FGI and Tianrui Heavy Industry Forge Strategic Partnership to Expand the Magnetic Levitation Energy-Saving Industry
As China deepens its "dual carbon" strategy, industrial energy conservation becomes a core part of high-quality development. Magnetic levitation (maglev) power equipment offers clear advantages: no contact, no friction, low energy loss, low noise, and long service life. This technology is now replacing traditional mechanical drives. It has become the preferred solution for industrial energy-saving upgrades. The drive control technology of maglev motors plays a critical role in system performance.
On May 15, 2026, FGI officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shandong Tianrui Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. The two companies will combine their core strengths—FGI in power electronics and variable frequency drive technology, and Tianrui in maglev power equipment manufacturing. Together, they will focus on the high-speed maglev fan market. They will co-develop energy-efficient power equipment and smart energy systems that integrate magnetic levitation with power electronics. This partnership will support the green transformation of industry and the development of new power systems.
FGI’s Strengths:FGI is a listed company on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market) and a national "little giant" model enterprise for specialization and innovation. With over 30 years of experience in motor variable frequency speed control, FGI masters complete solutions from algorithms to hardware, and from low voltage to high voltage. The company has broken through several technological bottlenecks. It has developed a full range of high-speed motor-specific variable frequency drives.
Tianrui Heavy Industry’s Strengths:Tianrui leads China’s magnetic levitation power energy-saving technology. It hosts the secretariat of the National Technical Standardization Working Group on Magnetic Levitation Technology. Tianrui also serves as the "chain master" of the energy-saving and environmental protection equipment industry in Shandong Province. Its products have won recognition as China's "Double Top Ten" energy-saving technologies and the first batch of nationally advanced applicable technologies. The company also received the highest award at the National Disruptive Technology Innovation Competition.
Three Key Areas of Cooperation:
1. Supporting full-scenario magnetic levitation equipment
2. Jointly developing high-speed drive technology
3. Promoting market expansion across multiple sectors
Customer Feedback
Both companies lead their respective fields with deep technical expertise and strong industry influence. This partnership creates a model of complementary strengths along the magnetic levitation equipment supply chain. It will enhance product competitiveness and accelerate the adoption of maglev technology in key industries such as coal mining, cement, and papermaking. Customers are confident in the efficient energy-saving solutions that this collaboration will deliver.
Looking ahead, FGI will continue to increase R&D investment. The company aims to advance maglev drive technology toward higher performance and broader applications. This includes using wide-bandgap devices like SiC and GaN, achieving higher power and ultra-high speeds, extending to frequencies above 1500Hz, and integrating smart maintenance functions. FGI will also explore emerging fields such as nuclear power, shipbuilding, and aerospace. Together with Tianrui and other partners, FGI will drive the widespread adoption of magnetic levitation power equipment, contributing to China’s energy conservation efforts and the construction of new power systems.
