Gongkong

What Gongkong does

Gongkong (工控网/中国工控网) is a privately held Chinese B2B media and services platform founded in 1999 that operates as the authoritative vertical internet media property for the country's industrial automation, digitalization, and intelligent manufacturing sectors. Headquartered in Beijing with branch offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen, the company is organized as 工控网（北京）信息技术股份有限公司 (Gongkong (Beijing) Information Technology Co., Ltd.). It serves three primary constituencies: industrial automation professionals (design engineers, automation engineers, system integrators), industrial automation equipment manufacturers and solution providers (including Fortune 500 multinationals such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, Emerson, Rockwell, Mitsubishi, ABB, Omron, Honeywell, Delta, Advantech, and domestic firms like Supcon and Hollysys), and manufacturing end users in discrete and process industries pursuing digital transformation.

The platform operates an interconnected ecosystem spanning news, product directories, technical resources, case studies, forums (工控论坛), video content (工控视频), B2B e-commerce (工控猫/gongkongmall), professional training (工控教育), engineering services (工业速派), MRO/after-sales support (工控服务), and a digital conference hall (数字化会议厅) for virtual events. Proprietary technology products include FWebSCADA — a next-generation Web SCADA platform with an embedded AI Assistant enabling natural language configuration design and Node-RED integration — and HT Studio 1.0, a self-developed industrial configuration editor. The platform also lists industrial hardware offerings including power supply modules (LO10, LRN150, HO3 series), EV charging residual current modules (TLB series), and contactor energy-saving controllers (KM series), suggesting selective commercialization beyond media.

Revenue is generated through digital marketing services (advertising, brand promotion) and platform services (enterprise marketing, market research, consulting, training, talent recruitment), sold via contact-based pricing under multi-year contracts primarily to enterprise advertisers. No pricing or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The company holds institutional positions including council membership in MIIT's China Intelligent Manufacturing System Solutions Supplier Alliance and designation as a Ministry of Commerce Investment Promotion Bureau think tank chief expert unit, reinforcing its positioning as a quasi-official industry channel.
