Made in China. That phrase is synonymous with our city. We have probably produced a lot of things you use in your daily life at one point or another.

Thanks to our continued commitment to building a positive environment for visitors, business, employment, and investment, we are now one of the most important production centres for international companies. Take a look at just a few of our partners, and come and discover more about how things are done at the frontline of cutting edge technology and quality craftsmanship.
ANWELL – Solar energy/Blu-ray
“Your factory brims with dynamism. Your market dominance is the result of advanced technology, high productivity and high quality.” This compliment paid to Anwell was given by none other than China’s Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. He went on to say, “Solar panels are a key component of clean, renewable energy, which is an important direction for our power generation and energy industries. Thus, China looks to you for its power-saving and new energy infrastructure.” Dongguan is leading the way in China for its commitment to a greener, renewable source of energy, and a better future for future generations. Worldwide, Anwell is one of only two manufacturers of equipment that replicates Blu-ray discs. Sony of Japan makes the equipment too, but only for its own use.

NOKIA stated that “Dongguan is a strategic location for Nokia's global supply network for mobile devices.

KINGWAY – Lager beer brewery and bottling plant
Dutch brewer Heineken, which holds a 21-per cent stake in Kingway, obviously knows quality when it sees it. Investment in Dongguan’s beer industry continues to rise.
As one of eight production centres, Kingway is a key asset of our city, as are all our production, manufacturing, and technological centres. Mirroring our commitment to a greener, brighter future, environmentally-friendly production is a must for Dongguan’s companies. Kingway has taken the lead in the industry in energy consumption indices and was designated "an example to follow" by the Shenzhen Municipal Government in July 2006.
CLARION – technological innovation
If you have ever wondered how CD or DVD players work then this is where it all happens. Though Clarion is very much a U.S.A company, it takes advantage of our highly-skilled workforce to get things going. With almost 1,500 employees, the Clarion base is an important employer in our city. |
