Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Jiangsu, China, Aosheng is one of Asia’s largest carbon fibre composites (CFC) producers. Its CFC products are applied in a wide range of downstream areas, including wind power, medical equipment, automotive, and civil engineering materials to name a few. Aosheng has a diversified portfolio of blue-chip customers globally and a strong competitive edge in producing wind-blade related CFCs.
Carbon fibre is widely considered a superior material with extensive applications and huge potential. It is light weight, high strength, highly elastic, and resistant to thermal expansion, friction and corrosion, and is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials available. Carbon fibre is mixed with epoxy resin and other materials to become a composite for industrial applications.
Aosheng has more than 600 employees and over 60,000 square metres of production facilities that consume over 10,000 tonnes of carbon fibre raw material annually. It owns 83 patents including 35 invention patents, and has well-rounded technical capabilities such as weaving, laminating, prepreg, pressing, RTM, CNC, pultrusion and comprehensive internal lab testing.
Since AIF Capital’s investment, Aosheng has grown its wind-blade related revenue from zero to over 50% of total revenue. Aosheng is also a key supplier to one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers globally, and a regular winner of production quality awards. Aosheng is expected to continue to benefit from strong growth in the renewable energy space.
