What Jingcheng Mac does

Beijing Tianhai Industry Co., Ltd. (北京天海工业有限公司), branded BTIC and operating as a subsidiary of Beijing Jingcheng Machinery Co., Ltd. (A-share: 600860, H-share: 00187, 京城股份), manufactures high-pressure gas storage and transportation equipment. The portfolio covers seamless steel gas cylinders (aluminum-lined, stainless-steel-lined, and acetylene), Type III and Type IV composite cylinders, welded insulated cylinders, and integrated gas supply systems — including LNG/CNG/H2 onboard vehicle systems, hydrogen refueling station equipment, and liquid-hydrogen storage and supply systems. Core technology centers on high-pressure vessel forming (steel cylinder drawing at peak reported capacity of 3.17 million units/year historically), aluminum liner manufacturing, composite fiber winding, and integrated gas system assembly. The company holds 107+ patents, participates in 68 national/industry standards, and maintains multi-jurisdiction certifications (DOT, CE, TC, TUV, CCS, ASME, IATF16949) that enable export to 40+ countries across five continents.

The business runs a project-quoted B2B equipment model, selling directly to commercial-vehicle OEMs (Foton, Geely), fleet operators (SF Express, Beijing and Chifeng Public Transport, Rockcheck), industrial gas majors (Air Liquide, Linde, Praxair, AP), and broader energy and cold-chain customers (Guangdong Cold Chain Logistics). Custom/turnkey hydrogen and LNG system solutions are an increasing share of revenue and the mix is shifting toward higher-ASP Type IV hydrogen cylinders and liquid-hydrogen systems following the 2025 Series A funding of the dedicated Tianhai Hydrogen entity. Operations span seven specialized production bases in China plus the BTIC America subsidiary in Houston; the Beijing Tongzhou intelligent manufacturing base anchors the strategic new-energy product lines with a stated annual capacity of 80,000 Type III/IV cylinders and 10,000 hydrogen systems.

Revenue concentration sits across industrial gas (legacy high-volume, lower-margin), commercial-vehicle OEMs (medium-volume, higher-margin LNG/CNG systems), and hydrogen (early-stage, high-ASP, policy-supported) — with hydrogen driving the most strategic growth. The company monetizes primarily through direct equipment sales, custom engineering project quotations, and increasingly through strategic partnerships with state-backed energy and rail-equipment investors (CRRC Capital, CNPC Kunlun Capital), positioning itself as a domestic supply-chain anchor for the hydrogen economy rather than a commodity cylinder vendor.
