Kuai Technology reported on November 4 that according to media reports, MLCC (chip multilayer ceramic capacitors) are called the "rice of the electronics industry", with about five trillion units shipped globally every year. In today's AI era, everything from mobile phones to AI servers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars are inseparable from it. Recently, the Listing Committee of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange reviewed and approved the GEM IPO application of Weron Technology. It only took 184 days from acceptance to approval on April 28. It is worth noting that Chen Weirong, the founder of Weirong Technology, returned to his hometown to start a business at the age of 58, and rushed for an IPO at the age of 67, which brought Yunfu Luoding, a mountainous county-level city, into the capital market's horizons. Information shows that Chen Weirong was born in Luoding, Guangdong in 1959. He was admitted to the radio major of South China University of Technology in 1978. After graduation, he went to Shenzhen to join the Konka Group, starting as an ordinary technician and working his way up to the president. At the age of 35, Chen Weirong became one of the youngest heads of home appliance companies in China. At that time, he, Huang Hongsheng, the founder of Skyworth, and Li Dongsheng, the head of TCL, were known as the "Three Musketeers of China University of Technology" - three alumni of South China University of Technology, each of whom was in charge of a leading company in China's home appliance industry. After leaving Konka, 58-year-old Chen Weirong returned to his hometown with a core team and began to lay out the blueprint for the high-end capacitor industry. Why did an already successful entrepreneur suddenly start a business again? Chen Weirong believes that China’s electronic product assembly capabilities are already very strong, and it is often these basic components that are most likely to get stuck. A research report from Goldman Sachs pointed out that MLCC is already the third largest cost item in the AI ​​server bill of materials after GPU and memory chips, and the market size is expected to grow approximately 4.3 times from 2025 to 2030. According to Frost & Sullivan data, in terms of MLCC revenue in 2024, Microcontainment Technology has ranked third among manufacturers in mainland China, and ultra-miniature MLCC has ranked first in China and second in the world in terms of sales, second only to Japan's Murata. From 2023 to 2025, Werong Technology’s revenue will be 1.041 billion yuan, 1.512 billion yuan, and 1.845 billion yuan respectively, and the net profit attributable to the parent company will be 57 million yuan, 235 million yuan, and 269 million yuan respectively; the three-year average annual compound growth rate of revenue
