Proshare Innovation Suzhou Has Completed Tens Of Millions Of Pre-A Rounds Of Financing, Focusing On The New Generation Of Nanocomposite Films|36Kr Debut

Proshare Environmental Protection was founded in 2017 by a team of overseas returning PhDs led by high-level talents. The company focuses on the research and industrialization of third-generation selective separation nanocomposite thin film TFN thin films. After years of research and development, we have continuously improved the TFN membrane research and application platform, providing high cost-effectiveness, personalized high-end separation membrane products and solutions to domestic and foreign markets, empowering separation and purification production processes, and helping global environmental protection and efficient governance. At present, the company has served several large benchmark clients such as Sinopec and entered a period of rapid development. It is expected that the company will achieve a revenue of over tens of millions of yuan in 2023, with the goal of becoming one of the well-known suppliers of high-performance membrane materials at home and abroad within 3 years.
Traditional TFC composite films have pain points such as high cost, low flux, and high energy consumption, as well as certain pollution. Although there are many manufacturers in China, they mainly rely on traditional TFC's original imported formula, which faces severe homogenization competition, low performance and research and development level, and cannot meet the industry's high-speed development demand for new membranes. Special membranes have the advantage of low cost and have the characteristics of high flux and low energy consumption, but the technology of special membranes was initially only mastered by a few foreign manufacturers.

 

Lin Xiaofeng told 36Kr that currently, Proshare Environmental Protection has a certain level of popularity in the traditional market, serving large customers such as Sinopec, Shenghong Refining and Chemical, and Weili. Especially in the field of power batteries, it has served several top listed companies such as lithium battery cathode materials and electrolytes. In the future, it will grow exponentially, and the company's popularity in high-end membrane applications will gradually open up.
In terms of company barriers, Proshare Environmental Protection's special film products have the advantage of high cost-effectiveness; The company can meet the customized needs of emerging market customers; In addition, the company has accumulated a considerable amount of database information during the early stages of product development, which can provide customers with more cost-effective products.
In 2022, the company conducted a lot of research and development work and product applications. Currently, Proshare Environmental Protection has three major categories of products and more than ten sub categories. In the future, on the one hand, the company will expand the application market of existing products; On the other hand, increase R&D investment and develop products for new application scenarios.
In terms of production capacity and output value, Proshare Environmental Protection's current production capacity can meet the current customer demand, with an annual output value of up to 200 million RMB.
Lin Xiaofeng, the founder and chief scientist of the company, graduated from the University of Strasbourg in France. He is a doctor of materials science and a high-level overseas talent.
