China has launched the world’s largest production line for electronic-grade fiberglass at its zero-carbon intelligent manufacturing base in Huai’an, Jiangsu Province. The material, essential for printed circuit boards (PCBs), serves as the backbone of modern electronic systems, from smartphones to AI servers.
The new production line has an annual capacity of 390 million meters, accounting for roughly 9% of the global market. The project uses advanced Chinese-developed technologies, including high-performance glass formulations, ultra-large energy-efficient furnaces, and oxy-fuel combustion systems, all fully supported by proprietary intellectual property.
Fiberglass produced will support sectors like new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, high-performance computing, and high-frequency communications. Powered entirely by green electricity from a 233-megawatt wind project, the facility generates over 600 million kWh annually, reducing carbon emissions by more than 400,000 tonnes each year.
