After more than 10 years of development, Tianpeng Power has become a leading company in the field of tool lithium battery in China.
In recent years, Tianpeng Power's sales to Stanley Patek have maintained rapid growth. From January to September 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, Tianpeng Power sold lithium batteries to Stanley Patek for about 6.95 million yuan, 53.92 million yuan, 125 million yuan and 194.5 million yuan respectively, accounting for about 0.70%, 5.59%, 8.64% and 10.44% of lithium battery business revenue in the corresponding period, respectively.
In addition, in August last year, Azure Lithium Core also announced that Tianpeng Power received and confirmed the German Bosch Group (BOSCH) order documents, and the two sides confirmed that the total supply of 18650 ternary cylindrical lithium batteries in 2022 was 87 million.
At present, the production line of Azure lithium-core lithium battery maintains 24-hour production in addition to maintenance. The company has an actual annual production capacity of nearly 400 million in 21 years, and is expected to have an annual production capacity of more than 700 million in 22 years. Based on this calculation, the order supply of Stanley Black and Bosch Group in 2022 will account for at least 29.57% of Tianpeng's estimated 2022 available capacity.

The project is planned to be built in two phases, with an investment of 2.35 billion yuan in the first phase. The project will be implemented by the company or its holding subsidiary newly established Huaian Tianpeng Lithium Energy Co., Ltd.
In addition, in the latest announcement, Azure Lithium Core said that Tianpeng Power Huaian Plant will release new production capacity in 2022, which will help alleviate the company's operating state that supply exceeds demand, and provide a strong guarantee for the implementation of this order.
