On March 21, 2025, HKC's seventh integrated production base in Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone was officially inaugurated, marking a high-quality and efficient construction period of just 180 days that showcases "HKC Efficiency." The establishment of the Zhengzhou base represents a critical component of HKC's strategic layout, effectively radiating influence across central and western China, optimizing its industrial chain, enhancing the core competitiveness of HKC's display industry, and filling a critical gap in Zhengzhou's TV manufacturing sector. This move is expected to inject strong momentum into regional economic development.
Mr. He Huailiang, Vice President of HKC IOT-A, attended the ceremony and announced its launch. Other attendees included Luo Pingfeng, General Manager of HKC's Integrated Manufacturing Division; Ding Liangbin, Quality Director; and leaders from Henan Airport Economic Zone Party Committee, Bank of Communications Henan Branch, Shanghai Baoye Group Co., Ltd., and other relevant organizations.
During the event, Mr. He delivered a speech on behalf of HKC, stating: "Since construction commenced on September 18 last year, we have completed the entire process from groundbreaking to production in just 180 days, setting a new industry record. As an intelligent smart factory, it features complex designs, large single-floor areas, high construction difficulty, intricate process pipelines, and stringent management requirements. Yet, we adhered to the 'zero-accident, high-quality' standard to build the world's largest single-site intelligent manufacturing base in the TV industry. This inauguration ceremony marks not only the starting point for Zhengzhou HKC Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. but also a new journey toward becoming a 'global display industry ecosystem builder.' We will take this opportunity to jointly compose a magnificent chapter in the high-quality development of China's display industry."
The Zhengzhou HKC base spans approximately 1,253 acres, with construction divided into two phases. The first phase of the project involves an investment of around 3 billion yuan across 300 acres, dedicated to building ultra-high-definition display modules and integrated production lines. Upon reaching full capacity, the annual output value is projected to reach 8 billion yuan. Designed as the largest single production facility in the TV industry, the project is praised as a "super factory" for its highly integrated supporting facilities and advanced automation levels, establishing a new industry benchmark.
Technological innovation lies at the core of Zhengzhou HKC's competitiveness. On the production line front, a dual-testing line design and a modular architecture supplying two integrated assembly lines are adopted. This not only reduces construction costs for line bodies and clean rooms but also enables compatibility with multi-size products, maximizing production efficiency.
In terms of automation, 13 high-efficiency lines are deployed on a single floor, with nearly 60% of processes automated, significantly enhancing efficiency and precision. This makes the facility a model for intelligent manufacturing!
Furthermore, the surrounding industrial chain is comprehensively integrated, incorporating injection molding, die-cutting, metalworking, foam packaging, and other sectors. This forms a highly vertically integrated ecosystem, empowering intelligent manufacturing and leading new industry standards.
As a global leader in the display industry, HKC has invested in four 8.6-generation production lines and seven display terminal manufacturing bases across ten cities, including Chongqing, Mianyang, Changsha, and Zhengzhou. This establishes a full industrial chain from display panels to terminal devices. Notably, HKC holds leading positions in large-size TV panels and OEM manufacturing, ranking first globally in shipments of 85-inch and 100-inch LCD TV panels, as well as ultra-large-size OEM shipments above 85 inches in 2024. Beyond TVs, HKC's display technologies are expanding into monitors, smartphones, laptops, automotive displays, tablets, and other fields, driving the industry toward ultra-high-definition, intelligence, and scenario-based upgrades.
The inauguration of the Zhengzhou HKC Super Factory marks a new milestone in HKC's display industry layout. Simultaneously, through dual-wheel drive of technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing upgrades, it provides fresh impetus for the high-quality development of the global display industry.
