Formerly known as Shanghai Industrial Sewing Machine Factory, the Company was founded in October 1965. In September 1993, it was reorganized to go public. In August 1997, it was renamed ShangGong Co., Ltd. In February 2005, it was merged with Shanghai SMPIC Co., Ltd. and renamed SGSB GROUP CO., LTD. Over more than five decades, ShangGong Group, as China’s first sewing machine manufacturer, once created brilliant operation performance. In 2004, in order to get rid of the low-price vicious competition in the sewing machinery industry, the Company actively formulated the operation development strategy of taking the “High-Quality, Intelligentized, and Differentiated” path.

In 2005, as the active responder to the“Going out” strategy of China, ShangGong Group successfully acquired Dürkopp Adler AG (DA AG) and started internationalized business operation. DA AG is a German sewing equipment manufacturing enterprise founded in 1862, enjoying very high reputation in the global sewing equipment industry. Through many years of overseas practice, the Company has achieved a brilliant performance and successfully rolled out an internationalized operation road suitable for its own development. In 2013, ShangGong Group again successfully acquired Germany’s century-old PFAFF Industriesystem und Maschinen GmbH and the global leading enterprise in the industrial sewing automation application field – KSL Sondermaschinenbau GmbH and rapidly acquired the world’s leading sewing technologies including the robot controlled 3D sewing technology, consolidating its leading status in the automation sewing technology field in the world. In 2015, ShangGong Group invested in H. Stoll AG & Co. KG (STOLL), the world-famous weaving flat knitting machine manufacturer, taking over 26% of STOLL’s equity and becoming its largest limited partner. In the same year, the Company seized the opportunity of industry adjustment in China and set up ajoint venture Zhejiang ShangGong Gemsy Sewing Technology Co., Ltd., and timely intervened in the production and operation of standardized industrial sewing equipment; ShangGong Group also invested and established a production base of heavy material sewing machines and parts in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province,China. This has formed a “Shanghai Manufacturing” model which R&D and marketing are in Shanghai and production is outside. In 2018, ShangGong Group acquired 65% equity of Tianjin Richpeace Computer & Machinery Co., Ltd., accelerating the development of high-end business fields such as equipment automation and intelligentization layout. The Company will further utilize Richpeace's relatively low manufacturing cost advantage and integrate the high-end sewing technology of German KSL to form synergy effect and improve product competitiveness.

The Company's management will unswervingly implement the Technology-Leading business strategy, improve core competitiveness through continuous technology & management innovation, and create an upgraded version of the transformation development of China’s traditional manufacturing industry.
