Driven by booming AI computing power and new energy industries, industry forecasts predict a global shortage of 1,500 tons of high-end AI copper foil this year, expanding to 2,500 tons by 2027. Far East Copper Foil, a subsidiary of Far East Smart Energy Co., Ltd. (Far East Co., Ltd., Stock Code: 600869), has made early strategic layout and secured a core position in this competitive track with high-performance products.Rising demand for AI computing power, paired with sustained prosperity in new energy vehicles and energy storage sectors, has ushered in a new upward cycle for the copper foil industry. Fueled by AI computing, copper foil is recognized as core infrastructure material for computing power. AI servers impose extremely strict requirements on PCB signal integrity, making high-end HVLP copper foil irreplaceable. Leading cloud vendors have locked production capacity in advance, driving simultaneous rises in output volume and prices for high-end copper foil. Supported by cutting-edge technologies and intelligent manufacturing, Far East Copper Foil under Far East Co., Ltd. has taken early layout and established a solid foothold in the high-end copper foil core track.Founded in 2017, Far East Copper Foil undertakes the industrialization mission of high-end copper foil with a planned total capacity of 75,000 tons. It specializes in ultra-thin lithium battery copper foil for high-performance power batteries, energy storage batteries and consumer electronics batteries, while expanding product lines for AI computing power copper foil.

Its strengths lie in intelligent manufacturing plants that achieve stable mass production of micron-level ultra-thin copper foil, covering an ultra-thin specification of 3.5μm while meeting customized demands of ≥15% high elongation and 60kgf/mm² high tensile strength. The 3.5μm ultra-thin lithium copper foil is only one-twentieth the thickness of a human hair. Compared with traditional 8μm copper foil, it cuts cell copper consumption cost by more than half and boosts battery energy density by 5–9%. Additionally, diversified product series including Longling high-elongation grade, Longjia high-tensile grade and Yunjin composite current collectors form Far East Copper Foil’s comprehensive product portfolio, with phased breakthroughs achieved in both high-elongation & high-tensile lithium copper foil and composite copper & aluminum foil tracks.

Far East Copper Foil New Material R&D Center focuses on cutting-edge research and masters mass production technologies for multi-functional composite copper and aluminum foils. It actively develops new materials such as 3D porous composite foil and high thermal conductivity conductive composite copper foil to fuel growth in new energy, electronic circuits and solar industries. In May this year, Yibin Far East Copper Foil Co., Ltd. was listed among Sichuan Province’s Advanced Intelligent Factories of 2026, marking new heights for digital intelligent transformation of copper foil manufacturing.Standing at the dual boom of AI and new energy, Far East Copper Foil leverages years of technological accumulation and forward-looking capacity layout to build a complete core supply chain covering both computing power and lithium battery tracks. Amid industry-wide shortage of high-end copper foil, it firmly grasps industrial development trends, continuously supplies core products for global computing electronics and new energy sectors, and expands steadily in the blue ocean of computing power infrastructure.深耕高性能动力电池、储能电池和消费电池超薄锂电铜箔领域,并布局AI算力铜箔。
