The company operates a vertically integrated cathode materials portfolio spanning high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide (LCO, 4.2V–4.58V) with mass-produced 4.53V products and proprietary O2-phase LCO technology, medium- and high-nickel ternary materials (NCM/NCA, Ni88–Ni94 series) exceeding 220mAh/g capacity, fourth-generation and above lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with compaction density ≥2.6 g/cm³, lithium-rich manganese-based materials, dual-route sodium-ion cathode materials, and proprietary LATP solid-state electrolytes (AN1PC, AN5PC). Its products serve consumer electronics (smartphones, laptops, AR glasses, wearables, drones, TWS earbuds), electric vehicles and power batteries (pouch, cylindrical, prismatic formats), stationary energy storage, and next-generation solid-state battery R&D programs.

Mengguli monetizes through direct B2B sales to lithium-ion battery manufacturers under quote-based enterprise pricing, supplying tier-1 and tier-2 battery makers across the 3C, EV, energy storage, and next-generation battery supply chains. The company was the first in China to industrialize lithium cobaltate, breaking the prior foreign monopoly, and holds multiple national-level recognitions including the State Scientific and Technological Progress Second and Third Prizes, National High-Tech Enterprise status, National Enterprise Technology Center designation, an Academician Expert Workstation, a Post-Doctoral Research Center, and a CNAS-accredited quality laboratory operated in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.

Mengguli is controlled by Hengtong Group, a Fortune China 500 diversified conglomerate (ranked No. 216 among China's Top 500 Enterprises), and has been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext (GEM) under stock code 301487 since August 2023. The company employs 10,000+ people across its Tianjin headquarters, multiple operational production phases (Phase I-III), and a new ~RMB 3 billion integrated LFP and iron phosphate project under construction in Dazhou High-tech Zone, Sichuan Province (Phase I targeting 50,000 tons LFP and 100,000 tons iron phosphate per year, commissioning targeted for 2027, with Phase II doubling both capacities).
