Committed To The Industrialization Of High-End PET Optical Film, Zhongke Youcai Secures Nearly RMB 200 Million In Pre-A Round Financing!

Recently, Hefei Zhongke Youcai Technology Co., Ltd. successfully completed a nearly 200 million yuan Pre-A round of financing. It is understood that this round of financing is mainly used for the iteration and technological upgrading of new production line equipment, the large-scale production of high-end optical films, and the intelligent upgrade of the production system. The project is located in the High-tech Zone of Hefei City, with a total investment of about 500 million yuan, planned land area of 45 acres, and a total construction area of 30,000 square meters. The project focuses on the research and development, intelligent manufacturing, and industrialization of high-end optical films, aiming to break through the "bottleneck" material technology in the industry, support the quality and expansion of the country's strategic emerging industries, and inject innovative momentum into the autonomous and controllable new materials industry chain.

Rooted in the fertile ground of scientific and technological innovation at the University of Science and Technology of China, we have dedicated ourselves to innovation for 20 years.

Zhongke Yucai is a high-tech enterprise incubated through the intellectual property commercialization of the University of Science and Technology of China. Adhering to an integrated R&D and production model, its founding team has been deeply engaged in the field of optical film materials for two decades, achieving a leap from cutting-edge laboratory research and development to industrialization.

For years, China’s high-end optical film sector has been dominated by foreign technologies and markets, with upstream supply in the industrial chain heavily reliant on imports. To break this development bottleneck, the company’s founding team has made dedicated efforts to overcome core technological challenges in optical films, establishing a full-chain industrial system integrating R&D innovation, precision intelligent manufacturing, and engineering scale-up. The company has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, an Innovative SME in Anhui Province, and a “Eagle” Enterprise in Hefei High-Tech Zone. It has also been successfully included among the key enterprises in Hefei’s new display industry chain, achieving the domestic substitution and commercialization of high-end optical films.

Multiple capital aggregation empowers, highly recognized by the capital market.

This round of financing was jointly led by Hefei Industrial Investment and Hefei Innovation Investment, with participation from several industry capital firms and leading professional institutions including Conch Venture Capital, Chuanggu Capital, Guoyuan Equity, Luojia Wutong, and Zhengjing Capital. Existing shareholders also increased their investments, demonstrating the capital market's high recognition of Zhongke Youcai's core technological barriers, product market competitiveness, and the growth potential of the new materials sector. This marks the company's official entry into a new phase of industrialization and scaled development.

Clear allocation of funds, fully accelerate the construction of the mass production base

The company’s products cover the Ultra-LOAF series and the YS-HTLH series, including dimmable films and high-transparency, low-haze optical films, which are widely used in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic applications, mobile phones, commercial displays, tablet computers, and smart wearables. The company’s products have gradually completed technical certification and mass application with downstream customers.

This round of financing will be primarily used for the iteration and technological upgrading of new production line equipment, the scaled mass production of high-end optical films, and the intelligent upgrading of the production system. Upon full operation, it will significantly increase domestic production capacity for high-end PET optical films, address shortcomings in the domestic supply of high-end base materials, and strengthen the upstream supply foundation of the industrial chain.
