Kimpo Company Limited

What Kimpo Company Limited does

Kimpo Company Limited is a Hong Kong–incorporated (1988) B2B distributor formed in 1986 to deal in electronic and electrical components, operating from Kowloon under the operating identity Lumilite Co., Ltd. The business is built around three product pillars: (1) authorized distribution of brand-name electronic components from Samsung, LS Cable, Korchip, and Discera, plus its own EF-Series lead-free solder bars, wires, and creams; (2) exclusive distribution of Entegris semiconductor handling and filtration products covering wafer carriers (125–300mm), mask and reticle handling, fluid handling, CMP slurry filtration, and test/assembly/packaging; and (3) an LED lighting portfolio launched in 2010 through a dedicated Lighting Division, comprising MR16 LED lamps (2.5W–5W), LED tubes and strips, LED drivers (4W–30W), area and roadway luminaires (Evolve, Iberia), E-lite and VS Lighting solutions, and decorative switches — sourcing LED dies from Philips (REBEL), CREE, and OSLON and assembling GE Lighting area products.

The company's commercial model is B2B distribution under quote-based pricing, with sales conducted through a direct sales force covering Hong Kong and Southern China (where it followed Hong Kong industrial customers after their mainland production migration around 1995) and through an inquiry-cart-enabled e-commerce storefront at kimpohk.com. Customer segments are horizontal: Hong Kong and Southern PRC electronic and electrical OEMs/industrial buyers for the components business, and local-market buyers of environmentally friendly LED lighting devices for the lighting business. No customer logos, pricing, headcount, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the company is privately held with no external investors documented.
