E-One Moli Energy will be in mass production by this month


E-One Moli Energy will become the first Cell maker in mass production in Taiwan by the end of June this year. In the preliminary mass production stage, the productivity is still far short from the average 1.5 million output level that of the tier-one cell makers. At this phase of mass production, E-One Energy will only focus on the replacement cell market, and by the 2nd production line is ready, E-One Energy should gain quality certifications form many Mobile phone manufacturers.
 
E-One Moli Energy points out that, though many believes the Lithium-ion cell making business is highly profitable, it is only true for name brand Japanese or cell makers with paten and brand advantages. As for the inferior cell makers in Korea or America, the margin is actually quite unattractive. So as the new comers in this market, Taiwanese company will most likely experience the same drawback as those Korea or America cell makers; so that’s why E-One insists on start up with the replicable cell market to ensure profitability from the start.
 

E-One Moli Energy indicates that the mobile phone makers like Motorola normally places minimum order quantity of least 1.5milliom units to acquire economy of scale, it is next to impossible for E-One Moli Energy at this point to take up that kind of order. However, E-One Moli Energy will keep on submitting samples for qualification, after the second production line is operational and with the right timing- fight for official OEM orders.
