1. Company Overview

Company name: Shanghai ELE Mechanical & Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd.
Founded: investment and plant established in Shanghai in 1996
Headquarters: Qingpu Industrial Park, Shanghai, China
Business areas: fluid stirring/dispersion/grinding/emulsification equipment (horizontal sand mills, high-speed dispersers, planetary mixers, etc.)
Overseas collaboration: adopted Swiss precision-machining technology

2. History and Workforce

Entered the Chinese market in 1996, establishing investment and a plant in Shanghai, and has since grown into a global manufacturing/service center for ELE-brand products. The company combined Swiss precision-machining technology with a global parts-sourcing system to establish its position in precision-chemical fields such as coatings, inks, and dyes. Per the company website, the production facility is located at No. 11 Songfu Road, Qingpu Industrial Zone, Shanghai, and the company states it benefits from good logistics access due to its proximity to Hongqiao International Airport.

The company aims to be a global manufacturing center integrating development, production, sales, and service. Detailed organizational/workforce composition is (undisclosed). The company’s technical-support page notes that, leveraging its location near Hongqiao International Airport, customers can visit the plant directly via expressways toward Shanghai and Changzhou for equipment demonstrations, technical consultation, and commercial discussions.

3. Core Technology and Key Equipment

The company’s core offerings are horizontal sand mills, basket-type mills, high-shear emulsifiers, and high-speed dispersers, and it explicitly names lithium-battery materials, nanomaterials, graphene, and carbon materials as application fields. The company states it holds proprietary patented technology and offers a service in which customers can bring actual materials for laboratory trial grinding to pre-verify optimal process conditions. Beyond lithium-battery materials, nanomaterials, and graphene, the company also lists precision dispersion equipment for pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications among its stated application areas.

  • Horizontal sand mill (nano-scale grinding)
  • Basket-type mill
  • High-shear emulsification/homogenization equipment
  • High-speed disperser, powder-stirring equipment
  • Dual planetary power mixer/stirrer
  • Three-roll mill
  • Vacuum disperser

As a general point, horizontal sand mills and three-roll mills are principle-wise similar to the equipment commonly used for pre-dispersing conductive materials and binders in battery mixing processes. However, the application areas Shanghai ELE states are broadly across fine chemicals such as coatings and inks, and the company does not separately disclose battery-specific models or process data, so applying its equipment to battery slurry processes would require separate verification tailored to the material properties involved (estimated).

4. Production Infrastructure and Quality Assurance

Production facilities are located at the Qingpu Industrial Park in Shanghai, and the company exports CE-certified products. Specific factory floor area and capacity figures are (undisclosed). The company’s technical-support page states it maintains in-house precision machining equipment — lathes, drill presses, mills, saws, grinders, boring machines, and welders — enabling integrated in-house control from component machining through assembly, quality inspection, and shipping.

5. Track Record and Partnerships

The company describes itself as established in the coatings, inks, dyes, and oil/water emulsification fields, and also explicitly lists lithium-battery materials, nanomaterials, graphene, and carbon materials as product-application categories. Individual battery-customer names are (undisclosed). The company website states it also offers a custom production-line design service tailored to a given customer’s material properties and production requirements.

6. Financial Status and Roadmap

As a privately held company, revenue and other financial figures are (undisclosed).

The company describes developing its products to improve color/material changeover efficiency on its grinding equipment, addressing the precision-chemical industry’s need for low-volume, high-mix, short-lead-time production.
