateful for the active and comprehensive role played by the China Science and Technology Products Exhibition Center in facilitating this cooperation. As a professional brand that has been working in the field of industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing equipment, and digital factory R&D and manufacturing for twenty-one years, Bozhon Precision Machinery adheres to the concept of building a 'community with a shared future for mankind' along the 'Belt and Road' countries. We are very willing to contribute our professional strength to Turkey's new energy cause.
Following this, we will quickly form a dedicated team and send a close-knit service team to J.S in Turkey. We hope to provide comprehensive services in design, R&D, manufacturing, delivery, and after-sales for this project, aiming to make it a benchmark project in the overseas new energy field.
At the same time, we also bear a global vision and high aspirations, hoping to pave a path of harmony and win-win in Turkey, which is a critical point along the 'Belt and Road'. In the future, we aim to continuously extend our influence to enterprises in neighboring countries, thereby contributing China's independent technological innovation, system integration services, and open and inclusive strength to the world under the current globalized international trade environment impacted by various factors. This effort is to promote positive exchanges and mutual trust and complementarity in the world's science and technology and industrial fields and contribute China's strength.
