What Luoyang Jianlong Micro Nano New Materials does

Luoyang Jianlong Micro Nano New Materials Co., Ltd. (JALON) is a Chinese manufacturer of synthetic molecular sieves, zeolite powders, activated zeolite powders, and activated alumina, founded in 1986 and publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under stock code 688357.SH. The company develops and produces aluminosilicate-based adsorbent products (3A, 4A, 5A, 13X, CaX, LiLSX, and proprietary series including JLOX, JLPM, JLCO, JLVC, and JLHA-100) that serve gas separation, purification, dehydration, and CO2 capture applications. End-use sectors include industrial gas generation (PSA/VPSA oxygen, cryogenic air separation), petrochemical refining, steel and metallurgy, medical oxygen concentration, polymer and chemical processing, renewable energy and biogas upgrading, and building materials and automotive components. Manufacturing is concentrated at the Yanshi (Henan) headquarters and a Thailand facility in the WHA East Coast Industrial Zone, with combined annual capacity of approximately 24,000 tons following the October 2024 expansion.

JALON operates a direct enterprise sales model with regional offices in India and UAE, participation in international industry events (OGA, OGU, SAF Summit), and an annual Molecular Sieve Technology Summit Forum that anchors its top-of-funnel demand generation. The company maintains over 35 patents and certifications, six provincial R&D platforms, and five joint laboratories with leading Chinese universities (Taiyuan University of Technology, East China University of Science and Technology, Nankai University, Dalian University of Technology, Jilin University). It holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, IATF 16949, REACH, and RoHS certifications and received the EcoVadis Bronze Medal in 2023.

The business model is industrial B2B: products are sold via quote-based pricing for bulk orders in standard packaging (25kg cartons to 1,000kg supersacks), with multi-year contracts likely for major accounts and free sample programs available to qualified prospects. Revenue streams include sale of molecular sieve finished products, zeolite powders (sold as inputs to other adsorbent manufacturers), activated alumina, and customized technical services. The company's March 2022 joint venture with Charoen Pokphand Group, CP-Jalon High-tech Materials (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (100M RMB total assets), extends the company into catalysts and environmental equipment, reflecting a stated strategy of evolving from adsorbent supplier toward broader separation and purification solutions provider.
