Introduction: BeeTech’s Strategic Acquisition Plan
On September 2, Beijing BeeTech Co., Ltd. (“BeeTech”) announced a strategic plan to acquire Beijing Chuangshiweina Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chuangshiweina”). This acquisition will be conducted in two phases, aiming to strengthen BeeTech’s position in the Micro LED and advanced materials sectors.
Step 1: Initial Equity Acquisition
The first step involves BeeTech acquiring approximately 10% of Chuangshiweina’s equity in 2024 through a capital increase. Once this transaction is completed, Chuangshiweina will become an associate company of BeeTech. This initial investment lays the foundation for deeper integration between the two companies.
Step 2: Majority Stake Acquisition
In the second step, planned for 2025, BeeTech will acquire an additional 55% equity in Chuangshiweina. This acquisition will be achieved through a combination of share issuance and cash payments, contingent on Chuangshiweina meeting its 2024 performance commitments. After this transaction, Chuangshiweina will become a subsidiary under BeeTech’s control, giving BeeTech substantial authority over its operations and strategic direction.
Chuangshiweina’s Expertise in Micron-Nano Coating and Etching
Chuangshiweina, with over 15 years of experience, brings significant expertise in micron-nano coating and etching technologies. The company’s product portfolio includes:
- Coating machines, etching machines, and other vacuum equipment that meet the diverse needs of various film systems and etching profiles.
- Highly standardized and integrated research equipment.
- Production machinery that is efficient, stable, and material-conserving.
These products have been successfully applied across multiple industries, including semiconductors, microelectronics, optoelectronics, new materials, aerospace, communications, and nuclear energy.
BeeTech’s Background and Technological Expertise
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Beijing, BeeTech was listed on the ChiNext board in 2017. The company specializes in:
- Intelligent sensors and optoelectronic instruments.
- System solutions and application services.
BeeTech’s portfolio includes self-developed products such as wireless sensor networks, metallized optical fibers, MEMS pressure sensor chips, grating spectrometers, fluorescence spectrometers, Raman spectrometers, precision displacement control units, and color evaluation systems for OLED/LCD display devices. These products have achieved high technical standards domestically, with some meeting international benchmarks.
Strategic Rationale for the Acquisition
BeeTech explained that the acquisition of Chuangshiweina will diversify its offerings in research and advanced manufacturing sectors. The acquisition will also bolster BeeTech’s position in semiconductors, optoelectronics, and aerospace. The company has already established a strong customer base in new material characterization and specialty materials. Additionally, BeeTech is expanding into measurement and testing for third-generation semiconductors, Micro LED devices, and perovskite photovoltaic materials.
Integration Benefits
By integrating with Chuangshiweina, BeeTech aims to:
- Capture opportunities for localizing equipment and core component production.
- Enter the material preparation segment more deeply.
- Accelerate its industrial layout.
- Enhance resource integration.
- Capture opportunities for localizing equipment and core component production.
Expanding in Semiconductor and Optoelectronic Measurement
BeeTech’s semi-annual report for 2024, released on August 28, highlighted the expansion of its semiconductor optoelectronic measurement and testing business. The company has been broadening its product and application portfolio by building on its existing lines of photoelectric effect, fluorescence, and Raman products. The focus areas include:
- Research into new material mechanisms.
- Device characterization.
- Wafer inspection.
- Photolithography processes.
- Thin-film deposition measurement and testing.
Addressing Gaps in Micro LED and New Photovoltaic Materials
In areas like third-generation semiconductors (such as SiC, GaN, AlN), Micro LEDs, and new photovoltaic materials like perovskite, traditional Si wafer measurement and detection methods have limitations. These methods fall short in providing wafer-level, non-destructive, and rapid testing for parameters such as composition, internal stress, carrier concentration, and luminescence uniformity.
BeeTech is addressing these gaps with innovative technologies, including:
- Wide-field fluorescence imaging.
- Confocal photoluminescence spectroscopy.
- Confocal Raman spectroscopy.
- Spectral responsivity.
Conclusion: Seizing Growth Opportunities Through Strategic Integration
BeeTech’s acquisition of Chuangshiweina represents a strategic move to enhance its capabilities in Micro LED technology, semiconductor measurement, and advanced materials. By leveraging Chuangshiweina’s expertise in micron-nano coating and etching, BeeTech aims to:
- Deepen its market penetration.
- Accelerate its industrial footprint.
- Capitalize on opportunities in localizing equipment production.
This acquisition aligns with BeeTech’s broader strategy to maintain its competitive edge in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
