Built for growth and innovation
The establishment of the Tianjin factory follows an intensive six-month development phase, during which a joint team of European and Chinese experts worked closely on factory design, equipment installation, and office construction. The project builds on a strong foundation of cooperation between Lumiforte and Ruixue Global, combining Dutch technological expertise with deep knowledge of the Chinese market.
The facility represents a key milestone in the joint venture Beijing LumiRay Technology Co., Ltd., aimed at localizing advanced greenhouse coating technologies and enhancing service capabilities across China and Asia.
Strengthening a high-potential market
China represents a major opportunity for LumiRay's solutions. Over 1 million hectares of greenhouses, representing approximately 60% of global greenhouse area, are located in China. By establishing local production, LumiRay will improve supply efficiency, reduce lead times, and better serve customers with tailored solutions.
The Tianjin facility will be supported by a growing local team of employees in Production & Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing and Finance.
