Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology

What Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology does

Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology (天津膜天膜科技集团股份有限公司, SZSE: 300334) is a Chinese high-technology company that develops, manufactures, and sells hollow-fiber ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse-osmosis membrane products, along with complete membrane water-treatment systems and EPC/operational services. The company's core technology portfolio centers on four proprietary platforms — Continuous Membrane Filtration (CMF), Submerged Membrane Filtration (SMF), Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), and Two-Way Flow (TWF) — built on PVDF hollow-fiber membrane science, including its proprietary H-TIPS (Homogenously Reinforced Thermal Phase Separation) and fabric-reinforced PVDF technologies, supported by automated production lines the company developed internally. Its municipal water, municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, seawater desalination, and special-separation customers include large state-owned water utilities (Beijing Guogongzhuang, Tianjin Lingzhuangzi, Ningbo Taoyuan), heavy-industrial enterprises (Tianjin Rongcheng Steel, Sichuan Pengwei Petrochemical, Shandong Haihua Group, Shaanxi Pucheng Coal-to-Olefin), and industrial process users across printing/dyeing, biopharmaceutical, and food/beverage sectors.

The company operates a vertically integrated industrial chain spanning membrane product R&D and production, membrane equipment manufacturing, membrane application engineering design and construction, and operational services for water-treatment projects. Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) sale of hollow-fiber UF/MF, nanofiltration, and spiral-wound RO membrane modules; (2) standardized membrane water-treatment equipment and system packages; (3) EPC project delivery for municipal and industrial water projects; and (4) managed-services revenue from BOT and PPP project operations, including two sewage treatment plants operated through its Dongying subsidiary. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting municipal water bureaus, government utilities, and large industrial enterprises, with direct sales engineers managing technical exchange, bidding, and contract execution, supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Zhejiang (printing/dyeing focus), Gansu (surface water and municipal sewage), and Dongying (municipal wastewater operations). The company is the secretariat unit of the National Separation Membrane Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC382), the only National Enterprise Technology Center in China's membrane industry (recognized by NDRC in 2018), and houses the State Key Laboratory of Membrane Materials and Membrane Applications — the only one of its kind in the domestic membrane field. By end-2023, cumulative membrane-based water-treatment capacity deployed reached approximately 22 million tons/day across more than 30 countries.
