Uniconn

What Uniconn does

Uniconn (壹连科技) is a Chinese electrical connection components manufacturer founded in 1991 and headquartered in Shenzhen. The company produces four integrated product lines: Cells Contact System (CCS) battery cell connection components, high-voltage power transmission harnesses, low-voltage signal transmission harnesses, and flexible printed circuits (FPC). Core manufacturing relies on laser and ultrasonic welding process IP, supported by 159+ patents (including 9 invention patents), a CNAS-accredited testing center, and proprietary automation equipment. The product portfolio is engineered primarily for high-voltage environments in battery modules and powertrains, where reliability, signal integrity, and thermal management are critical design constraints.

Uniconn operates eight production bases — seven in China (Shenzhen, Ningde, Liyang, Zhejiang, Yibin, Zhaoqing, Changchun) and one in Košice, Slovakia (the first overseas plant, designated as the group's carbon-neutral demonstration site), with a Munich sales office supporting European accounts. The company sells directly via enterprise field sales to new energy vehicle OEMs, battery manufacturers, energy storage integrators, and select industrial, medical, and aerospace customers. Pricing is quote-based under long-running design-in relationships; the Ningde facility, for example, was deliberately sited within minutes of CATL to enable tight program integration with the dominant Chinese battery OEM.

The company reported revenue of approximately RMB 5.149 billion serving more than 5,000 strategic customers, with end markets including NEV powertrains, grid and behind-the-meter energy storage, the emerging low-altitude economy (eVTOLs and drones), industrial automation, and medical devices. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales with recurring orders tied to major OEM platforms; Uniconn went public on the Shenzhen ChiNext board on 22 November 2024 under stock code 301631.
