From 2000 to 2024, a brief moment in history, yet a significant period for China's economy, evolving from a follower to a leader in the global economy. Similarly, Refond Optoelectronics, founded in 2000, has achieved remarkable growth over the past 24 years, becoming a leader in China's LED packaging industry.

The 24 years of innovation and growth are hard to encapsulate in a few words. Refond's newly developed multifunctional brand showroom, spanning 2,000 square meters, is divided into four main areas: an image foyer, a brand image area, an R&D and manufacturing area, and a product experience area. It not only tells Refond's development story but also allows visitors to experience the forefront of LED technology and its innovative potential through five core scenarios.

The showroom reflects Refond's 24-year journey, marked by significant milestones in LED technology innovation. In 2002, Refond established an SMD LED packaging line, becoming one of the pioneers in this field in China. After nine years of innovation, the company went public on the ChiNext market in 2011, further expanding its LED packaging business.

In 2016, with the rise of the Mini LED concept, Refond quickly invested in R&D and built an automated production line by 2018. In 2022, the Hubei Refond Mini LED Industrial Park was completed and put into production. Since 2023, the company has continued to develop its five main product lines in lighting, displays, automotive, electrical, and touch displays, establishing a strong industry presence.

To deepen its innovation strategy, Refond has also undertaken a global brand refresh, positioning itself with a global perspective and forming deep collaborations with leading enterprises in various fields worldwide. The aim is to provide comprehensive supply chain value to customers and continuously extend the application of LED technology across multiple fields, driving industry advancement.
