I am surprised to see that the Chinese version of the liquidmetal site mentions Lugee's company maze umbrella, if I were a normal investor or engineer with not much knowledge of liquidmetal I would be very confused with the amount of companies listed in the about page, why not just keep it simple and not refer to Shenzhen Limei Metal Glass Technology Co, or Hong Kong Liquidmetal Co. Even as a LQMT investor, I still do not fully comprehend the whole of this maze. Maybe one day I can read a full case study about how Lugee successfully made LQMT a multi-billion dollar company :);
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. was founded in California in 1987 and successfully listed on NASDAQ in 2002. LQMT is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and product development of liquid metal (also known as bulk amorphous, bulk amorphous) materials. It is one of the pioneers and important driving forces in the research and development and commercialization of liquid metal materials. The products cover coatings, powders, blocks and composites, covering consumer electronics, sports products, luxury goods, medical products, industrial coatings and powder products, and military products.
LQMT has a strong R&D team. The main core R&D staff are William Johnson, PH.D., professor of the California Institute of Technology, and Merton Flemings, professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, PH.D., professor of Stanford University, William Nix, PH.D. Professor Michael Ashby of Cambridge University, UK, PH.D., etc. At present, Liquidmetal has more than 100 patents in the liquid metal field, including more than 70 US patents, covering liquid metal alloy composition, processing and application processes. The most striking thing is that on August 5, 2010, Apple Inc. officially announced that it has bought out the global exclusive use rights of LQMT's amorphous alloy products in the field of consumer electronics. LQMT's stock skyrocketed 80% overnight.
In November 2016, Li Yangde-controlled Liquid Metal Co., Ltd. increased its capital to LQMT to about 46%. Li Yangde became the chairman of LQMT, marking the continued acceleration of Chinese companies in the process of amorphous internationalization.
In order to further accelerate the industrialization and internationalization of domestic enterprises in the amorphous industry, at the same time bring the advantages of equipment, process, mold design and processing, cost, product complexity and large size in the domestic liquid metal industrialization. LQMT assists LQMT in establishing a production base in the United States. At the same time, LQMT promotes the application of liquid metal in various industries and fields such as consumer electronics, automotive industry, medical equipment and sporting goods with the international popularity and influence of LQMT.
In February 2017, Shenzhen Limei Metal Glass Technology Co., Ltd. was established in Shenzhen. Shenzhen Limei Metal Glass Technology Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Liquid Metal Co., Ltd., which is mainly responsible for the technical development of metal glass and its products. , technical services, business import and export business, intellectual property agency, intellectual property information consultation.
