The production rollout ceremony of Shandong HiTHIUM's world's first long-duration energy storage (LDES) integrated industrial park (Heze Base) was held today in Heze Luxi New Area. As the world's first intelligent manufacturing base purpose-built for LDES, the Heze Base exemplifies an industrial practice of "benchmark from day one, leadership from production rollout ". It marks a strategic milestone for HiTHIUM in its unwavering LDES commitment and deepening global integrated industrial layout, propelling the company into a new era of worldwide LDES integrated intelligent manufacturing and scaled delivery capabilities.
Three Pillars of Leadership: From Benchmark Base to Industrial Powerhouse
Spanning a planned total area of approximately 80 hectares and representing a total investment of over RMB 13 billion across the entire industrial chain, the Shandong Heze project is the world's first integrated industrial park dedicated exclusively to LDES.
Built on a whole-industry-chain approach, the facility encompasses intelligent manufacturing of LFP battery cells, module and system integration, new material production, and upstream raw material processing – achieving end-to-end integration from materials to cells to systems.
Wang Pengcheng, HiTHIUM's Co-founder and President, stated: The production rollout marks a new phase for the Heze Base in scalable manufacturing, market-oriented delivery, and ecosystem development. Building on this new foundation, HiTHIUM will continue to advance our "three pillars of leadership":
First, industrial leadership – building a national benchmark industrial cluster for LDES. With the Heze LDES integrated industrial park as the 'core engine', HiTHIUM will gather upstream and downstream partners to cover the full 'generation-transmission-distribution-utilization' application ecosystem.
Second, product leadership – defining full-scenario LDES solutions. HiTHIUM has taken the lead in defining and deploying LDES solutions. Leveraging the Base's scaled capacity, HiTHIUM will fully unleash the manufacturing potential of thousand-ampere-hour large-capacity products, ushering the global lithium-based LDES industry into an era of large-scale, full-fledged delivery.
Third, production efficiency leadership – building global competitiveness through integrated intelligent manufacturing. Fully equipped with independently developed fifth-generation intelligent manufacturing lines, the Base enables end-to-end synergistic integration across core materials, cell manufacturing, system integration, and global delivery, ensuring our ability to deliver large-scale, high-efficiency, and high-quality products to global markets.

Integrated Intelligent Manufacturing: Redefining LDES Manufacturing Standards
The Heze Base's integrated intelligent manufacturing system covers the entire process from raw materials to prefabricated container delivery. Powered by the fifth-generation production lines – the industry's first to exceed 15 GWh in single-line capacity – the new generation delivers a 50% reduction in floor space per GWh, 58% reduction in production manpower, 13% reduction in manufacturing energy consumption, and 200% efficiency improvement compared to the previous generation. With an automation rate exceeding 95%, over 1,000 quality control checkpoints reinforced by AI-powered visual inspection, the Heze Base establishes a low-cost operation capability, high-efficiency delivery, and premium product quality, offering globally competitive LDES solutions for customers worldwide.
