Since 2004

Factory

Twenty years of making light in Ningbo: the factory, the people who answer, and the numbers you can check.

The assembly hall

Tradewind began in 2004 as a workshop of twelve people spinning copper shades for a Hong Kong trading house. Twenty years later we design, tool, make, test and load our own lighting in a 26,000 m² factory in Beilun, twenty minutes from the Ningbo-Zhoushan container terminal.

We still sell only to businesses: importers, wholesalers, retailers and brands who put their own name on what we make, and hotel and restaurant groups who buy by the project. Most of them found us at a trade fair and came to see the factory before their first order. We would like you to do the same.

A walk through the factory

From drawing to sealed container, under one roof

  1. 01

    Design & tooling

    Our engineers turn a sketch into 3D drawings and cut the moulds and press tools in our own tool room — so a change to a shade takes days, not a supplier’s queue.

  2. 02

    Metalwork

    Frames are cut, spun, welded and ground in-house. Every weld on a load-bearing arm is pull-tested on the first piece of each batch.

    First-piece pull test on every batch

  3. 03

    Finishing

    Powder coating, brushing and plating on our own lines. Colour is matched to your Pantone or RAL reference and signed off on a panel before the run.

  4. 04

    Assembly

    Twelve lines, two with automatic SMT for LED boards. Wiring is checked for polarity and earth continuity at the end of the line, every piece.

    100% hi-pot and earth test

  5. 05

    Burn-in

    Every finished lamp is lit for eight hours at 45 °C before it is boxed. Early failures happen here, not in your warehouse.

    Inspection & packing

    Our QC team inspects to AQL 2.5 and welcomes your own inspector or a third party. Cartons are drop-tested to ISTA 1A before we fix the packing.
