Pan Qinghai: Create the dream of manganese lithium electric power
Pan Qinghai, winner of the "May 1st Labor Medal" in Changzhou City, once studied abroad and achieved success. He specializes in certain fields. He already has a successful career. Now, he has come to Changzhou. In this hot land, he uses his knowledge and wisdom to start his own business.
Pan Qinghai is from Tianjin. After graduating from Nankai University, he obtained a doctorate from Tohoku University in Japan in 1992. He is currently the technical director of Jiangsu Istar Battery Co., Ltd.
After graduation, Dr. Pan became the head of the production department of a large Japanese company after one year of work due to his outstanding performance in all aspects. From 1996 to 1999, he was employed by Japan's Alice Company, responsible for the training of new personnel in the Chinese company, and later served as the director of the production department. Because he was unwilling to become a Japanese citizen, Pan Qinghai resolutely left Alice Yama Co., Ltd., a well-known Japanese plastic products company, in 1999, immigrated to Canada, and came to Nogen Mori Canada Company. At Moli Company, Pan Qinghai came into contact with power lithium batteries for the first time, and quickly became familiar with and mastered this green new energy technology. From 1999 to 2000, he studied at BCIT College in Vancouver, Canada, and obtained a diploma in computer science. From 2000 to 2007, he worked at E-ONE MOLI ENERGY (CANADA) LTD. and served as laboratory manager, researcher, senior researcher and laboratory supervisor. He was mainly responsible for raw material and product analysis, development of new battery materials and related Development of battery design and production processes, analysis and processing of problems in actual production, and tracking of the development trends of lithium-ion batteries in the world.
Over the past thirty years of reform and opening up, the motherland has achieved earth-shaking changes that make Chinese people working outside feel proud. The times are calling and the situation is developing. In 2007, under the background of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee vigorously implementing the strategy of strengthening the city with talents, focusing on building a talent highland, and providing strong talent guarantee and intellectual support for the scientific and sustainable development of Changzhou, Pan Qinghai came to Changzhou, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, is a city rich in oriental charm, with huge potential and full of development hope. The Changzhou government firmly establishes the concept of "human resources are the first resource" and strives to introduce and gather talents. It also raises talent funds from various sources to support talent innovation and entrepreneurship, so that talents can fully feel that they have a place to play in Changzhou and can be used fairly. . As the third batch of leading returnee entrepreneurial talents in our city, Pan Qinghai returned to his motherland in October 2007. From his undergraduate degree in physical chemistry to his PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry, Pan Qinghai never seemed to have thought about starting his own business, let alone lithium-ion power batteries as a business direction. In 2007, the largest lithium battery company in China extended an olive branch to him and asked him to return to China to form a China Power Battery Company. "For so many years, you have worked for others in Japan and Canada. Now that you have returned to China, do you still want to work for others? Since you have the technology, why not start your own business?" A friend's words changed Pan Qinghai's vision for the future. In 2008, international oil prices returned to a "roller coaster", making all automobile manufacturers realize that whoever can replace gasoline power with green new energy will hold the lifeblood of the future development of the automobile industry. Pan Qinghai is keenly aware that lithium batteries, as a new energy source, are a hot field for the world's automobile industry. Lithium-ion power batteries will take advantage of the development of the electric vehicle industry and reach the sky.
"Lithium-ion power batteries are an emerging industry in China and even the world. We have the latest technology and are on the same starting line as the world." Pan Qinghai's voice is consistent with the views of Nissan Renault Global CEO Carlos , "If China increases its investment in green new energy, it may become a leader in the automotive field in the future." After a friend introduced it, the CEO of Changzhou Isida Textile Printing and Dyeing Company went to Moli Company for inspection and immediately decided to work with Pan Qinghai Together, we established a new company to develop power lithium battery projects.
In October 2007, Pan Qinghai came to Changzhou from Canada with the world's most advanced lithium-ion battery technology and founded Jiangsu Istar Battery Co., Ltd.
With no personnel or equipment, Pan Qinghai started from scratch and put it into production in just over 7 months. From its establishment in October 2007 to its official launch in May 2008, the company's current production capacity has increased from 8,000 cylindrical lithium batteries per day to 12,000. The daily production will reach 20,000 by the end of the month, and this year's target is to reach a daily production of 50,000.
In 2008, Pan Qinghai was named "Changzhou's Leading Returnee Innovation and Entrepreneurship Talent" and received 2 million yuan in start-up capital.
In 2009, Pan Qinghai was rated as a “High-Level Innovation and Entrepreneurship Talent in Jiangsu Province”.
As the saying goes, "God rewards those who work hard." Pan Qinghai often stayed alone in the company, working overtime until late at night, and forgetting to eat and sleep. He not only cares about the work of his colleagues in the company, but also cares about their lives. He organized and opened a table tennis room, billiards room, basketball court, and badminton hall in the company, which greatly enriched the spare time life of his colleagues. He often comes to the company on weekends to visit colleagues who work overtime. Pan Qinghai combines his personal ambitions with the prosperity of the country, combines his own career with the regional economic and social development, thinks about the needs of the country, and uses the talents he has learned to make the company stronger and stronger.
For more than a year, under the leadership of Dr. Pan, the company has established a corporate quality system in accordance with the ISO9001 standard and a corporate environmental management system in accordance with the ISO14001 standard. All the company's products have passed UL-1642, CE , RoSH and other relevant international standard certifications. The cylindrical lithium-ion power battery developed and produced by the company has high-power discharge (up to 40A discharge in an instant), ultra-low temperature operation (can work normally at minus 40 degrees, reaching the world's top level), and ultra-long life (after 500 cycles of operation) , the capacity remains above 90%), environmentally friendly and safe (a unique explosion-proof and leak-proof battery cover is designed, and the safety performance indicators have reached the world's advanced level). The products have been recognized by large international power tool and electric vehicle manufacturers. It does not need to be preheated at minus 40 degrees and can still work normally, which has won the favor of domestic military industrial enterprises. So far, the company has 2 patents, 6 patents are being accepted, and 5 patents are being applied for. By the end of 2008, the company had a production capacity of 30,000 batteries per day. The company's next goal is to achieve a daily battery production of 100,000 units and sales of 600 million yuan in 2010, and to achieve a daily battery production of 400,000 units and sales of 2 billion yuan in 2012. Through continuous investment in R&D, international technical exchanges, and the introduction of high-end technical talents, the products have always been in line with international standards in core technologies, and a number of domestic and foreign independent intellectual property technology patents have been applied to the product design and development of manganese lithium batteries. On the production process. Independently developed and built a high-simulation test system for lithium battery product applications, ensuring the reliability and mass production of product commercial applications.
The 105th Canton Fair in 2009 was held grandly in Guangzhou. Jiangsu Mnke Battery Co., Ltd. participated in the exhibition and demonstrated the latest products and technologies developed for manganese-based cylindrical lithium-ion power batteries. The site attracted many people. There are few businesses at home and abroad. The development prospects of lithium batteries are very promising, but currently lithium batteries are not widely used in power tools. The reason is that customers are not very clear about the application of lithium batteries, and the market does not have enough guidance on lithium batteries. However, Pan Qinghai is very confident that lithium batteries will be used in power tools. Do a good job in this market, create manganese lithium batteries into an international brand made in China, and strive to be China's second MOLI! "
At the invitation of BMW, on November 4th and 5th, Pan Qinghai and other company leaders went to the Munich headquarters of the BMW Group in Germany to participate in the "BMW Asia Suppliers Conference" and achieved significant gains. BMW Mr. Philip Eller, Global Vice President of the Group and President of Purchasing in Asia, received Pan Qinghai and others alone. The two parties had a detailed discussion on BMW's lithium-ion power battery project for electric vehicles and reached an important cooperation agreement: BMW, Jiangsu Istar Battery and the local government jointly established the "BMW Lithium-ion Battery R&D Center for Electric Vehicles" and jointly look forward to and promote the application of lithium-ion batteries in BMW electric vehicles this time in Germany. During the trip, Pan Qinghai once again strengthened his determination and confidence in this development goal.
With the advancement of the "BMW Lithium-ion Battery R&D Center for Electric Vehicles" project, it will inevitably greatly promote the progress of manganese batteries towards their goals.
