Mingjun Bai — Founder & Author, TAIC

Mingjun Bai is the founder of TAIC and the author of the TAIC titanium drinkware guides. An aerospace engineer by training, he has spent three decades working with high-performance metals and vacuum-insulation technology.

From vacuum flasks to pure titanium

Mingjun began in insulated drinkware in 1994, building a vacuum-flask business under what became the Noble Group. Convinced that titanium’s biocompatibility and taste-neutrality made it the ideal material for drinking vessels, he spent years studying titanium fabrication in Japan and the United Kingdom. In 2016 he launched the first TAIC pure-titanium flask and founded the TAIC brand.

Expertise

• Aerospace engineering background; three decades in vacuum-insulation and metal drinkware.
• Pioneer of TAIC’s Ti-Anox structural-colour process — colour grown into the titanium oxide layer, with no paint, dye or coating.
• Leads a titanium specialist manufacturer whose work has earned an iF Design Award and SGS-verified 99.8% pure-titanium testing.

Why he writes these guides

Mingjun writes the TAIC guides to give drinkware buyers accurate, first-hand information about titanium — how it performs, how to tell genuine pure titanium from coated imitations, and how to care for it — drawn from making it every day rather than marketing it.
