About Beixu / 北旭电子

Beixu Electronic Materials (BAE), founded in 1993, operates as a technology-focused enterprise in China's material sciences sector. The company originated as a joint venture between BOE Technology Group and Japanese firms including Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., Marubeni Corporation, and Kyoei Shoji Co., Ltd. A significant milestone occurred in 2008 when BOE acquired all Japanese shares, making BAE a wholly-owned subsidiary and renaming it Beijing Beixu Electronic Glass Co., Ltd. Reflecting a shift in its primary business, the company was renamed Beijing Beixu Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. in 2014. In a major ownership change, BOE transferred 100% of its equity in Beixu Electronics in 2020 to a consortium led by TNC new materials, for a price of 425 million yuan. The current chairman is Lukun Jun.

The core business of Beixu Electronic Materials revolves around the development and production of organic positive photoresists and special inorganic powder materials.

In December 2020 and May 2022, the company secured equity financing, with the latter round amounting to 197 million RMB from TNC.
