Swancor Advanced Materials

What Swancor Advanced Materials does

Swancor Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. is a Shanghai-headquartered specialty materials company, founded in 2000 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market (ticker 688585) since September 2020. It develops, manufactures, and sells epoxy and vinyl ester resin systems for three end-markets: wind turbine blade structures, corrosion-resistant industrial applications, and transportation safety components. Operationally, it runs five production bases across mainland China (Shanghai, Tianjin, Jiangsu), Taiwan (Nantou regional headquarters), and Malaysia, employing 251–500 staff. In 2025–2026, Chinese robotics company AgiBot acquired a 63.62% controlling stake for ~2.1 billion yuan (~$289 million), making Swancor a controlled subsidiary of an embodied-intelligence-focused acquirer.

The company's core technology platform is the EzCiclo recyclable thermosetting epoxy resin system paired with CleaVER chemical-degradation liquid, which enables recovery and reuse of glass and carbon fibers from end-of-life composite parts — historically considered non-recyclable. This platform underpins the company's strategic positioning ahead of EU End-of-Life Wind Turbine regulations (2025/2028). Beyond EzCiclo/CleaVER, the product portfolio includes SWANCOR vinyl ester resins (901, CHEMPULSE 901, 905-2, 915, 907-S, 900), SWANCOR HYVER 2250 wind blade injection resin (DNV and CCS certified), SWANCOR 2591 prepreg resin, and FIREREX FR110 flame-retardant rail transit resin (EN45545-2 R1:HL3).

Swancor operates a B2B direct-sales model targeting enterprise customers across wind energy, marine, automotive, petrochemical, food/pharmaceutical, and rail transit sectors. Named customers include Siemens Gamesa, Goldwind Science & Technology, Times New Materials, BYD, and major Chinese power plants. Strategic partnerships span co-development alliances with Siemens Gamesa, Goldwind, and Times New Materials on recyclable blade programs, plus a joint venture with Shandong Longneng New Energy (Shandong Longneng Renewable Resources Utilization Co., Ltd., September 2023) for downstream blade-recycling services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through multi-year supply and licensing arrangements.
