02 / About YFLY
Built on experience, since 1969
Shanghai Yunfei Industry and Trade Development Co., Ltd. began as Shanghai Hongxing Decorative Hardware Factory in 1969 and became a privately owned joint-stock company in 1998. Based in Anting, Jiading District, Shanghai, our factory occupies a site of approximately 40,000 m², with 35,000 m² of floor space and more than 300 employees, including our technical and management teams.
Our capabilities span cold metal stamping, sheet metal fabrication, tooling and coating, from process assessment and tool trials through to volume production. We serve refrigeration and air conditioning, automotive and industrial electrical applications, supported by ongoing development in metal forming, automation and dimensional inspection.
