Shanghai Pret (May 5 Evening Announcement) – The company’s subsidiary, Guangdong Haistar Sodium Star Technology Co., Ltd., has recently secured a major sodium-ion battery procurement order from an overseas client. The two parties have entered into a strategic supply agreement for Haistar Sodium Star’s sodium-ion battery product line. The customer has committed to purchasing no less than 1GWh of sodium-ion battery modules over the next four years, primarily for residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and telecom applications. Deliveries are scheduled to take place in batches between July 2025 and December 2029.
Amid the rapid growth of the new energy sector, the development and industrialization of next-generation batteries have become a critical pathway. Sodium-ion batteries, with advantages such as abundant resources, enhanced safety, wide temperature tolerance, and cost competitiveness, are poised for broad adoption in energy storage systems, start-stop power supplies, data centers, functional vehicles, and base station backup power.
Haistar Sodium Star is a leading manufacturer of sodium-ion cells and battery packs, while the client is a specialized provider of energy solutions for overseas residential, C&I, and telecom markets. The two parties aim to establish a long-term strategic partnership in sodium-ion battery supply.
The sodium-ion batteries covered under this order adopt Haistar’s polyanion cathode system, which offers structural stability, high safety, low cost, extreme temperature resistance, high-rate capability, and environmental friendliness.
This strategic supply agreement marks Haistar Sodium Star’s entry into a phase of sustained large-scale order acquisition and product deployment. The client also represents one of many downstream sectors for the company’s sodium-ion battery business. As validation processes accelerate among other customers, the company expects a continued increase in sodium-ion battery orders. This deal is set to significantly strengthen Haistar’s market position in the sodium-ion battery industry while delivering a positive impact on Pret’s new energy segment performance.
