Going Global: The International Market Strategy and Layout of Hardoll Lighting
As an innovative force in the rapid rise of China's LED lighting industry, Hardoll Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. has accelerated its global development strategy in recent years, successfully expanding its business to 30+ countries and regions including Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The company adheres to the core concept of 'intelligence, energy conservation, and sustainability', relying on its independently developed DALI-2, Bluetooth Mesh and Zigbee 3.0 intelligent lighting control systems, and continuously providing professional commercial lighting solutions with high luminous efficiency, long lifespan and low glare.
According to the company's mid-year financial report for 2024, Hardoll's overseas revenue accounted for 58%, up by 37% year-on-year. Among these, the markets in Germany, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico showed particularly significant growth. The company established an European technical service center in Stuttgart, Germany, set up a regional warehouse and after-sales center in Dubai, and established in-depth strategic cooperation with the renowned Dutch lighting design firm LightLab NL and the American integrator LuminaWorks, jointly developing customized project lighting systems. In 2024, Hardoll became the designated LED downlights and track spotlights supplier for multiple public spaces in Expo City Dubai, marking that its products have passed the strict verification of top international projects.
In terms of brand building, Hardoll has been featured at the Light+ Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, the HD Expo in the United States, and the LIGHT ASEAN Exhibition in Thailand for three consecutive years. In 2024, it officially obtained multiple international authoritative certifications such as UL, CE, ENEC, CB, SAA, and KC. The company also launched multilingual official websites (supporting English, German, Arabic, and Spanish), established local sales and technical support teams, and achieved a strategic upgrade from 'product export' to 'brand export' and 'service export'.
It is worth noting that Hardoll is actively establishing a green manufacturing system: Its intelligent factory in Dongguan has achieved 100% solar power supply and has obtained ISO 14067 carbon footprint certification; all main products comply with the EU ErP directive and RoHS 3.0 standards. The company's CTO, Dr. Li Ming, said: 'Internationalization is not simply about selling products; it is through technical standards as a bridge, guided by local needs, and with a commitment to sustainable development, truly integrating into the global lighting ecosystem.' In the next three years, Hardoll plans to build new regional assembly centers in Brazil and Vietnam to further shorten the delivery cycle and strengthen local response capabilities.
With the rapid advancement of the global smart city and low-carbon building trends, Hardoll Lighting is steadily growing into a globally influential Chinese lighting technology brand, thanks to its solid technological foundation, agile localization strategies, and firm commitment to ESG.
