Last week, we came to FJHuateng, located in Datian County, Sanming City, Fujian Province.Since its establishment in 2018, FJHuateng has been focusing on the research, development and production of core materials for optical communications such as C-LENS, prisms and collimators. After four years of member cooperation, the editor came to FJHuateng for the first time, and was honored to be warmly received by General Manager ——Chen Changteng,and exchanged views on the current C-LENS market.

Production capacity expansion to cope with the market demand

As soon as we arrived at the company, we felt a busy scene. “Currently, we are facing unprecedented market heat, customer demand surge, delivery time has become our primary response to the challenge.” Mr. Chen said that enterprises do not have orders to worry, have orders to worry more, in the face of such a market situation, the company's original 2300 square meters of plant has been difficult to meet the production demand, so the new expansion of 2200 square meters of the new plant, is currently in the tense and orderly production debugging stage, is expected to be put into production in October. ”

Based on Clens technology, empowering the development of AI optical modules

As an enterprise that started in the C-LENS market segment, FJHuateng was not eager to build its own brand at first. After the short-lived shortage of C-LENS 5G wave in 2020, it ushered in a prolonged off-season, and has been looking for new application markets for lenses. This year, with the rise of AI technology, especially in the field of 400G/800G high-speed optical modules, the key role of Clens lenses and prisms in long-distance transmission is becoming increasingly prominent, bringing unprecedented development opportunities for the company.

“From the client's understanding, we see the lens in the access network optical module and AI optical module will bring new demand, the future, passive and active technology integration trend is more and more obvious, which puts forward higher requirements for the enterprise. fjHuateng in the deep cultivation of passive lens technology at the same time, but also actively learn the active technology knowledge, is committed to cultivate both passive and active understanding of the composite talent, so as to truly solve the pain points of customers. We hope to find new application areas for lens technology through such progress.”

From single product to diversified product development Layout of the future

FJHuateng is positioned as an optical communication material company, providing Clens lens products for the optical communication industry, with a monthly shipment of 1.3 million pieces, and is currently a larger CLENS manufacturer, CLENS price is not high while the market fluctuates, the production is completely manual to realize the production capacity on the amount of difficulty is extremely high, the company is currently producing at full capacity, and want to expand the production by one times is very difficult, 1. At present, the company is producing at full capacity, and it is very difficult to expand the production by one times, 1, the training cycle of the personnel is long; 2, the production process of the lens is very complicated, and the core process is difficult to be realized by automation. How to effectively solve the rapid breakthrough in production capacity is the pain point of the whole industry, Mr. Chen shared.

Talking about the future development, Mr. Chen said, “Since this year, we have added the coating project to realize the closed-loop production of C-lens, Prism, Pigtail, Collimator, etc. to improve the delivery cycle and better quality control, and at the same time, we have completed the expansion of the production workshop for new products such as collimators, collimation components and adapters which are mainly used for coaxial collimators and light engines. These products not only can effectively solve customers' problems, but also help the company diversify its product development. We are also actively developing the application of optical lenses and prisms in the military and medical market sectors, striving to form a layout in a multi-disciplinary range and enhance the market in the field of optical communication materials.”

With six years of accumulation, FJHuateng is writing their own brilliant chapter with Clens lens technology as the core, applying AI long distance optical module market.
