Man Yue International Holdings Ltd, said to be the fifth largest aluminum electrolytic capacitors (E-caps) manufacturer in the world, has signed a second five-year cooperative agreement with the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen for co-development new aluminum electrolytic capacitors and energy storage devices.
The Group signed the first cooperative agreement with Tsinghua University in 2004 to set up Man Yue Industrial Electro-chemical R&D Centre at the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen. It is dedicated to developing innovative technologies for enhancing the capabilities of electrolyte and applications of new materials in the E-caps field. The research team, with more than 10 doctors and doctorate students, is led by Professor Feng Guan Ping, President of the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen, and his deputy Dr. Liu Wei Qiang.
Currently, the center is developing the second generation of Polymer Caps, which is expected to be launched in 2010. At the same time, the centre is working on developing new energy storage devices for renewable energy and environmental protection equipment for use mainly in new generation electrical transportation equipment. Those products are scheduled to be launched in between 2010 and 2011.
"Man Yue and the Research Institute have been cooperating closely for years making significant contribution to the economy and society. It is an outstanding example of how a research institute may serve a Hong Kong enterprise. The centre is a top-grade research institute and a laboratory equipped with advanced testing and inspection facilities. Its goal is to become a major laboratory in the Shenzhen in the next three years," Professor Feng said.
Kee Chor Lin, Chairman of Man Yue, said, "The Group is very pleased to extend its partnership with Tsinghua University. Drawing on the strong R&D capabilities and innovative technologies of Tsinghua University and the extensive experience and network of the Group in the capacitor industry, the two parties will continue to work together in developing and launching new capacitors with more excellent functions and energy saving features to support the fast growing consumer electronics sector."
