(stock code 837970), legally registered as Shanghai Inlay物联网科技股份有限公司, is a significant entity in the global Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) market, specializing in the research, development, and large-scale manufacturing of RFID antennas and inlays. The company was formally established on June 23, 2006, as Shanghai Inlay Smarttag Co., Ltd., building upon the core technical team's work on RFID antenna production processes that began as early as 2001. In 2015, the company underwent a shareholding reform and changed its legal name to Shanghai Inlay Link Inc.

The firm's business model is centered on the production and sale of core RFID components, primarily serving as a supplier to world-class RFID tag and smart card manufacturers. Its product portfolio includes RFID aluminum etching High-Frequency (HF) and Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) antennas, as well as Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC). These components are integral to various applications across numerous sectors, including railway management, library systems, asset tracking, logistics, healthcare, and event ticketing. Inlaylink has demonstrated substantial production capabilities, with an annual capacity of 10 billion antennas across its 25,000㎡ manufacturing plants. The company has supplied over 15 billion RFID products to more than 100 companies globally. Beyond components, the company also provides complete RFID data collection solutions and products that integrate software and hardware for industries like apparel, logistics, and consumer goods.

Key leadership includes Li Zhongqing, who serves as the Chairman, General Manager, and legal representative. The technical direction of the crucial antenna division is headed by General Manager Li Quanji, who has been instrumental in the company's focus on quality control and rapid response to market demands. The firm's commitment to research and development is evidenced by its portfolio of over 100 RFID-related patents. This technical foundation has attracted investment from several venture capital and private equity firms, including NewMargin Ventures, GP Capital (China), and Zijin Hi-Tech Venture Capital. Inlaylink has received numerous accolades, such as the National Golden Card Project award and recognition as a Shanghai High-tech Enterprise, underscoring its position in the industry.
