What Shenzhen EXC-LED Technology does

Shenzhen EXC-LED Technology Co., Ltd. (深圳爱克莱特科技股份有限公司) — operating under the ACORE (爱克股份) brand on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext board (ticker 300889) since September 16, 2020 — is a Chinese vertically integrated manufacturer of smart LED lighting systems and EV-charging infrastructure. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Shenzhen's Guangming district, the company employs 501-1,000 staff and operates a combined 100,000-square-meter manufacturing footprint across Jiangmen and Foshan (Yongchuang Xiangyi subsidiary, acquired 2022-2023). Its lighting portfolio spans point light sources, linear lights, wall washers, flood lights, and architectural fixtures, organized into architectural landscape, cultural-tourism, road/functional, and indoor space categories, and is orchestrated through the proprietary ECCP intelligent cloud-control platform, AI RDM predictive-maintenance module, KNX-compatible control layer, and a smart cloud-cabinet product. Marquee deployments include the Hangzhou Asian Games (2023), Hangzhou G20 Summit (2016), Dubai Expo China Pavilion, SCO Summit Qingdao, Wuhan Military Games, and Guinness World Record lighting shows at Nanchang and Wenzhou; reference projects span nearly 200 supertall buildings (200m+) and over 100 major city projects globally.

The company's go-to-market is project-based enterprise sales via dedicated product hotlines (smart lighting, road lighting, EV charging) and an online inquiry portal, supplemented by participation in industry forums (China Road Lighting Forum, Light Middle East, Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition) and a multi-channel social presence on WeChat, Douyin, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The second leg, smart new energy, sells a full EV-charging product line from portable boxes (3.5kW) through AC piles and DC fast chargers to 960kW split DC stacks, plus photovoltaic-storage-charging (光储充) integrated solutions, intelligent station-management software, and a WeChat Mini Program for end-user charging — operationally anchored by a 2024 strategic supply-chain partnership with Xiaoju Charging, Didi's EV-charging subsidiary. Customers are predominantly Chinese municipal governments and property developers, with end markets segmented into government/municipal, cultural tourism, EV-charging infrastructure, and functional road lighting; pricing is quote-based with no public list. Beyond commercial activity, the company has co-authored four national standards (urban landscape lightning protection, LED nighttime lighting application requirements, LED point-light-source specifications, urban road lighting O&M), holds National High-Tech Enterprise status (since 2016), International Automotive Task Force IATF16949 certification (2025, for EV charging), and a 2016 Top-10 International Competitiveness award for Chinese LED enterprises. R&D is supported by joint doctoral workstations with Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology.
