What Wave Cyber does

Wave Cyber (上海唯赛勃新材料股份有限公司, legal entity Wave Cyber (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-headquartered, publicly listed manufacturer of high-performance separation membrane materials and related water treatment components, established in 2001. The company operates a vertically integrated product chain spanning reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane elements, composite material pressure vessels (5–63 inch diameter range), membrane element pressure vessels (2.5–8 inch, 150–1500 psi ratings), and supporting accessories such as soft water tanks and salt tanks. All core technologies are described as self-developed, and products carry multi-jurisdiction certifications including ASME, NSF, CE, and KTW. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Guangdong Ausbert Membrane Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (广东奥斯博膜材料技术有限公司), established in 2011 with approximately 200 employees, is recognized as a national-level specialized 'little giant' enterprise focused on high-performance membrane materials.

The company serves four primary use-case segments: industrial water treatment (semiconductor ultrapure water preparation, zero liquid discharge, water reuse for petrochemical and power plants), municipal water treatment (seawater and brackish water desalination, tap water upgrading), new energy and materials (salt lake lithium extraction from high Mg/Li ratio brine, life sciences, food processing, hydrogen energy), and residential/commercial water softening. Its go-to-market is sales-led and dual-channel: direct supply to major Chinese industrial customers including Baosteel/Baowu Group, Wahaha, Sichuan Petrochemical, China Huaneng, Midea, Shanghai Electric, Shanghai Chengtou, and LanKE Lithium; and long-term OEM supply to international water treatment companies including Culligan, Clack, SUEZ, BWT, PWG, and Selanex. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of membranes, vessels, and complete systems; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Wave Cyber is currently extending into carbon capture membrane technology as a core participant in a national key R&D project led by the Beijing Institute of Clean Energy Research, and is actively commercializing high-pressure nanofiltration and RO systems for salt lake lithium extraction that reportedly reduce water consumption per ton of lithium carbonate by nearly one-third. The company participates in industry exhibitions such as Aquatech Shanghai and the Qinghai Green Development Investment Trade Fair, and subsidiary Ausbert obtained customs AEO advanced certification in January 2026 to support international expansion. No revenue, funding round, or cap-table data is disclosed in the source material.
