On February 23, GCL Technology’s subsidiary Leshan GCL Technology officially received the National High-Tech Enterprise certificate, marking a major milestone in the company’s journey of technology-led, innovation-driven development.

This recognition validates Leshan GCL’s long-standing commitment to innovation, including:

• Core proprietary technologies

• R&D and technology commercialization capabilities

• Organizational management of research & development

• Enterprise growth and operational excellence

At the same time, eight other subsidiaries—Ningxia GCL, Suzhou GCL, Jiangsu Zhongneng, Xuzhou Solar, Funing GCL, GCL Silicon Materials, Henan GCL, and GCL High-Tech Nano—successfully passed their first or subsequent national high-tech enterprise evaluations, collectively entering the national high-tech enterprise “team”.

This large-scale recognition underscores GCL Technology’s robust innovation capacity and technological depth, reflecting its strategy of “Tech GCL, Digital GCL, Green GCL”, which integrates design, R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and operations across the full lifecycle. Leveraging digitalization, the company enhances production intelligence, precision, efficiency, and product quality while advancing low-carbon, green manufacturing.

A company representative highlighted:

“National high-tech enterprise certification is conducted every three years, focusing on two dimensions: enterprise growth—covering profits and business expansion—and R&D strength—covering intellectual property and technology commercialization. Both have long been GCL Technology’s core advantages.”

The Leshan site’s inclusion also reflects the rapid development and technological iteration of GCL’s polysilicon bases from Xuzhou to nationwide deployment. Polysilicon now firmly roots in Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Inner Mongolia, continuously lowering costs, improving quality, and optimizing carbon footprint.

Highlights across bases:

• Xuzhou: Intelligent robots, infrared inspection, and digital management platforms synergize to optimize energy consumption and emissions—realizing the vision of “every gram of silicon carries a carbon-reduction mission.”

• Suzhou: Advancements in wafering, thin-slice cutting, fine-line cutting, and tungsten wire cutting, backed by nearly 50 patents and software copyrights, provide strong technology support for high-quality growth.

• Ningxia: Collaborative research with Ningxia University drives single-crystal silicon innovation, from N-type polysilicon drawing technology to improving crystal rod consistency, showcasing R&D excellence.

Since its founding, GCL Technology has achieved breakthroughs in cold hydrogenation, FBR polysilicon, and perovskite technologies, maintaining industry leadership amid market fluctuations. With China’s “dual-carbon” strategy and global energy transition, GCL Technology is poised to continue delivering substantial green, low-carbon solutions for the world.
