What 上海航安机场设备有限公司 does

上海航安机场设备有限公司 (Airsafe Airport Equipment Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-based manufacturer of airfield ground lighting (AGL) and visual aid systems for civilian airports, tracing its origins to a Wuhan-based entity founded in 1987 and restructured under its current Shanghai registration in 2010. The company designs and manufactures a complete range of navigation lighting products covering approach lighting (center-line, crossbar, side-row, PAPI, sequenced flashing lights), runway lighting, taxiway lighting, guidance signs, heliport lighting, wind cones, isolation transformers, and installation accessories, along with IGBT sine wave constant current regulators and the I-ALCMS intelligent airport lighting control and monitoring system. Airsafe holds FAA, ICAO, CAAC, and ISO 9001 certifications and is the only Chinese enterprise on the official FAA certified airfield lights list, with its products deployed at over 500 airports worldwide across 18+ countries.

The company operates an integrated manufacturing campus in Shanghai's Baoshan District with over 100 CNC machine tools including 40 machining centers, and runs an enterprise field sales motion combining direct sales from its Shanghai headquarters and three Chinese regional branches with international distribution through AES Airport Solutions in Europe and TSAirSafe in Singapore. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of complete airfield lighting systems supplemented by technical support, installation consulting, and after-sales services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated directly with airport customers. Airsafe's primary customer segment is commercial civilian airports (including tier-one hubs such as Beijing Capital, Shanghai Pudong, Singapore Changi, Madrid Barajas, and Chengdu Tianfu), with project contracts that are large and episodic rather than recurring.

The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and is led by Chairman Wu Guanglie following a March 2025 leadership refresh that installed Charlie Xie as General Manager and a new Deputy GM and Chief Technical Engineer team. Recent strategic activity has emphasized international market expansion via participation in Inter Airport Europe 2025 and planned Dubai Airport Show 2026, alongside major domestic project wins such as the 16,000-light Urumqi Tianshan North Terminal Area contract in 2025.

Core offering

Airsafe designs, manufactures, and sells a complete portfolio of airfield ground lighting (AGL) equipment for civil airports, including approach, runway, taxiway, heliport, and apron lighting; PAPI and sequenced flashing light systems; LED and halogen fixtures; isolation transformers; wind cones; and installation accessories. The company also sells intelligent airport lighting control and monitoring systems (I-ALCMS and I-SLCMS) and IGBT sine wave constant current regulators for airfield power and brightness management, targeting CAT I, II, and III airports in compliance with ICAO and FAA standards.

Product overview

Airsafe Airport Equipment Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of visual aids for navigation serving airports worldwide. The company provides a comprehensive portfolio of airfield ground lighting (AGL) equipment centered around two core systems: the I-ALCMS (Intelligent Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring System) and I-SLCMS (Individual Lamp Control and Monitoring System) for centralized lighting control, supported by IGBT Sine Wave Constant Current Regulators (CCR-I and MINI) for power management. The product range spans approach lighting (center-line, crossbar, side-row lights, PAPI, sequenced flashing lights), runway lighting (center-line, touchdown zone, edge, threshold, threshold wing-bar, runway end lights, rapid exit indicators), taxiway lighting (center-line, edge, stop-bar, hold position, runway guard lights), guidance signs, isolation transformers with cable connectors, heliport lighting, wind cones, and installation accessories. The company specializes in both halogen and LED lighting technologies, with innovative Zero Water LED series for wet environments. Products are designed for CAT I, II, III airports and comply with ICAO and FAA standards.
