科达利上半年营收6.87亿元 加深与CATL/特斯拉/LG/松下合作

It is understood that Kodali is a lithium battery precision structural parts and automotive structural parts research and development and manufacturing enterprises, the products are mainly divided into lithium battery precision structural parts, automotive structural parts two categories, widely used in automobiles and new energy vehicles, portable communications and electronic products, power tools, energy storage power stations and many other industries.

Kodali said that the global economic downturn was caused by the global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in the first half of 2020, and the automobile industry as a whole was greatly affected. Among them, the production and marketing of new energy vehicles completed 397000 and 393000 respectively, down 36.5% and 37.4% respectively from the same period last year. The decline in production and sales of new energy vehicles directly led to a reduction in demand for power lithium battery installation, and the market demand for power lithium battery structure parts also declined.

During the reporting period, based on the current global economic and industry situation, Kodali controlled the market trend and actively took corresponding measures to strengthen the domestic and foreign market development of new energy vehicle power lithium battery structures. relying on the company's advanced technology level, high-quality production capacity, efficient R & D and supply system, excellent product quality and other advantages in the new energy vehicle power battery structure industry, Seize the favorable opportunity of the sustained and rapid development of new energy vehicles, consolidate and expand the market share of the company's products.

In the first half of this year, on the one hand, Kodali deepened the cooperation with existing customers CATL, LG, Panasonic, Tesla, BYD, AVIC Lithium, Yiwei Lithium, Xinwanda, Lishen, Honeycomb Energy, Foggia, GAC GROUP, etc., to do a good job of customer service and ensure the long-term strategic cooperation between customers and the company. On the other hand, it continues to expand its overseas market by signing an exclusive supply contract with Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt for the annual supply of square lithium-ion battery shells for 40Gwh.

Kodali said that with the increase in the concentration of the company's downstream customer market and the continuous expansion of the company's overseas markets, it will further enhance the company's sustainable profitability and market competitiveness, and enhance the company's leading position in the global power lithium battery structure industry.

"2020 (second) China Automotive New Materials Application Summit Forum"

It was solemnly held in Shanghai from September 17 to 18.

During the reform period of the "four modernizations of the automobile", intelligent network connection, new energy, lightweight and intelligent manufacturing entered the field of the automobile industry, and the automobile era was reinterpreted. The surging changes require the industry to continue to integrate and innovate, and quickly promote the development rate of automobile enterprises. With the emergence of self-driving and intelligent cars, Internet companies, which are not active in the automotive field, have more opportunities to show their talents; the double points policy is becoming an important driving force for the development of China's new energy vehicle industry; in the face of environmental constraints, car companies speed up the application of advanced lightweight components and technologies to achieve vehicle weight loss. With the continuous promotion of the strategies of "Industrial 4.0" and "made in China 2025", intelligent manufacturing has become a new challenge of upgrading and transformation.

Under the guidance of the Shanghai Economic and Informatization Commission and the Shanghai Federation of Industrial economy, in order to accelerate the application of automobile lightweight and product lines, the Shanghai Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, together with Shanghai Automotive Engineering Society, Suzhou Die casting Technology Association and SMM, jointly held the "2020 (second) China Automotive New Materials Application Summit Forum". Jointly discuss material solutions, co-casting automobile industry chain green development closed loop, and strive to build an excellent communication and cooperation platform for the whole automobile industry chain, and lead the creation of advanced automobile industry clusters.

[August Lithium Hydroxide Imports and Exports Both Decline, Net Imports Narrow]
According to China Customs data, in August 2026, China's lithium hydroxide imports amounted to 5,115.17 tonnes, down 38.5% month-on-month from 8,322.16 tonnes in July; exports amounted to 4,789.36 tonnes, down 25.4% month-on-month from 6,419.51 tonnes in July. Lithium hydroxide remained in net import that month, with net imports of about 325.81 tonnes, markedly narrowing from 1,902.65 tonnes in July. On the import side, Indonesia remained the main source in August. China imported 2,592.19 tonnes from Indonesia, accounting for 50.7% of total imports, but this was down 41.7% month-on-month from 4,444.37 tonnes in July; the impact of the concentrated arrival of previously accumulated cargo has clearly faded. Imports from South Korea were 1,058.42 tonnes, accounting for 20.7%; imports from Australia were 524.43 tonnes; imports from China's domestic bonded customs supervision areas were 514.12 tonnes; imports from Germany were 420.00 tonnes, up 42.4% month-on-month, making it one of the few sources to increase month-on-month that month. On the export side, in August China still mainly exported lithium hydroxide to South Korea and Japan. Exports to South Korea were 3,142.11 tonnes, accounting for 65.6% of total exports, down 34.3% month-on-month; exports to Japan were 1,087.45 tonnes, accounting for 22.7%, down 16.6% month-on-month; exports to Poland were 360.04 tonnes, making it a newly emerging major export destination that month. Other export destinations included India (59 tonnes), Singapore (40 tonnes), Turkey (23 tonnes), and the Netherlands (20 tonnes), etc., with relatively small volumes.

[SMM Flash] Sulphuric acid prices in some regions dropping below 1,000 yuan/mt
Since 10 July, SMM Chinese sulfuric acid price index from Copper smelters has declined for 11 consecutive weeks on a weekly basis. This weekend, sulphuric acid prices were further reduced in some regions, with the ex-works price of 98% smelting acid falling below 1,000 yuan/mt. However, demand from the fertiliser industry has yet to show any clear improvement, and there are no signs that exports of sulphuric acid and phosphate fertiliser can be restarted, leaving the market dominated by a strong wait-and-see sentiment.

In August 2026, China's imports of cobalt hydrometallurgical intermediate products totaled approximately 7,876 physical tonnes, down 51% MoM but up 50% YoY. Of this, imports from the DRC were about 7,774 physical tonnes, down 51% MoM and up 62% YoY. The average import price of cobalt hydrometallurgical intermediate products in August 2026 was $15,495 per physical tonne, down 13.51% MoM. Of the intermediate products imported from the DRC this month, around 3,682 physical tonnes entered Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces as logistics goods under special customs supervision (bonded logistics), accounting for 46.8% of China's total imports; general trade accounted for about 3,913 physical tonnes, or 49.7%; and processing trade with imported materials accounted for about 179 physical tonnes, or 2.3%. In addition, China imported a combined 101 physical tonnes of intermediate products from South Africa, Vietnam, and Zambia via general trade this month. The decline in imports this month was mainly driven by two factors. First, typhoons in August forced port closures, delaying some cargoes originally scheduled to arrive in August into September. Second, cobalt salt prices kept falling through August, weakening smelters' willingness to purchase raw materials; miners struggled to conclude new tenders, and some chose to keep cargoes in storage in other overseas regions, waiting for demand to recover before shipping. From January to August 2026, China's cumulative imports of cobalt hydrometallurgical intermediate products reached 44,792 physical tonnes, down 84% YoY.
