Zhongwei Optoelectronics has taken the lead in launching the ZWL-A1200 LED lamp automatic production special machine to help customers increase production capacity and achieve single-station automation manufacturing while minimizing equipment investment.

"High-tech LED": Not long ago, Jingsheng Electromechanical Co., Ltd. was in the stock market. In your opinion, what is the most attractive feature of Jingsheng Electromechanical? Is there a difference between the development plan after the shareholding and the original company's plan? What aspects will the promotion of the company be reflected in?

Zhang Jiliu: The development strategy of Zhongwei Optoelectronics and Jingsheng Electromechanical is complementary and compatible. As a leading company in the field of tens of billions of crystalline silicon growth equipment, Jingsheng Electromechanical Co., Ltd. “provides industrial 4.0 intelligent equipment for photovoltaic, semiconductor integrated circuits, LED and consumer electronics industries” is its established development strategy; And the industrial layout of semiconductor lighting laboratory instruments, LED single-machine automation equipment, LED lighting intelligent equipment, etc., fully in line with the demands of its strategic expansion; in addition, China has been the research and development accumulation of professional pressure for many years, professional management The management team is an important factor in the promotion of the company's shareholding.

Based on the tacit understanding between Zhongwei Optoelectronics and Jingsheng Electromechanical Co., Ltd., Jingsheng will not influence or adjust the development strategy of Zhongwei Optoelectronics. Zhongwei Optoelectronics will continue to provide high efficiency, stability and high precision for LED industry. Cost-effective LED detection and manufacturing related instruments and equipment. Jingsheng Electromechanical Co., Ltd. brings not only the support of the capital level, but also the integration effect of “1+1> 2” played by the two sides in the fields of technology, R&D and management.
