About Keshi Optical

Guangdong KST Optical Co., Ltd. (KST), operating under the name Keshi Optics, is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, and sale of advanced optical equipment. The company focuses on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) sector, providing both fully-automatic and semi-automatic LED exposure equipment.

In a strategic move to bolster its technical capabilities in optical design and light source development, KST acquired the Japanese-owned enterprise Dongguan Rsee Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. in 2017. This acquisition was followed by the establishment of Dongguan Kerun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. in November of the same year, an initiative aimed at backward integration to control raw material costs and ensure price stability. The company has demonstrated a strong commitment to intellectual property, applying for numerous patents. As of November 2019, it had 65 authorized patents.

Keshi Optical's business model is centered on manufacturing and selling high-performance LED equipment. In June 2021, the company announced the completion of a 75 million yuan Series B financing round led by Shenzhen Huihe assets. These funds were earmarked for the large-scale production, R&D investment, and market expansion of its high-end optical equipment, including full-automatic solder proof exposure machines and semiconductor Di lithography machines. The company serves a global clientele, with customers in countries such as the United Kingdom, South Korea, India, and Vietnam, in addition to a domestic client base that includes prominent names like Guangdong Ellington and ECHWISE.

The product line includes a range of specialized machinery crucial for PCB manufacturing. These products, such as the LED exposure machines, are developed by combining foreign advanced optical technology with the specific needs of the domestic and international PCB industry. The company has divisions for PCB UV LED exposure machines, machine vision light sources, and printing curing light sources, indicating a comprehensive approach to optical solutions in industrial manufacturing.
