Planned capacity. The Longmen site in Quanzhou, Fujian, is a planned production base with three coating lines. It is not yet operational, and any timeline should be confirmed with us before it is used in a supply plan.

Reading the timeline
What each phase changed for a buyer
A company history is only useful to a purchaser if it says what became possible when. These are the same events as the table above, read from the buying side.
| Phase | What was added | What a buyer could do afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 founded | Material supply and technical advice from Shenzhen | Source tape grades and have the conversation in English |
| 2018 plant and export | Own slitting, rewinding and die-cutting, with export shipments beginning | Order a converted format rather than a purchased roll |
| 2019 ISO 9001 and brand agency | A certified quality system, plus authorized access to tesa material | Put our records into a supplier qualification instead of only a datasheet |
| 2020 coastal branches | Branch operations in Xiamen and Fuzhou | Get local support along the Fujian coast as well as in Shenzhen |
| 2024 Hefei subsidiary | A subsidiary serving central China | Hold a southern supply route and a central-China one at the same time |
| 2025 range and process breadth | Six product families, in-house lamination, CNC and laser cutting | Specify a construction and its conversion in one enquiry |
| Longmen, planned | An 80-mu site in Quanzhou with three planned coating lines | Nothing yet: it is not operational and is confirmed separately before it enters a supply plan |
What a milestone does and does not prove
- A founding year says how long the company has traded, not how long any individual has worked with tape
- A certification year says a system was certified then; the current scope and expiry are what a buyer has to check
- A distribution status says how material is obtained, not that every grade is authorized in every country
- A patent count says in-house development happened; it does not describe the performance of your joint
- A planned site is a plan, so it stays labelled as planned until it is running and can be visited
- Repeat supply since 2018 is the practical evidence: the same part has been made twice and matched the record
FAQ
Company history questions
Is the Longmen facility producing yet?
No. The site in Quanzhou, Fujian, is planned with three coating lines and is not operational. Any timeline for it should come from us in writing before it is used in a supply plan, and today all converting runs through the Bao’an plant in Shenzhen.
How long have you exported?
Export shipments began in 2018, the same year the conversion plant started. Southeast Asia execution is described market by market on the logistics pages, and freight terms are confirmed per destination rather than assumed from the export year.
Are the 20+ patents about tape or about processing?
They cover in-house work on materials and converting processes. A patent is evidence of development activity, not a performance claim for a specific grade, so quotations describe the construction and the test data instead of leaning on the count.
Can you evidence a milestone during an audit?
Yes, during a scheduled audit visit we can walk the relevant records: the certificate for the quality system, batch and work-order records, and shipping documents for the period in question. Ask before booking so the right files and people are available.
Do the branch offices stock material?
The Shenzhen plant holds stock and does the converting. Branch and subsidiary operations extend coverage and customer support; where a delivery must come from stock, the stock location is stated at quotation rather than left to be discovered.
