SGG has a long history, being one of China’s oldest sewing machine manufacturers, with the “Butterfly” trademark tracing back to 1919. The Company originated from the state-owned Shanghai Industrial Sewing Machine Factory established in 1965. It was restructured into Shanghai Industrial Sewing Machine Co., Ltd. in 1993 and successfully went public in 1994. In 1997, it was renamed Shang Gong Co., Ltd. In 2005, it merged with SMPIC and was renamed Shang Gong Group Co., Ltd. That same year, the Company embarked on an international journey, successfully acquiring the renowned German company Dürkopp Adler, which has an excellent reputation in the global sewing equipment industry, rejuvenating the company founded in 1860 through significant integration. In 2013, SGG successfully acquired another century-old sewing company in Germany, PFAFF Industrial, along with KSL, a globally leading innovative company in sewing automation applications, quickly mastering world-class sewing technologies, including sewing robots, thereby solidifying the Company’s leading position in global industry technology. From 2015 to 2018, SGG successively invested in establishing Zhejiang Shanggong Gemsy Sewing Technology Co., Ltd. primarily engaged in standardized industrial sewing machine production, and Pfaff Industrial (Zhangjiagang) Co., Ltd., a domestic base for intelligent manufacturing equipment assembly and key component production. It also invested in and took control of SG Richpease Intelligent Manufacturing (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., which develops CAD software and manufactures special programmable equipment like industrial cutting machines, embroidery machines and mask machines. The company has formed a “new Shanghai manufacturing” model of “R&D and marketing based in Shanghai” and “production manufacturing outside”. In 2020, SGG established Shanggong Sewing Machinery (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., building an intelligent manufacturing factory with an annual production output of 390,000 industrial sewing machines. In 2023, SGG completed the acquisition and closing procedure of the German company SONOTRONIC, a invisible champion in non-standard automated ultrasonic welding equipment, adding a new European member to SGG and expanding its material joining technology into the ultrasonic welding field. In the same year, SGG acquired Shanghai Shanggong Feier Automotive Components Co., Ltd., entering the automotive interior parts manufacturing sector and began vertically integrating its downstream business. In 2024, seizing the national strategic opportunity to promote the “low-altitude economy,” SGG acquired relevant effective assets from the American small aircraft manufacturer ICON, extending its business from providing carbon fiber composite structural equipment to the manufacturing of carbon fiber lightweight sports aircraft using its joining technology.
Facing the development opportunities of the “new century,” SGG will rely on the pioneering foundation of Industry 4.0, adhere to the principles of “comprehensive digitalization” and “intelligent manufacturing,” give full play to the advantages of leading technology, innovation and globalization layout to better provide process solutions for emerging industries such as automotive, aerospace, environmental protection, and new energy. We will continue to provide innovative technological services for consumer goods manufacturing such as shoes and clothing, bags and home furnishing, so as to start the growth engine of transformation from "production-oriented manufacturing" to "service-oriented manufacturing" and create "The Second Curve "of the company's growth.
