According to data from Tianyancha, Dong Mingzhu has officially stepped down from her roles as the legal representative and chairwoman of the company. Her position is now taken over by Li Shaobin. Meanwhile, Dong has transitioned to serve as a director and manager responsible for corporate affairs, while Tan Jianming has exited the board.
近日,格力电器旗下专注于芯片业务的珠海零边界集成电路有限公司迎来了高层人事调整。据天眼查数据显示,董明珠已正式卸任该公司的法定代表人及董事长职务,这一职位现由李绍斌接任。同时,董明珠的职务也转变为执行公司事务的董事、经理,而谭建明则退出了董事行列。
Li Shaobin, who assumed the role in April 2025, currently serves as Gree Electric’s newly appointed vice president. With rich experience in management, he has held key positions such as assistant to the minister in commercial air conditioning design and development, department minister, and assistant to the president. His in-depth understanding of Gree’s operations positions him well to lead the company’s chip ambitions forward.
李绍斌,作为格力电器的新晋副总裁,自2025年4月起担任此要职。他拥有丰富的管理经验,曾在商用空调设计与开发部门担任部长助理、部长以及总裁助理等职位,对格力电器的运营有着深入的了解。
Founded in August 2018, Zhuhai Zero Boundary is a high-tech enterprise wholly owned by Gree, with a registered capital of 1 billion RMB. As Gree’s vanguard in the chip industry, the company aims to master core semiconductor technologies and promote Gree’s independent innovation in this strategically vital sector.
珠海零边界集成电路有限公司成立于2018年8月,是格力电器全资控股的一家高科技企业,注册资本高达10亿元人民币。作为格力电器进军芯片产业的先锋部队,珠海零边界致力于掌握核心芯片技术,推动格力在半导体领域的自主创新发展。
The company’s core business spans R&D and sales of integrated circuits and semiconductor products. From custom design origins, it has evolved into a full-spectrum service provider integrating industrial-grade 32-bit MCUs, AIoT SoC chips, power devices, software solutions, systems applications, production quality, and market distribution. As of the end of 2022, it had shipped over 100 million chips cumulatively, with an annual average shipment of 36 million units—showcasing its robust market presence.
珠海零边界的主营业务涵盖集成电路及半导体产品的研发与销售,从最初的定制化研发设计,逐步发展成为集工业级32位MCU、AloT Soc芯片和功率器件设计研发、软件方案、系统应用、生产质量、市场销售为一体的综合性服务供应商。截至2022年底,该公司的芯片出货量已累计超过1亿颗,年均出货量达到3600万颗,彰显了其在芯片市场的强劲实力。
In recent years, Dong Mingzhu has frequently discussed Gree’s chip strategy in public. In March 2024, she revealed that Gree was building a SiC chip factory, slated for launch in June. The facility is expected to become the world’s second-largest and Asia’s largest fully automated compound semiconductor factory. By December, she proudly declared that the chip project had succeeded, highlighting Gree’s achievements in full-stack capabilities from R&D and design to manufacturing and integration—all without any government funding.
近年来,董明珠在多个公开场合提及格力在芯片领域的布局。2024年3月,她透露格力正在筹建一座SiC芯片工厂,预计当年6月投产,并有望成为全球第二大、亚洲最大的全自动化化合物芯片工厂。同年12月,董明珠在接受采访时自豪地表示,格力芯片项目已经取得了成功,从自主研发、自主设计到自主制造,再到全产业链的整合,格力已经完成了这一壮举。她特别强调,在芯片工厂的建设过程中,格力没有依赖国家的任何资金支持。
During a recent performance briefing, Gree’s board secretary Zhang Zhuhu elaborated on the company’s semiconductor progress. Since entering the chip industry in 2015, Gree’s first-phase production capacity has reached 240,000 units annually. Its chip portfolio includes power semiconductors and integrated circuits widely used in household air conditioners, with around 30% of its chips being self-developed. These chips have also been applied in commercial air conditioning, intelligent equipment, and industrial robots—enhancing Gree’s overall competitiveness.
在最近的格力电器业绩说明会上,公司董事会秘书章周虎详细介绍了格力在芯片领域的进展。自2015年涉足芯片产业以来,格力一期规划产能已达24万片/年。目前,格力的芯片产品主要包括功率半导体产品和集成电路芯片,这些芯片已广泛应用于家用空调产品中,自研应用占比约30%。自研芯片还被成功应用于商用空调、智能装备、工业机器人等格力自营业务中,进一步提升了格力的核心竞争力。
