Founded in 2023 in Ningbo, China—a coastal hub renowned for advanced manufacturing—Kyhe Technology stepped onto the global stage with a singular mission: to democratize high-performance titanium alloys by making them accessible, affordable, and inherently sustainable. While our corporate journey officially began that year, the expertise driving Kyhe traces back over a decade, anchored in the leadership of Dr. Zhang Haoyin and his core team. These are not just materials scientists; they are pioneers in titanium powder metallurgy, with doctorates from Germany’s Helmholtz Institute (a world leader in materials research) and hands-on experience delivering industry-first titanium components to global tech giants like Apple and Samsung. Their work in the 2010s laid the groundwork for what would become Kyhe’s revolutionary approach to titanium production.
2021-2022: Laying the Groundwork—From Lab to Real World
Before Kyhe’s formal incorporation, Dr. Zhang’s team achieved a breakthrough that shattered titanium’s “niche material” stigma: scaling Metal Injection Molding (MIM) for titanium to meet mass-market demands. For decades, titanium’s unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance made it indispensable in aerospace and defense, but its high production costs kept it out of consumer goods. The team changed that by engineering titanium components—including ultra-durable hinges for Microsoft’s HoloLens and precision camera enclosures for Huawei’s flagship smartphones—that performed better than aluminum while being lighter. These projects weren’t just technical wins; they revealed a $50 billion market gap: industries craved titanium’s benefits but needed solutions that were cost-effective and eco-friendly. By 2022, the team had secured $2 million in seed funding from Ningbo’s tech incubator program, a vote of confidence in their vision.
2023: Technology Breakthrough—The DH-S® Revolution
Kyhe’s launch in 2023 was timed to coincide with the commercialization of our proprietary DH-S® (Dehydrogenation Spheroidal) technology—a innovation that reimagined every step of titanium powder production. Traditional methods rely on virgin titanium ore, a resource-intensive process that generates 20 tons of waste per ton of usable material. DH-S® flipped this script by using 100% recycled feedstock: CNC machining scrap, low-grade coarse powder, and even discarded aerospace components. This not only eliminated waste but also cut raw material costs by 40-60%. The technology’s precision was equally groundbreaking: it produced spherical titanium powders with adjustable particle sizes (0-53μm), compatible with both MIM and 3D printing, with a 92% yield efficiency—far above the industry average of 65%. Independent testing confirmed the powder exceeded ASTM standards for tensile strength and purity, making it suitable for medical implants. Backed by $15 million in Series A funding (led by Sequoia China) and municipal support, we opened a 9,500 m² R&D and production facility in Xiangshan, employing 120 engineers and technicians by year’s end.
2024: Setting Global Standards—Certification and Scale
2024 marked Kyhe’s ascent as a global leader when we became the first titanium powder producer to earn the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification. This rigorous credential validated our closed-loop process, from collecting scrap to delivering certified powder, and opened doors to partners like Johnson & Johnson, which requires GRS compliance for medical materials. Our intellectual property portfolio expanded to 35 patent filings (15 granted), covering critical innovations in oxygen control (a key factor in titanium’s biocompatibility) and alloy customization (tailoring powders for specific uses, like heat-resistant alloys for EV batteries). Production scaled to 500 tons annually—enough to supply 30% of Asia’s consumer electronics titanium demand—and we forged partnerships with medical device makers like Medtronic, which began using our powder for orthopedic screws. By year’s end, Kyhe reported $8 million in revenue, a testament to our ability to turn innovation into real-world impact.
2025: Accelerating Impact—End-to-End Solutions
In 2025, Kyhe’s GRS-certified powders are powering next-generation products across sectors. What sets us apart is our end-to-end service: we don’t just sell powder—we collaborate with clients to develop custom alloys, optimize manufacturing processes, and validate final components. For a California-based startup building wearable health monitors, this meant reducing their R&D cycle from 18 months to 9 by co-developing a lightweight, hypoallergenic titanium powder. For a European automotive supplier, we tailored a heat-resistant alloy that cut EV battery casing weight by 25%. These partnerships have made Kyhe a trusted name in industries where performance and sustainability can’t be compromised.
The Road Ahead—Innovating for Tomorrow
With titanium demand projected to grow 7% annually through 2030 (driven by EVs and renewable energy), Kyhe is doubling down on innovation. Our medical team is developing bioactive titanium coatings that bond directly with bone, eliminating the need for cement in implants and reducing patient recovery time. On the sustainability front, we’re partnering with aerospace companies to recycle 100% of their titanium scrap, targeting an 80% reduction in supply chain waste by 2027. We’re also expanding our facility to 20,000 m², aiming for 1,200 tons of annual production by 2026. Kyhe’s mission has never been clearer: to turn titanium from a premium material into a mainstream, sustainable resource. In doing so, we’re not just building a company—we’re empowering industries to build a lighter, stronger, and greener future for everyone.
