Xiamen TOB New Energy Technology Co

What Xiamen TOB New Energy Technology Co does

Xiamen TOB New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (TOB New Energy) is a Chinese manufacturer of battery production equipment and materials, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The founding team entered the battery equipment industry in 2002, giving the company approximately 24 years of cumulative domain expertise. TOB provides integrated one-stop solutions spanning the entire battery manufacturing workflow — from material processing and electrode preparation to cell assembly, formation, and testing — covering lithium-ion, solid-state, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and operates as a sole legal entity in Xiamen without subsidiaries.

The company's technology portfolio includes proprietary dry electrode film technology that eliminates solvents from electrode production, a complete solid-state battery laboratory system operating at -50°C dew point dry-room conditions, high-precision testing and sorting systems with ±0.00001V voltage accuracy, and negative pressure formation technology for prismatic cells. TOB holds over 60 national patents and operates a 3,000+ sqm R&D and testing center with dedicated laboratories and pilot lines. Product offerings are organized around three pillars: (1) battery production equipment including coin/cylindrical/pouch/prismatic cell assembly machines, electrode preparation equipment, dry electrode film solutions, battery testers, and pack assembly equipment; (2) battery materials including cathode/anode active materials, current collectors, electrolytes, binders, separators, and specialty materials for solid-state, sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur, and fuel cell chemistries; and (3) turnkey battery production lines for coin, cylindrical, pouch, and prismatic cells.

TOB generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of equipment and turnkey battery production lines, supplemented by engineering and technical services (process consultation, performance testing, pre-delivery inspection, and technical team support). Pricing is custom-quoted with MOQ of 1 set per equipment order. The company has served more than 6,000 factories, universities, and research institutions across over 20 countries, with named customers including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, A123, SKC, MIT, IIT, and a European energy technology enterprise for which TOB delivered Europe's first 5MWh/year Li-ion pouch cell mass production line in 2024-2025. The sales-led go-to-market model operates through direct sales (24/7 customer service via phone, WhatsApp, email), an 11-language company website, an expanding global distributor program, and regular trade show participation at events like CIBF.
