(SMM), conducted a field trip to Xiamen Tungsten Motor Industry Co., Ltd. They were warmly received by Liang Junbin, Assistant General Manager and Manager of the Investment Promotion Department, and Gao Ya, Project Manager of the Investment Promotion Department, from Xiamen Tungsten Motor Industry Co., Ltd. During the visit, the SMM team gained an in-depth understanding that Xiamen Tungsten Motor Industry Co., Ltd. had been planning and constructing the Xiamen Shituo Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Motor Industrial Park in Jimei District since 2018. During the tour of the industrial park, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on the future development of the motor industry and potential cooperation opportunities. This field trip not only deepened mutual understanding but also laid a solid foundation for establishing a strong cooperative relationship between SMM and Xiamen Tungsten Motor. This close partnership will provide both parties with a competitive edge in future market competition. It will also further drive the development of the motor industry and promote collaboration between the two companies in technology, markets, and resources, contributing to the achievement of win-win goals. It is believed that through this exchange, both parties can work together to create an even brighter future. Xiamen Tungsten Motor Industry Co., Ltd., the operating entity of the Xiamen Shituo Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Motor Industrial Park, was established in April 2018 through a joint investment by Fujian Yekong Equity Investment Management Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 1 billion yuan. Since its establishment, the company has leveraged the high-quality rare earth resources in Fujian Province and the technological advantages of Xiamen Tungsten in rare earth magnetic materials and motors to construct the Xiamen Shituo Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Motor Industrial Park in Jimei District. Aligning with the national "dual carbon" strategic goals and Xiamen City's "4+4+6" modern industrial system construction objectives, the company has planned and laid out fields such as NEV motors, servo motors, modern industrial and agricultural motors, intelligent manufacturing, and precision manufacturing. It focuses on incubating and introducing rare earth permanent magnet motor enterprises and related industry chain companies, highlighting the energy-efficient and high-performance characteristics of rare earth permanent magnet motors, and contributing to the creation of a world-class high-end intelligent manufacturing industrial cluster. The Xiamen Shituo Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Motor Industrial Park utilizes the high-quality rare earth resources in Fujian and the excellent rare earth permanent magnet materials from Xiamen Tungsten to plan and lay out fields such as NEV motors, servo motors, modern industrial and agricultural motors, intelligent manufacturing, and precision manufacturing. It focuses on incubating and introducing rare earth permanent magnet motor enterprises and related industry chain companies. Combining with the global "dual carbon" strategic goals, it highlights the energy-efficient and high-performance characteristics of rare earth permanent magnet motors, aiming to create an industrial ecosystem cluster based on motors, drives, and controls, extending to product application solutions, and fostering coordinated development across the upstream and downstream sectors. The industrial park is planned to have a total investment of approximately 10 billion yuan and cover an area of 1,500 mu. Phase I of the project commenced construction in December 2018, with a total land area of about 300 mu, and was fully completed and put into operation by 2023. Currently, the park hosts over 20 enterprises, attracting more than 1.8 billion yuan in investment. Its business scope covers NEV power motors, industrial servo motors, various facility motors, motor controllers, 3D printing, precision machining, etc. In the NEV sector, it now has the capacity to produce 300,000 advanced motor stators and rotors annually, and supplies them in bulk to top-tier enterprises such as GAC and SAIC. The Huawei project is currently undergoing certification. High-end motorized spindle products are being applied in batches to domestically produced machine tools, breaking foreign monopolies. The integrated PV+ESS low-carbon oil extraction solution is currently negotiating cooperation with Daqing Oilfield and is being promoted to Russia and the Middle East as a BRICS Innovation Center initiative. Modern agricultural motor products have empowered leading agricultural enterprises such as Muyuan and Sunner to achieve digital farming and carbon reduction. Independently developed medical electric transfer vehicles and other products have been applied in large hospitals within and outside the province, as well as in overseas markets. The industrial park is generally developing well, gradually forming a high-quality growth point that leads the development of the rare earth permanent magnet motor industry and drives regional economic takeoff.
