Twin Palms

What Twin Palms does

Shuanglin Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 300100) is a Chinese publicly listed automotive components group founded in 1987 in Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province. The group's core manufacturing footprint spans four primary product lines: new-energy electric drive systems (motors, motor controllers, vehicle management systems (VMS), battery management systems (BMS), and integrated e-axles across the 180 and 155 platforms supporting 20–120kW output); wheel hub bearing units across three product generations with design lives of 300,000–500,000+ km; automotive seat electromechanical systems (horizontal actuators, soft shafts, motors, window anti-pinch modules, electronic control modules) supplied to Tier 1 seat integrators and indirectly to Tesla, Audi, Maserati, Infiniti, and others; and automotive trim, stamping, precision plastic/metal components, and DSI 6-speed automatic transmissions. The business operates through roughly 40 subsidiaries and 20+ production bases across China (Shanghai HQ at Qingpu, Ninghai, Linyi, Xiangyang, Zhaoqing, Liuzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan, Tianjin, Shenyang, Qingdao, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Wuhu, Wuxi) with sales and after-sales offices in Europe, North America, and South America.

Revenue is generated as a B2B automotive Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier under OEM-defined pricing via RFQ, APQP, and PPAP qualification processes, with long-term supply agreements and framework contracts; a parallel aftermarket channel sells Shuanglin-brand hub bearings through distributors including Advance Auto Parts. Customers include SAIC-GM-Wuling, FAW-Bestune, Chery, Great Wall Motors, Dongfeng Nissan (11+ year strategic hub bearing partnership), and Tier 1 partners Faurecia, Lear, Brose, Bosch (Asia-Pacific Excellent Supplier 2022), Magna, TRW, FORVIA, and United Automotive Electronics. Group-wide production capacity reaches multi-million-unit scales across product lines, supported by certified quality systems (TS16949, ISO9001, ISO14001, CNAS) and vertically integrated R&D including an Academician workstation, a National Postdoctoral Research Workstation, and university joint R&D centers.

The group has been actively pivoting via its stated 'Six-Dual Strategy' (dual R&D, dual manufacturing, dual OE/AM, dual ICE/NEV, dual organic/M&A, dual domestic/international), with recent strategic moves including a 2024 launch of reverse planetary roller screws for humanoid robots, a January 2026 ball-screw line commissioning, an April 2026 launch of a 248-ton K7 unmanned mining truck, axial flux motor cooperation with Southeast University (2025), and a Zhaoqing intelligent auto parts base to serve South China NEV OEMs.
