Luoyang Northglass Technology

What Luoyang Northglass Technology does

Luoyang Northglass Technology is a publicly listed (Shenzhen Stock Exchange, 002613) Chinese manufacturer of glass deep-processing equipment and high-end architectural glass products, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Luoyang, Henan. The company operates two interlocking businesses: (1) capital equipment sold to glass processors — including glass tempering furnaces (standard B-series, high-end A-series, top-tier T-series, and continuous PV-glass tempering furnaces), horizontal vacuum magnetron-sputtering Low-E coating lines, fully automated glass deep-processing lines integrating warehousing/cutting/sorting/grinding, and trilateral-flow industrial centrifugal fans; and (2) finished glass products — including ultra-large "Super Glass" panels up to 24m height, multi-curved 3D structural glass, digital print and Low-E insulated glass, plus a newer lightweight microcrystalline stone ("Light Stone") prefabricated wall material. NorthGlass claims the #1 global share in glass tempering furnaces for 24 consecutive years with 6,000+ units installed across 110+ countries, holds a Guinness World Record for the largest single glass panel (50.869 sqm), and holds 400+ patents.

The company's revenue model is predominantly one-time equipment sales and project-based hardware sales rather than recurring software/services. H1 2023 revenue was approximately RMB 879.15 million (up 20.54% YoY), with the glass tempering equipment segment at ~RMB 403M (45.84%) and deep-processed glass at ~RMB 349M (39.65%, up 32.31% YoY); H1 2023 net profit was ~RMB 80M (up 236.83% YoY). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through six Chinese regional offices and dedicated international sales divisions, supported by major global exhibitions and architecture-focused marketing (AIA, CTBUH, BAU, Glasstec, Swissbau). Customers include Apple Stores (100+ locations), Google Bay View, Huawei, IKEA, Saint-Gobain, and projects such as Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Shanghai Tower, and Denver Art Museum.

The company is structurally diversified across glass deep-processing equipment, vacuum coating equipment, automation, architectural glass, industrial fans, and lightweight building materials, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Shanghai (coating, automation), Tianjin (architectural glass), and Luoyang (fans, kilns, industrial park). Minority equity is held in two Light Stone subsidiaries. The group's manufacturing footprint spans approximately 510 acres of industrial park in Luoyang plus dedicated R&D/production sites in Shanghai's Songjiang District and Tianjin's National Green Factory-certified facility.
