About MINO

Guangzhou MINO Equipment Co., Ltd. (MINO) is a high-tech enterprise providing intelligent manufacturing solutions primarily for the automotive sector and other general industrial fields. Founded in June 2008 by Yao Weibing, the company has grown into a major automotive equipment supplier. Yao, who holds a degree in automotive studies and previously worked for a large joint-venture car manufacturer, established MINO to develop domestic intelligent equipment and reduce reliance on foreign technology.

MINO's business model transitioned from an engineering manufacturer and system integrator to a technology and product service provider, combining industrial services with digital solutions. The company offers a comprehensive suite of products and services, including standardized manufacturing technology, process solutions, "building-block" style intelligent production lines, modular products, and virtual manufacturing technology. A key offering is their Industrial IoT (IIoT) big data service platform, which enhances equipment utilization, shortens production cycles, and reduces operational costs for clients. Their product portfolio features body-in-white (BIW) automatic welding lines, flexible assembly lines, high-speed conveyor systems, and robotic accessories like lightweight weld guns. The company utilizes virtual commissioning solutions to design, simulate, and validate production lines digitally, significantly cutting down on physical commissioning time and costs.

Headquartered in Guangzhou, China, MINO operates on a global scale with subsidiaries and offices in the United States, Germany, Japan, and Mexico, serving a prestigious client base that includes Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, General Motors, and Faraday Future. The company has engaged in multiple funding rounds, including a significant strategic financing of 600 million RMB in June 2022. In January 2021, MINO initiated the process for a public listing by signing a counseling agreement with China Securities.
