BPI founder Long Xiang
As early as 1991, Long Xiang started his battery exploration by working as an engineer at the Guizhou Power Research Center of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics, responsible for the research and development of portable power products.
In Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, Long Xiang participated in the research and development of China's first rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery, which officially opened the history of rechargeable batteries in China. We can say that Long Xiang is the first batch of charging battery research and development technology talent, the charging battery industry can be achieved today, he has great achievements.
In 2002, to promote the development of China's rechargeable battery industry, Long Xiang founded Shenzhen BPI Battery Co., LTD. With a technical background, Long Xiang knows that technological innovation is like the power of an enterprise. Under his leadership, BPI adheres to the development of cutting-edge high-end rechargeable battery technology and takes the lead in the industry.
In 2004, BPI signed a cooperation agreement with Tianjin University, and later established a cooperative relationship with Central South University, and became the industry-university-research base and post-doctoral workstation of these two universities.
Later, BPI jointly established "Codberg diaphragm China Test Center" with Germany Codberg Group, and "Cologne Power sub-nickel Test Center" with Henan Cologne. It has cooperated with Xiamen Tungsten Co., LTD to establish "Xiamen Tungsten alloy Powder Testing Center" and "lithium electric materials Testing Center".
The four test centers include all the main materials of batteries, make full use of the supplier's manpower, equipment and technical resources, get the performance parameters of new materials first, ensure the leading position of BPI technology, and ensure the priority of the use of new materials for several months. Based on this, BPI's product quality has been continuously improved and many breakthrough achievements have been made.
In the field of nickel metal hydride battery, BPI independently developed AA2500, AAA1000 civilian high capacity nickel metal hydride battery passed the inspection of the National Light Industry Quality Inspection Center in 2006, which is the first high capacity nickel metal hydride battery launched in China, breaking the previous technological monopoly of Japanese enterprises in this field.
Nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery
After continuous technological innovation, the capacity of AA battery produced by BPI company has exceeded 2900mAh, and the capacity of AAA battery can reach 1200mAh. In the field of civil high-capacity battery, BPI has achieved the first place in the world.
BPI also launched fast charging battery, racing model aircraft model nickel-metal hydride high magnification SC4600mAh battery; It has produced a high temperature battery that can be used at 90 degrees, reaching the international leading level.
BPI's technology is also far ahead in nickel-zinc batteries. According to Long Xiang, the company is one of the few domestic battery enterprises to achieve large-scale production of nickel-zinc batteries. Nickel-zinc batteries, by contrast, are more environmentally friendly. Both nickel and zinc are recyclable and easily recyclable metals. Nickel-zinc battery has high voltage, strong discharge current and high energy utilization.
In the field of lithium batteries, BPI's high rate series of lithium batteries can last 10-40C discharge, with high energy density and power density, is one of the most advanced energy storage batteries.
The headset battery
From 2019, BPI also actively layout the e-cigarette battery, from talent to equipment to technology to sales, all aspects to the commanding heights of the industry. At the end of 2019, BPI achieved mass production of e-cigarette batteries, reaching 150,000 units per day. In 2020, with the outbreak of COVID-19, BPI not only actively promoted the resumption of production, but also accelerated the expansion of production capacity. The production capacity of 3C digital products and e-cigarettes increased against the trend.
Long Xiang said that BPI has more than 1800 employees, of whom more than 30% have college degree or above. BPI has two factories, lithium battery division and Nickel battery Division. Strong technical force, with more than 100 rechargeable battery core patents, with the international leading level of positive and negative electrode automation production line, the daily capacity of 420,000, with self-import and export rights.
Our products are mainly exported to the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea and Thailand, etc., covering more than 80 countries in the world. We are the OEM/ODM manufacturer of many international famous brands. It has been awarded the titles of "National High-tech Enterprise", "Post-doctoral Innovation Base" in Shenzhen, etc., and has become the "industry-University-Research Cooperation Base of Tianjin University", "Industry-University-Research Practice Base of Tsinghua University Shenzhen Graduate School", etc.
The innovation enterprise management harmony produces the value
Of course, the success of BPI is also inseparable from Longxiang's correct enterprise management concept. "To be successful, a company must establish an equal and mutual relationship with its suppliers and customers, and its employees must recognize its core philosophy and make the company their home," Long said.
From the point of view of the relationship with suppliers and customers, BPI insists on "being a respected customer and building an equal supply relationship". In fact, this is also BPI chairman Long Xiang has been working for more than 30 years to adhere to the creed of life.
BPI insists on an equal relationship with its customers. In fact, BPI salespeople never need to accompany drinks to get orders. "It's okay to have dinner and drink when talking about business, but if you force our sales staff, especially the female sales staff, to drink on the pretext of getting orders, then we are sorry that we don't want this order... BPI doesn't need employees to lose their dignity to grow!" "Long Xiang said.
In terms of the treatment of suppliers, BPI has always adhered to integrity and equality, paid all the goods on time, and given enough respect to suppliers, so as to maintain a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. For example, in May 2004, Codberg Group of Germany, a major global supplier of battery diaphragms, selected BPI after examining dozens of domestic battery companies. At that time, Codberg chose only two companies in Asia to work with, he said.
This is the first cooperative supplier since the establishment of BPI. Codberg, known as the world's largest non-woven fabric manufacturer, has used its research advantages in the material industry to start a seven or eight year cooperation with BPI. "The diaphragm in Fort Coad is sometimes out of stock, but it's never out of stock here at BPI." In a word, Long Xiang expresses the deep relationship between BPI and Codberg, and perfectly explains BPI's image as a "respected customer".
The above examples are just a vivid illustration of BPI's equal and mutually beneficial supply relationship. In the treatment of employees, BPI also reflects the core values of "people-oriented, caring for employees". "Caring for employees and building harmonious labor relations" is an important support point of BPI corporate culture.
In BPI, the construction of corporate culture is the project of the chairman. From the chairman Long Xiang to all levels of management, we all insist on caring and loving the employees. Chairman Long Xiang often instructs his cadres: "Love your employees like you love your brothers and sisters, because we are ordinary people from all over the world."
BPI's management structure is different from that of most enterprises. Chairman Long Xiang is not at the top, but at the bottom of the inverted pyramid, supporting the development and progress of other employees together with other leaders.
BPI's unique organizational chart
Long Xiang, chairman of BPI, said: "The leadership of BPI belongs to the public servant leadership. We are willing to listen to the voice of employees, guide, help and encourage employees, and create opportunities for every employee's success."
BPI not only cares about employees from work, but also reflects the care for employees from life. BPI employees have a very good treatment, enjoy very good conditions of free accommodation, the company has never defaulted on staff wages. On the contrary, in recent years, the company has continuously increased employee wages and benefits.
BPI also pays attention to the difficulty of purchasing tickets for employees to go home for the Spring Festival. At the end of each year, BPI uniformly purchases tickets for employees at the expense of the company, and uniformly sends cars to take employees to the station. Monthly outstanding staff and outstanding staff with outstanding performance can enjoy paid vacation and travel at public expense; Regularly hold "birthday PARTY" for employees and "staff symposium".
At the same time, the upper and lower level communication mechanism should be established, and the supervisors should visit the staff dormitory regularly. The dormitory is equipped with billiards room, table tennis room, reading room, TV room, etc. Set up a "husband and wife room" to take care of employees' family members who come to visit; Skilled assembly line workers are paid more than white-collar office workers. Subsidies and interest-free loans for housing, car purchases and other welfare policies will be given to cadres above supervisor level, old employees working for a certain number of years and special contributors.
BPI also set up a "love fund committee" for the relief of poor employees, donations into the disaster areas and so on. It not only pays attention to the vital interests of employees, but also pays attention to the development of employees.
This series of measures, so that BPI won the trust and support of employees. In 2017, the BPI production base in Shenzhen was relocated, and none of the 38 core management staff left. All of them were transferred to Jiangxi province along with the BPI production capacity, and purchased a house in Yichun. This is very rare for the relocated enterprises, and it is also the best proof that BPI attaches importance to harmonious labor relations.
In 2010, BPI was awarded as "Shenzhen Enterprise with Harmonious Labor Relations". The Dalang sub-district secretary once led dozens of enterprises in charge of Dalang area to bring BPI to learn; The Central Academy of Social Sciences has organized experts and professors to come to BPI for research three times, and published a book on labor-management harmonious relations, "Labor-management Negotiation Mechanism", in which a quarter of the length is about BPI.
BPI has made great contribution to the development of BPI by building harmonious labor-management relations and enhancing the cohesion of the enterprise.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that BPI also actively participates in social public welfare undertakings. BPI and its chairman Long Xiang have assisted in the construction of Hope primary schools in Guangdong and Guizhou Province, established funds to support a number of poor primary school students, and actively contributed money and materials to the snow disaster in South China, Wenchuan earthquake and Yushu earthquake in Qinghai.
Looking to the Pearl River Delta, BPI has established brand advantage, price advantage, quality advantage and delivery advantage in the battery industry! In the future, BPI will enter the Internet of Things industry with TWS battery as the entrance, and take the steel shell buckle battery as an opportunity to drive the ship of BPI to the Internet of everything era with 5G era as the port!
