In an inconspicuous corner of Nanjing Abner New Materials Co., Ltd, an old automatic mixer with mottled paint and fuzzy nameplate stands quietly. Next to it, is an equally aged desk ......
It is hard to imagine that this processing capacity of only 200 kg of "antique", is the national specialties and new "small giants" enterprise "No. 1 contributor". "It is the 1997 hand rubbed 'old buddy'." General Manager Wang Bo stroked the body of the machine, eyes full of emotion, "at that time is relying on this small machine, a bucket and a bucket to stir ......"
From 200 kilograms to 500 kilograms, and then to today's 5 tons of fully automatic mixer, this "old buddy" like a silent medal, witnessed the Ebner thirty years of "deadly" new materials, breaking the monopoly of foreign stubborn journey.

There is no end to "immersion".
Make "leakage" a thing of the past.
In the foundry industry, microporous air holes are the most treacherous. Even a microporous hole one-tenth the size of a hairline can cause a spacecraft to malfunction or an automobile cylinder head to seep oil.
What EBNER is doing is to "cure" the parts in such a detailed field. Walking into the immersion workshop, which EBNER is proud of, a workpiece frame carrying the casting slides into the fully automated production line, and under vacuum pressure, a special "immersion agent" seals all the microscopic holes that are invisible to the naked eye.
"It's like giving the part a deep spa treatment with a specialized agent," Yu Jianhua, production director at Ebner, draws an analogy.
But don't underestimate this "potion". In the past, the high-end infiltration agent market has long been the United States, DuPont, Germany, and other giants, domestic enterprises not only buy expensive, but also often be "neck".
The turnaround happened in 2014. The 8690 organic soaking agent independently developed by EBNER passed the certification of Volkswagen Laboratory in Germany, and became the first domestic brand of soaking agent to break into Volkswagen's global supporting system. Since then, EBNER has been going through thick and thin.Its recyclable immersion sealant not only breaks the monopoly, but also reduces the cost by more than 25%.
Today, the productdomestic market share has exceeded 70%.Real import substitution.

From "running with the pack" to "rolling with the punches"
A Chinese company's comeback
It's no exaggeration to say thatAbner's history of growth is a typical history of Chinese companies against the odds.
In 2006, when it was formally established, it was just a small player named "Abner Impermeable Technology Co. But by virtue of the "stubbornness" of the research and development - the annual sales of 10% into the laboratory, hard to fight a piece of heaven.
2021, EbnerSuccessfully researched and developed and put into use the fully automatic dipping production line, realizing a major breakthrough in the field of high-end dipping equipment, and reverse exported to Germany and other overseas markets.
In 2022, the company was selected as one of the national specialized, special and new "small giants", completing the leap from "following" to "leading". In the same year.Ebner led the development of the first industry standard for leaching agents.From being a "good student", I became a "teacher".
"With a standard in hand, words have weight." As the person in charge of this standard-setting, Zheng Li, the company's R&D director, soaks in the lab every day with a research team consisting of doctors and masters from prestigious universities, overcoming one problem after another, "Our R&D direction is very clear, not only to stick firmly, but also to be more environmentally friendly and smarter."
The data is the most powerful proof: leaching sealing materials in the production process to achieve fully automatic separation and recycling, sewage discharge reduced by 90%, sealing material consumption reduced by more than 25%; aluminum and magnesium alloy environmental protection surface treatment technology exceeds the industry average level of 12 times; two-component body folding adhesive salt spray resistance compared to the mainstream products to improve the counterparts of the effect of 15%, the cost decreased by approximately 20%......
All of these are a vivid portrayal of Ebner's concept of "immersion" without end.

never-ending
From selling products to selling services
Ebner's layouts are always laid out with the keenest eye on the future.
The company, which started with a 200kg mixer, has long since broken away from the traditional manufacturing "selling mindset". Today, the company is acceleratingTransformation from a single product supplier to a comprehensive service provider - customized development of products according to customer needs, and layout of service networks around core industrial belts such as automotive and new energy.
Currently.EBNER has established 3 processing plants and more than 30 service centers in China, as well as a number of molecular companies in Shanghai and Chongqing.In the words of the company's chairman, Huang Xin, "Wherever our customers are, we build our labs and production lines."
With the popularization of new energy vehicles, lightweight bodywork has become an industry necessity. EBNER is stuck in advance, focusing on the surface treatment and structural bonding technology of aluminum/magnesium alloy die-casting parts. "At present, this technology of ours has gone through the preliminary experiments and entered the trial production stage." Yu Jianhua introduced.The company has built the most advanced fully automated production line in China, specializing in the production of structural adhesive for aluminum/magnesium alloy die-casting parts, with an annual output of 4,000 tons.
In addition to traditional areas of strength such as automotive and aerospaceAbner's sights are also set on a broader blue ocean - energy storage, new energy batteries, electronic and electrical chips.In its latest business scope, "energy storage technology services", "battery spare parts production" and other new items are particularly conspicuous. "Our goal is to put more and better domestic new materials on the international stage." Huang Xin said with confidence.
From automobile engines to new energy batteries
From aerospace components to future chips
Abner is using the same craftsmanship for 30 years.
Building one after another
The dream of domestic high-end new materials
