Stable Development 1979-2000
LK was founded in Hong Kong in 1979 by Liu Siong Song, who laid the foundation for the innovative products and services to come with his own spirit of innovation and craftsmanship. Despite financial strain and fierce market competition, LK’s high-quality products and services gradually won out, impressing users early on, establishing a strong reputation in the industry, and laying a firm foundation for subsequent development.
Rapid Growth 2001-2007
LK seized the opportunity presented by China's entry into a new century of vigorous manufacturing development to rapidly expand its production capacity and market share, establishing new subsidiaries, introducing new professional talent and management systems, and diversifying its product line of die casting machines, injection molding machines, and CNC machine tools among others. As its market share began to take off, LK successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and saw its performance double in consecutive years, jumping to the head of the industry.
Global Expansion 2008-2018
LK has a global vision attuned to local markets. LK is committed to global development and has worked hard to establish an international sales and service system through cross-border acquisitions, overseas branches, and other forms facilitating its globalization and localization strategies. LK has striven to raise brand awareness, allocate resources optimally, promote the Made in China brand on the world stage, and truly achieve brand internationalization.
World Leadership 2019-2024
LK has responded to new rounds of changes to global manufacturing by increasing investment in research and development, promoting technological innovation, pursuing an industrial upgrade, and contributing to the establishment of industry standards. LK has also had a lasting effect on the intelligent green transition in manufacturing, guiding the industry towards greater environmental awareness and efficiency. Notably, it was the first company in the world to launch innovative giga intelligent die casting cells, making it a certified technological trendsetter within the industry. At the same time, LK has strengthened its global presence to provide one-stop intelligent manufacturing solutions for global customers and continued to lead die casting and high-end equipment manufacturing to new heights.
