SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry.

SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry. This system employs a rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive methodology to evaluate companies across various segments of the new energy sector, aiming to set benchmarks for excellence in the industry.

The new energy industry is rapidly evolving, yet market information is fragmented, corporate strength is difficult to quantify, and supply chain credibility is questionable. SMM Tier 1, with "transparent methodology + independent audit" at its core, establishes "globally comparable" industry benchmarks for segments such as ESS, sodium-ion battery, and lithium battery materials, facilitating precise capital decision-making, efficient industry collaboration, and the manifestation of technological value.

After extensive field trips to assess companies' basic data, such as capacity layout, production scale, order delivery (directly sourced from SMM's industry database), and technical investment, and introducing third-party institutions (such as Dun & Bradstreet, SGS, etc.) to verify data authenticity, ensuring the list is "zero inflated," SMM selected the "2025 SMM Global Tier 1 ESS Battery Cell First-tier Suppliers" list and held a grand award ceremony during the banquet of the 2025 (10th) New Energy Industry Expo, hosted by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM).

1 Billion m²/Year Dry-Process Separator Project For Lithium/Sodium Batteries Lands In Nanning
Recently, Nanning Urban Construction Investment Group and Huahui New Material Technology Co., Ltd. signed an agreement for the lithium/sodium battery dry-process separator intelligent manufacturing project. The total investment for the project is approximately 500 million yuan. It plans to build a new production line with an annual capacity of 1 billion square meters of dry-process separators for lithium/sodium batteries. The project will introduce Guangxi's first new-generation dry-process uniaxial stretching and 4.2-meter-wide biaxial stretching battery separator production line. It is expected that upon reaching full capacity, the annual output value will be approximately 800 million yuan, creating 170 jobs, and establishing the first battery base film production base in Guangxi.
