Kuntai Maglev

Kuntai Maglev (杭州昆泰磁悬浮技术有限公司) is a Hangzhou-based high-tech company founded in 2022 that develops micro-specialty magnetic levitation technology and applications . Its core team traces back to a Beihang University academic group with nearly two decades of R&D experience, and its current technical staff of 80-plus includes more than half at the doctoral or post-doctoral level .

The company positions itself as a global leader in micro-specialty maglev application solutions, with a proprietary technology platform it claims is uniquely mass-producible worldwide . Its product line spans maglev molecular pumps, hydrogen circulation pumps, and textile-spinning motors, with the molecular pump series — models from KTP-90 to KTP-4500 — targeting semiconductor and display manufacturing where it says it has become the only domestic supplier meeting industry specifications . The maglev molecular pump market in China, previously dominated by five foreign brands with less than 5% domestic substitution, is described by the company as a "ten-billion-yuan track" .

Kuntai has raised at least two disclosed rounds: a Series A led by BlueRun Ventures in 2024 with participation from Jingya Venture Capital and Hangzhou Jinyi Investment , and an A++ round in mid-2025 led by Tianjin Xianzhilian (a fund backed by BOE) with BlueRun Ventures continuing to invest . Founder Zhang Yin has framed the company's mission partly in terms of breaking foreign "chokepoint" monopolies and supporting China's dual-carbon strategy .
