Gold Peak Industries

What Gold Peak Industries does

Gold Peak Technology Group Limited (HKEX: 00040) is a Hong Kong-headquartered, publicly listed diversified technology group founded in 1964. It operates three core product franchises: (1) GP consumer batteries (alkaline and GP Recyko rechargeable lines), one of the world's top five consumer battery brands distributed across 100+ markets and producing approximately 6 billion units annually; (2) KEF premium acoustic speakers and audio systems with 200+ product awards and active wireless Hi-Fi technology; and (3) Celestion professional speaker drivers and guitar loudspeakers, a global supplier of premium compression drivers. Revenue for FY2025 (year ended 31 March 2025) was HK$6,851.3 million, split Batteries 70.6%, Audio 23.1%, Rechargeable Batteries 6.3%, with geographic mix Asia 51.4%, Europe 24.4%, Americas 23.6%. Profit attributable to owners was HK$30.4 million.

The group's go-to-market combines global distribution through wholesalers and direct sales offices in 10+ countries (consumer batteries and audio) with B2B enterprise field sales for energy storage solutions. Its emerging fourth franchise is GP Energy Tech (95.41%-owned), which develops Nickel Zinc (NiZn) rechargeable battery technology targeting data center backup power, AI infrastructure, and industrial energy storage applications; the first NiZn manufacturing facility launched in Dongguan, PRC in January 2026. Operationally, Gold Peak controls 86.18% of Singapore-listed GP Industries Limited (the listed vehicle for its consumer battery and audio businesses) and is led by founder-Chairman & CEO Victor Lo Chung Wing, with second-generation family members (Grace Lo at KEF, Alan Lo at GP Energy Tech) in senior roles.

The business model is hardware sales with a heavy consumer-battery volume base that funds premium-audio margin and capital-intensive NiZn capacity build-out. Recent capital structure actions — including three sustainability-linked term loan facilities (HK$660M in 2023, HK$504M equivalent in 2025, HK$675M in May 2026), a US$11M perpetual subordinated bond issue, and strategic investments in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone — fund the pivot toward enterprise energy storage while dividend distributions continue.
