Technological Innovation and Future Outlook Starting from the original equipment processing of optical lenses, Shanghai Guanghe Optics has accumulated manufacturing technology of optical components over the years. In line with the evolution of the market, it currently focuses on three core fields: "automotive", "semiconductor" and "optics". In the professional markets such as free-form surface lenses for HUD (Head-Up Display), LiDAR, and E-Mirror, it has established overwhelming cost performance and technological advantages, ensuring first-mover benefits.
Global Expansion And Manufacturing Evolution Based on its Japanese subsidiary (Japan SKOWA Optics Co., Ltd.), the company accelerates expansion into developed markets and strives to increase global market share in new business fields. It plans to establish production bases in Southeast Asia to optimize the supply chain and enhance regional responsiveness, and continues to build a global network for manufacturing and marketing.
Digital Transformation Center (DXC) Starting from 2025, based on integrated digital platforms such as Tritium Cloud and AI technology, we will unify the data chain of production, technology and quality. DXC will be officially established in 2026 to fully launch the enterprise development system driven by AI analysis and prediction. Meanwhile, we cultivate next-generation talents to revitalize the organization and sustain long-term competitiveness.
