Recently, according to the results of the 2025 “Specialized, Refined, and Innovative” Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) certification and review announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Centuray Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully selected for the national-level list of “Specialized, Refined, and Innovative” SMEs, thanks to its comprehensive strength in technology research and development, product innovation, and market application. This honor signifies that Centuray’s leading technological position and continuous innovation capabilities in its niche market have received authoritative recognition at the national level.
Since the first overhead contact line for rail transit arrived in China, 30 years of accumulation and refinement, followed by intensive development and innovation starting in 2016, have led to the nine-year evolution of the Chinese brand Centuray. Through deep integration of German technology and Chinese manufacturing experience, the company has gradually built a research and development and manufacturing management system covering rail transit overhead contact lines, high-end copper and copper alloys, cables, and cable accessories, laying a solid foundation in the rail transit field. With its core products represented by high-conductivity, high-wear-resistant, and high-weather-resistant copper alloy contact lines, the company serves China’s 180,000-kilometer electrified railway network, including 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail, becoming a hidden champion in its niche market with a market share exceeding 80%. Simultaneously, through a combination of products and services, from traction power supply to power quality management and operation and maintenance services, the company assists in creating high-quality development models for urban rail transit systems such as the Shanghai Metro, Nanjing Metro, and Hong Kong MTR.
From the “main channel” to the “uncharted territory,” Centuray is dedicated to leveraging practical experience from the industrial sector to drive the research and development and application of upstream core basic materials. From rail transit to various industries, the company promotes the application of high-performance copper and copper alloy materials in emerging fields through the independent development of core equipment. From scientific experiments to core materials for medical equipment, from new energy to aerospace, Centuray has achieved significant breakthroughs in several cutting-edge fields facing technological bottlenecks, breaking the long-standing foreign monopoly and achieving import substitution for key core copper and copper alloy products. Furthermore, the company has expanded into the new field of critical copper alloy materials for power semiconductors, becoming the second company globally to achieve mass production of this type of high-end copper alloy material.
From inheriting German technology to promoting a new image of “Made in China” to the world, and following the development path of the Belt and Road Initiative, Centuray’s business now covers more than 30 countries and regions worldwide, including Vietnam, Thailand, Germany, France, and Brazil. As a systematic, one-stop supplier, it provides Chinese solutions for the global rail transit, power energy, power semiconductor, and high-end equipment manufacturing sectors.
Centuray drives the development of new productive forces with its innovation capabilities, R&D strength, and service capabilities, building an innovation matrix of “one station and three centers.” It has successively won the first prize of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award, been selected as a demonstration case of industrial green microgrid by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and collaborated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology to establish an academician workstation. This recognition as a national-level specialized and sophisticated “little giant” enterprise is a strong testament to Centuray’s thirty years of unwavering focus on technology and continuous innovation.
In the future, Centuray will continue to be driven by a three-pronged approach of “R&D innovation, mergers and acquisitions, and globalization,” focusing deeply on core technologies in the field of copper and copper alloy materials. By solidifying its core advantages in the main track of rail transit and cultivating technological innovation in niche areas, it will inject strong momentum into industrial upgrading and lead the way to a low-carbon, reliable, and sustainable green future!
