- Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co.,LTD Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co.,LTD engages primarily in germanium mining, pyrometallurgical enrichment, hydrometallurgical purification, zone melting refining, deep processing, and research and development; its core products encompass germanium ingots (germanium metal), high-purity germanium dioxide for zone-refined germanium, organic germanium, catalysis, bismuth germanate crystals, and compound crystals; zone-refined germanium ingots for germanium single crystals and alloys; infrared-grade germanium single crystals, blanks, and lenses for thermal imagers, night monitors, and optical systems; photovoltaic-grade germanium wafers and single crystal chips for solar cells; fiber-optic grade germanium tetrachloride; as well as compound semiconductor materials including gallium arsenide wafers and indium phosphide wafers, germanium radiation detectors, and germanium coal. The company operates a complete germanium industry chain as a high-tech enterprise with over 40 years of production history, serving sectors such as infrared photoelectric devices, solar energy batteries, optical fiber communications, light-emitting diodes, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, high-power lasers, and optical communication detectors; it distributes products domestically in China and to overseas markets including Europe, Russia, and Japan. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, the company employs 1,356 people and maintains approximately 600 tons of germanium reserves with an annual production capacity of 47.6 tons for material-grade products like germanium ingots. In recent developments, its subsidiary Yunnan Xinyao Semiconductors Co., Ltd. completed a capital increase in November 2024 involving the parent company's investment of approximately 0.191 billion yuan and plans a further 0.4 billion yuan capital raise in December 2024 by introducing strategic investors Shenzhen Venture Capital Manufacturing Industry Transformation and Upgrading New Materials Fund (25% stake) and Shenzhen Yuan Zhi Xing Huo Private Equity Investment Fund Partnership (8.33% stake) to fund research, development, production operations, factory purchases, and equipment acquisitions while the parent retains about 56% equity and actual control; additionally, the company completed the acquisition of an additional 10.87% stake in Yunnan Xinyao Semiconductor Materials Co., Ltd., bolstering its semiconductor materials segment amid rising germanium prices that doubled in 2024, driving Q3 net income to surpass the prior decade's total.
