China's Leading High-End Equipment Manufacturer Advances International Cooperation in Nuclear Fusion Energy
SHANGHAI, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727) has recently announced several key milestones in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, including the delivery of the world's largest toroidal field coil case and the successful arrival of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project's magnet cold-test cryostat equipment at the site in France.
The achievements underscore the technological prowess of Chinese enterprises in advancing global fusion energy collaboration and add new momentum to the worldwide shift toward clean energy.
"As a pioneer in China's high‑end equipment manufacturing, Shanghai Electric is committed to advancing fusion energy through technological innovation and international collaboration. We will continue to leverage our core strengths in extreme manufacturing and engineering integration to provide solid support for major global scientific projects such as ITER, helping humanity achieve the grand goal of clean energy," said Wu Lei, Chairman of Shanghai Electric Group.
The latest technology deliveries not only mark breakthroughs for China in manufacturing core fusion components, but also further solidify the country's role in the global fusion research supply chain.
In October, the magnet cold‑test cryostat equipment, jointly manufactured by Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group and the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), arrived by sea at France's Port of Marseille before being slowly transported, at walking speed, over 70 kilometers inland to the ITER Organization site in Cadarache. As one of the seven main members of the ITER project, China is working with international partners to advance fusion technology from the laboratory toward commercialization.
The joint team from Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group overcame strict ITER site constraints—height, weight, and width—completing manufacturing in just 11 months. They achieved millimeter‑level forming of large contoured surfaces, anti‑deformation assembly and welding of large shells and large‑diameter flat flanges, and first‑pass vacuum pumping and helium leak testing of an ultra‑large vessel—setting international benchmarks for millimeter‑level deformation control and high‑vacuum sealing at 10⁻⁴ mbar.
As the world's largest and most influential international mega‑science project, ITER brings together the combined efforts of more than 30 countries, including the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the United States, and China, with the goal to achieve large‑scale fusion reactions and move toward the stable and controllable release of energy.
Meanwhile, the world's largest toroidal field (TF) coil case, jointly developed by Shanghai Electric and ASIPP, was delivered to the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology (CRAFT) in Hefei. Fabricated entirely from austenitic stainless steel, it measures 21 meters tall and 12 meters wide, weighs about 400 tons, and is over 1.2 times larger—and roughly twice as heavy—as the equivalent ITER component.
At the IAEA World Fusion Energy Group ministerial and the 30th Fusion Energy Conference on October 14 in Chengdu, Shanghai Electric highlighted two decades of fusion equipment achievements—spanning EAST, CRAFT, BEST, HT‑6M, and HL‑1—and its industry‑leading system solutions, drawing strong global interest and underscoring fusion's role in tackling climate change and future energy demand.
Over the years, Shanghai Electric has tackled key technical challenges in fusion material research, mega‑ampere hydrogen boron fusion, and high‑frequency laser deep‑penetration welding. These advances enhanced the performance of fusion devices under extreme conditions and provided replicable solutions, valuable experiences, and technological strength to global fusion research.

Pioneering Nuclear Fusion Energy Innovation for Two Decades: Shanghai Electric Empowers Global CRAFT and ITER Projects, Driving a Sustainable Future for Earth
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in 1991, ANTA Sports Products Limited has built a robust multi-brand portfolio over the past three decades. Today, it stands among the world' top three sportswear companies. Staying true to its mission of "bring the transcendent sports spirit into everyone's life," ANTA is committed to delivering high-quality products and services to people around the world who embrace diverse athletic pursuits, while steadily advancing its global expansion.
From December 2–4, 2025, ANTA Running makes its inaugural appearance at The Running Event (TRE), a premier conference and trade show for the running and outdoor specialty retail industry in North America. The brand showcases its professional running lineup to a global audience of leading brands, manufacturers, retailers, and industry experts. It also presents special colorways deeply rooted in runner culture, highlighting its commitment to engaging with the core running community.
For its TRE debut, ANTA brought a comprehensive suite of elite racing products powered by ANTA Nitrogen Tech. At the core is the C-series racing family: the ANTA C202 7, ANTA C202 G9 2, and ANTA C10 PRO 2. All three carbon-plated racing models strike a balance between high rebound rate and lightweight performance for runners of all levels. Also featured is the "ANTA ZONE 2 90", recently worn by the first torchbearer of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Equipped with full-length ANTA Nitrogen 90 Tech, the shoe enables seamless transitions between daily training and race-day efforts, giving runners access to premium rebound performance.
In the daily run category, ANTA presented the technology behind its next-generation cushioning platform: PG7 midsole technology. The ANTA PG7 running shoes, available in a range of colors, incorporate this advanced cushioning platform to meet the everyday needs of the running community.
A specially curated "Color Story Zone" highlighted designs rooted in runners' real stories and cultural inspirations. Making its global debut at TRE, ANTA C-Series "Awaken" colorway symbolizes good fortune and forward momentum. On December 3, ANTA Brand CEO Samuel Tsui, ANTA Running Ambassador Kenenisa Bekele and other core leadership members visit the booth for a traditional "Eye-Dotting Ceremony" to "AWAKEN" the lion, a cultural ritual wishing runners strength, victory, and continual self-breakthrough when they race in ANTA's C-Series footwear.
This culturally rich ceremony drew strong interest from attendees. Many lined up to try on the special-edition model, showing keen interest in the unique symbolism of the "Awaken" colorway. The blessings conveyed through this special colorway will soon return to its spiritual home, Guangzhou, where ANTA will support the Guangzhou Marathon in December, channeling its energy to thousands of marathon participants.
ANTA's global expansion efforts have yielded notable results in recent years, including signing endorsement deals with NBA stars like Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, as well as Olympic champions across various sports. In professional running, long-distance legend Kenenisa Bekele broke the masters (40+) marathon world record wearing the ANTA C10 PRO. ANTA has also deepened its engagement with running communities worldwide. In 2025, it launched "ANTA PG7 Cushion Evolution Global Plan", uniting runners from Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston to foster a global running community. The upcoming Beverly Hills store in Los Angeles will further expand global consumer access to and awareness of ANTA.
Aspiring to bring ANTA to the world, starting with running, ANTA Running invites runners everywhere, ANTA Running invites runners everywhere to experience its ANTA Nitrogen Tech and rediscover the joy of running. For product details, click: http://anta.com
