These days, the outdoor temperature is close to freezing, but the production line of Shanghai Chaoqun Testing Technology Co., Ltd. in Jiuting Town is in full swing, and workers are busy producing and testing related products. "Our security X-ray tube products have the world's largest market share, 85% of sales are exports, and the products have been exported to Europe, the United States, Japan, Brazil and other countries or regions, and the world's top five security equipment manufacturers are our customers. Dr. Tang Zhihong, chairman of Shanghai Chaoqun Testing Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters.
The X-ray source and X-ray tube for Shanghai superior security inspection have already entered the certification products of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), serving the world's major airports and high-speed rail stations, and participating in ensuring the safety of various Olympic Games, World Cup football matches and other events. According to relevant data, the global market share of Shanghai superior security X-ray tube has exceeded 50%. This also means that when passengers pass through the security screening equipment of major airports around the world, there is a high probability that the core component of the security X-ray tube will come from Songjiang. What's even more gratifying is that in 2023, the development and application project of high-performance and high-reliability X-ray tubes led by Shanghai Chaoqun will be listed as one of the 19 landmark achievements of the "13th Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
"The 'sharp eyes' of the security inspection equipment are all achieved by X-rays, which penetrate various components and densities, and reflect the internal structure of the package on the phosphor screen in the form of images through signal conversion, so that the security inspectors can directly observe, analyze, and judge the internal structure of the package through the phosphor screen without unpacking, and check out the prohibited items. Shanghai Chaoqun relevant technical personnel told reporters.
In 2001, Tang Zhihong founded Shanghai Chaoqun, and in 2022, after many comparisons, he chose to settle in Songjiang Jiuting, and after 22 years of development, the company has grown into a leading enterprise in the industry. "The development and growth of enterprises are inseparable from the interpretation and layout of various government policies, and with the reasonable guidance and effective support of the government, we will have more confidence in development and a more stable pace. Tang Zhihong said.
In 2020, relying on the advantages of the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai Chaoqun set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, and established Huzhou Chaoqun Testing Technology Co., Ltd. to enter the industrial non-destructive testing equipment market, breaking the long-term monopoly of foreign countries on core components X-ray tubes and X-ray generators, and helping manufacturing enterprises develop with high quality.
