Shanshan Co. invests 5.1 billion yuan in Inner Mongolia anode plant after state takeover
Two months after Anhui state-owned assets took control, Shanshan Co. announced a 5.106 billion yuan investment to build a 150,000-ton-per-year lithium-ion battery anode material integrated base in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. The project aims to fill a graphitization capacity gap and meet demand from clients including CATL and BYD. Shanshan reported a 296.73% year-on-year net profit surge in the first half of 2026, recovering from a 2024 loss. However, the company faces 17.14 billion yuan in interest-bearing debt and a 1.9 billion yuan lawsuit from Yunnan state-owned entities.

On September 22, Chinese lithium battery materials producer Shanshan Co. announced a planned investment of approximately 51.06 billion yuan ($7.1 billion) to build a 150,000-ton-per-year lithium-ion battery anode material project in Inner Mongolia through its subsidiary. The project, with a construction period from March 2027 to July 2028, aims to consolidate Shanshan's position as the global leader in artificial graphite anodes. It will add 50,000 tons of graphitization capacity to fill a production gap and reduce outsourcing costs. The facility will also include flexible production interfaces for sodium-ion battery hard carbon anodes, allowing future adaptation to market demand. The investment comes just over a month after Shanshan's change of control to state-owned Anhui Conch Group, which became its indirect controlling shareholder on August 11. The company stated the project leverages state-owned shareholder resources to seize industry opportunities. The announcement cited third-party data showing China's anode material shipments grew 48% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, with capacity utilization exceeding 80% among leading firms. Shanshan reported a 23% revenue increase and a 297% net profit surge in the same period.
