At present, the company's shareholder structure is led by Jingda Shares, a publicly listed company, as the largest shareholder, and the core team of SST collectively holds the second-largest share. Shanghai Venture Capital Co., Ltd., a state-owned investment platform based in Shanghai, stands as the third-largest shareholder. Other shareholders include several domestic investment institutions.

The company boasts an excellent management team and a state-of-the-art technical team. In terms of management, the core team has extensive experience in development strategy, capital operation, production  management, and marketing, capable of formulating efficient and pragmatic business development strategies and robust management systems. On the technical side, the company has gathered a large number of top talents from home and abroad in this field. The founders of the company are a team of professors from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In recent years, the team has accumulated a number of talent honors, including the National “Young Top Talent Plan”, Shanghai “Young Top Talent Plan”, Shanghai “Eastern Scholar”, “Pujiang Talent Program”, “Shanghai Rising-star Program”, “Shanghai Technology Research Learder”, and Shanghai Outstanding Engineers(Youth), forming a high-level team of scientists and equipment and process engineers to provide customers with high-quality products and services.

Over the years, the company has won numerous national and provincial honors and qualifications. In 2012, the company deeply cooperated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and jointly set up Superconductor Research Institute to conduct a comprehensive layout and systematic research on HTS technology. In 2014, Shanghai Science and Technology Commission authorized the establishment of “Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Superconductor Material and System”, with Hong Zhiyong serving as the director. In 2018, it was awarded as Shanghai Patent Pilot Enterprise. In 2020, Shanghai Key Laboratory of High-Temperature Superconductor Materials and Applications was authorized to be established, with Zhu Jiamin serving as the director. In 2021, it was awarded the national specialized and innovative “Little Giant” Enterprise, Shanghai “specialized and innovative” small and medium-sized enterprise, and Shanghai “Small Giant Technology Cultivation Enterprise”. The team of Shanghai Superconductor scientists has undertaken a number of national and Shanghai municipal science and technology research projects, such as “National Key R&D Program”, “Major Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission”, and has obtained special support from Shanghai strategic emerging industries. At the same time, the company is committed to the research and development of new technology and has obtained more than 70 independent intellectual property rights authorizations. Besides, the company has participated in the formulation of one international standard, taken the lead in the formulation of two national standards, and participated in establishing two other national standards.

The main product of the company is the second-generation high-temperature superconducting tape. The company has broken through the upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chain, providing customers with a complete set of high-quality products. It is one of the world's manufacturers capable of mass-producing and selling high-temperature superconducting tapes over 1000 kilometers annually. Verified by domestic authorities, the company’s “second-generation high-temperature superconducting tape has reached the advanced level of similar products in the world as a whole. Among them, the characteristics of low temperature and strong field, superconducting low resistance joints, optical fiber embedded superconducting tapes and monitoring technology have reached the international leading level.” Evaluated by several international authoritative organizations, the performance index of the company's tape products ranks in the top 20% globally and is significantly more cost-effective than other similar enterprises both domestically and internationally.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the stable-mass production capacity of high-quality superconducting tapes, the company has been deepening its presence in the domestic market and actively exploring the international market, constantly striving to provide a better and faster response to customer needs. On the one hand, we continue to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with many domestic universities and scientific research institutions, providing relevant units with high-performance products and scientific and technological support, and jointly exploring the development direction of the superconducting field. On the other hand, with the surge in demand for second-generation superconducting tapes in downstream industries, the company is fully committed to expanding its production line and further enhancing product quality and capacity.

SST has cultivated domestic and international users and expanded application directions through research and development of application-driven customized products. In the international market, it occupies an important position, gradually moving from engineering demonstration applications to commercial promotion, which has propelled the development of superconducting application technology in depth and breadth. The company’s domestically produced superconducting tapes have entered the stage of industrial promotion, stimulating the formation and development of a series of emerging industries such as superconducting power, superconducting energy conservation, controlled nuclear fusion, high-speed maglev transportation, and high-field magnets. SST’s second-generation high-temperature superconducting tapes have been put into the market for application, and the products have set multiple global firsts.

The company possesses a stable and diversified base of high-quality customers, having provided products or services to over 100 organizations globally. Customers are spread across major regions worldwide, including China Southern Power Grid, ASIPP(Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences), Institute of Electrical Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences, MIT-CFS, UK Tokamak Energy Company, New Zealand RRI Research Institute and other domestic and foreign enterprises and scientific research institutions. Application fields cover superconducting power, controlled nuclear fusion, high-field magnets, high-end medical equipment, high-energy physics, industrial energy conservation, and high-speed transportation. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the stable mass-production capacity of high-quality superconductors, the company has actively explored both domestic and international markets, constantly striving to provide a better and faster response to customer needs.

With a dream in mind, we adhere to the concept of sustainable development and make unremitting efforts for the country’s scientific and technological progress. We believe that the future can be even better!
