“General Manager Wang, the aluminum supplier is raising prices again! This time by 25%!”
The procurement manager’s report made me jump up from my chair.
This was already the third aluminum price increase this year, causing our product costs to continue climbing and profit margins to shrink to almost nothing.
As an LED torch light brand, we had always been at the mercy of raw material price fluctuations.
To make matters worse, the contract manufacturers used inconsistent quality generic aluminum materials,
Leading to unstable product heat dissipation performance and constant customer complaints.
The Turning Point: A Deep Conversation at an Exhibition
At the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition, I stopped at the GHS booth.
Their displayed LED torch lights not only showed exquisite craftsmanship but, more importantly, each product was marked with “Custom Aluminum Material.”

“We are a fully integrated LED torch light factory,” Technical Director Li enthusiastically explained.
“From aluminum ingots to finished products, every step is completed in our own factory.”
The Investigation: Visiting a Genuine LED Torch Light Factory
With great interest, I visited the GHS LED torch light factory. In the aluminum processing workshop, I witnessed an astonishing scene:
“We use custom aluminum materials from our own molds,” Engineer Li said, pointing to a large extrusion machine.
“This not only ensures consistent product quality but also reduces our costs by 18% compared to competitors using generic aluminum materials.”
In the aluminum workshop, I observed:
– Specially designed heat dissipation fin molds for torch lights
– Automated oxidation production lines ensuring uniform color
– Composition analysis performed on every batch of aluminum
– Custom molds achieving 95% material utilization rate
The Strength: The Secret to Price Advantage
In the finance department, the director calculated for me:
“Because we are a fully integrated LED torch light factory, using custom aluminum materials has:
– Reduced material waste by 30%
– Increased production efficiency by 25%
– Improved quality stability by 40%
– Lowered overall costs by 20%”
“This means,” the director concluded, “we can provide better products at lower prices.”
Last week, our biggest competitor privately inquired about our supplier.
When I told them we had found a fully integrated LED torch light factory, they said enviously,
“An LED torch light factory that can use custom aluminum materials is truly rare in the industry.”
Choosing the GHS LED torch light factory made me understand that in today’s highly competitive market environment,
Finding a fully integrated factory that masters core material technology means seizing the initiative in the market.
