en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Biel Crystal has nine global production bases, over 100,000 employees, an annual production capacity exceeding 2.5 billion units, total investment exceeding 50 billion yuan, and a total building area of 5.08 million square meters. This large manufacturing enterprise, which supplies glass covers and other products to the global consumer electronics supply chain, is leveraging digitalization and global layout to consolidate its position in the industrial chain.
The nine bases are located in Qiuchang, Danshui, Sanhe, and Yonghu in Huizhou; Henggang in Shenzhen; Tongliao in Inner Mongolia; Bac Ninh and Haiphong in Vietnam; and Switzerland. This layout follows an industrial logic: the Pearl River Delta serves as the manufacturing heartland for consumer electronics, Vietnam absorbs capacity spillover demand, Inner Mongolia offers energy cost advantages, and Switzerland provides proximity to high-end European clients.
To manage this global production matrix, Biel Crystal has built a data-driven, hierarchical digital architecture. Through management platforms such as ERP, PLM, and MES, and by introducing 5G industrial internet technology, it achieves interconnection of equipment and systems across all bases. The company has independently developed an AOI optical inspection system, an intelligent scheduling system, and AI quality control algorithms, enabling production in smart factories that meet Industry 4.0 standards.
In R&D, Biel Crystal has established a product technology R&D center, featuring four key laboratories (two of which are CNAS-accredited), over 10,000 engineering staff, annual R&D expenses exceeding 1 billion yuan, and a cumulative total of 805 patents. Its R&D achievements cover technologies such as UTG ultra-thin flexible glass, VTG variable thickness glass, "Witch's Cloak" ultra-hard film, and microcrystalline glass covers.
Recently, Biel Crystal invested over 150 million yuan to acquire 243 mu of industrial land in Danshui, Huizhou, to meet capacity demands driven by order growth in new tracks such as smart vehicles. Its capacity footprint continues to expand.
In terms of sustainable development, Biel Crystal has established a management system covering international standards such as ISO9001 and ISO14001. Three subsidiaries—Biel Crystal (Huizhou), Biel Hi-Tech, and Biel Precision—have been recognized as "National Green Factories." The company has also upheld public welfare and charity for over 20 years, with cumulative donations exceeding 500 million yuan.
With nine bases, 100,000 employees, and an annual capacity of 2.5 billion units, Biel Crystal's global smart manufacturing system, built on these resources, secures its significant position in the global supply chain.
