Zhongshan is a manufacturing city in Guangdong Province, located in the central Pearl River Delta between Guangzhou, Foshan, and Zhuhai. The city has a strong private-sector manufacturing base with specialized clusters in lighting, home appliances, hardware, electronics, and consumer goods. Zhongshan is one of China’s most important lighting production centers, particularly in Guzhen Town, which supplies LED lighting, fixtures, components, and smart lighting products to global markets. The city also hosts home appliance and electronics manufacturing through companies such as TCL supplier networks, Donlim (kitchen appliances), and a wide range of OEM and ODM factories producing for international brands and private labels.
