CORNEX more than triples shipments in H1

By Zhou Chunyi.

In the first half of 2026, the CORNEX New Energy base in Yichang recorded a cumulative output value of more than 7.5 billion yuan (US$1.11 billion), with shipments surging 222 percent year on year. Energy storage products accounted for more than 90 percent of total shipments, with bulk exports to Bulgaria, Spain, Vietnam and other countries in Europe and Asia.

The Phase I production lines are operating at full capacity, using automated coating and AI-driven inspection processes. Phase II cleanroom construction is over 80 percent complete, and equipment installation has begun in all four cell workshops. Workshop No.5 is undergoing single-machine testing and is on track to begin production by the end of July. To ensure the project stays on schedule, Yiling District has set up a dedicated government task force to coordinate support measures, such as upgrading a nearby road, improving the industrial park's water supply, and building new homes for relocated residents.

CORNEX has made maximizing Phase I production efficiency, refining its intelligent manufacturing system, and ensuring the timely delivery of domestic and international orders as its top priority. It is also accelerating equipment integration and capacity expansion for Phase II, which is expected to begin full operations in September and reach its designed production capacity by the end of the year.
