By the end of May this year, its annual production capacity for 6-inch and 8-inch epitaxial wafers reached approximately 420,000 units, making it one of the highest-capacity players in the sector.
The company reported revenues of RMB437 million, RMB1.171 billion, and RMB520 million in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. After net profit grew from RMB2.814 million to RMB95.882 million, it swung to a RMB500 million loss in 2024.
