Accelerating Global Integrated Deployment and Strengthening the Long-Duration Storage Industrial Base
Underpinning HiTHIUM's sustained global leadership is its worldwide industrial capability built around long-duration storage, along with deepening synergies across R&D, manufacturing, operations, and delivery.
With its global headquarters in Xiamen as the hub, HiTHIUM continues to expand its international footprint. In January 2026, its Chongqing facility was certified as the world's first "Lighthouse Factory" in the energy storage battery industry, further enhancing its smart manufacturing and large-scale production capacity. In August, the world's first long-duration storage integrated industrial park rolled off in Heze, Shandong, advancing the industrialization of long-duration storage supply chains. Meanwhile, its Texas-based facility in the U.S. has commenced mass production, and construction is progressing steadily at its Spanish plant.
From domestic production bases to overseas manufacturing hubs, HiTHIUM is systematically building a globally distributed industrial network that enables coordinated R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and business operations. This approach continually strengthens the company's ability to deliver large-scale, stable shipment to global customers, while also reinforcing the foundational infrastructure for its long-duration storage strategy.
HiTHIUM's renewed top 2 global ranking reflects the cumulative payoff of its sustained focus on energy storage and continuous investment in technology and industrial capacity. It also marks the ongoing translation of its long-duration storage strategy into tangible market competitiveness.
As the global energy storage market enters a new phase, HiTHIUM is further consolidating its competitive edge through more comprehensive integrated solution offerings, stronger manufacturing capability, and an increasingly refined global industrial system.
Looking forward, HiTHIUM remains committed to the energy storage sector, staying firmly on course with its long-duration storage strategy. By driving technology innovation, expanding global industrial presence, and building core competitive strengths in cost leadership, service excellence, and safety-reliability, the company aims to deliver safer, more efficient, and more dependable full-scenario integrated energy storage solutions to customers worldwide—contributing to the global green energy transition.
