In 2025, Guangzhou SmartGiant Technology Co., Ltd. announced a strategic acquisition of a 71% stake in Kekai Electronics. This merger aims to create a 'measurement and control integrated' business, combining SmartGiant's expertise in industrial automation testing with Kekai's focus on military-grade components. The move is expected to accelerate SmartGiant's transformation from an industrial testing equipment supplier to a manufacturer of core components for high-end equipment. The transaction valued 100% of Kekai Electronics' equity at 2.102 billion yuan.
