EAST Group (易事特集团股份有限公司)

Company Overview

EAST Group (易事特集团) is one of the older power electronics names in China and one of the few in this category that carries a public listing. The company's own history page dates its founding to August 1989 in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, with the move to Dongguan and the start of its international business in 2001. It was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under code 300376 in January 2014.

The corporate history has an unusual chapter worth knowing: Schneider Electric held a 60 percent stake from 2006 to 2009, after which EAST bought that stake back and continued independently. The company's current profile states that it is controlled by Hubei Jingjiang Industrial, under the Jingzhou Urban Development Group. Buyers who are checking ownership structure for compliance or sanctions screening should confirm the current shareholder chain on the official site and in the annual report rather than relying on a summary, because this is exactly the kind of detail that changes.

On its English company profile page the group reports 385,000 m² of manufacturing area, more than 800 patents, 70-plus core technologies, 35-plus years of energy supply experience, products exported to more than 140 countries and regions, and annual output of about 2.25 million units. Its Chinese-language page lists roughly 1,000 patents and 200-plus software copyrights, along with national and provincial research platforms including a postdoctoral workstation.

Reference projects named by the company include power supply for the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, data centres for Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba and several Chinese banks, and EV charging for the G20 summit and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Treat these as the company's own claims, useful for understanding positioning rather than as independently verified facts.
