JKRGLO Earns Shenzhen Green Factory Certification for Sustainable PCB Manufacturing
Opening Introduction
On August 21, 2024, Shenzhen JKR Precision Technology Co., Ltd. — the company behind the JKRGLO brand — was officially recognized as a Shenzhen Green Factory. The certification places the company alongside 57 other manufacturers, including BYD Semiconductor and Lenovo Information Products (Shenzhen), and marks a formal acknowledgment of JKRGLO’s work in environmental protection, energy efficiency, and sustainable manufacturing.
For PCB and PCBA buyers, that designation matters more than it might first appear. It signals that the factory behind the boards has invested in cleaner processes, lower energy consumption, and tighter resource management — the kind of supplier qualification that is becoming a real part of procurement decisions.
Quick answer:
What happened: JKRGLO (Shenzhen JKR Precision Technology Co., Ltd.) passed the official Shenzhen Green Factory evaluation on August 21, 2024, under the national Green Factory gradient cultivation measures and Shenzhen’s local implementation rules. It was one of 57 companies recognized in the same round, alongside BYD Semiconductor and Lenovo Information Products (Shenzhen).
Why it matters: Green Factory status is awarded to manufacturers that reduce energy use, cut emissions, and reuse resources across their production processes. For a PCB and PCBA supplier, it is a third-party signal that the factory operates with measurable, sustainability-focused controls rather than treating environmental compliance as an afterthought.
What the Certification Covers
The recognition follows two policy frameworks:
- The national Green Factory Gradient Cultivation and Management Interim Measures (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Document No. 13 of 2024)
- The Shenzhen Green Factory Gradient Cultivation Management Implementation Rules (Shenzhen, Document No. 9 of 2024)
In plain terms, a “green factory” is a manufacturing site that applies green-manufacturing principles end to end: cleaner production, lower carbon intensity, and closed-loop use of resources. It is a core pillar of the broader green manufacturing system, and it reflects a deliberate move toward higher-quality, lower-impact production rather than output at any cost.
Company Background and Credentials
JKRGLO has positioned itself as a PCBA smart-manufacturing base, and the Green Factory designation is the latest in a line of credentials that matter to industrial, medical, and automotive customers:
| Certification / Status | Scope |
|---|---|
| Shenzhen Green Factory (2024) | Green, low-carbon, and circular production processes |
| IATF 16949 | Automotive quality management |
| ISO 13485 | Medical device quality management |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management system |
| National High-Tech Enterprise | Technology and innovation standing |
| Specialized & Innovative SME (专精特新) | Niche expertise and innovation capability |
The company’s products span industrial control, medical devices, automotive, new energy, smart home, and consumer electronics — sectors where environmental credentials increasingly sit alongside quality certifications on the shortlist of supplier requirements.
How the Green Manufacturing Work Gets Done
The recognition is not a single technology; it is a set of practices applied across the whole production flow. The table below summarizes the main initiatives JKRGLO has put in place.
| Initiative | What it does |
|---|---|
| Smart energy management system | Real-time monitoring and optimization to reduce energy consumption |
| Cleaner production technology | Lower pollutant emissions during fabrication and assembly |
| Eco-friendly materials R&D | Reduced pollution through better raw-material choices |
| Circular economy practices | Higher resource recycling and reuse rates |
| Energy management system | Structured, measurable control of energy use |
Each of these maps to a concrete part of the PCB and PCBA process — from raw-material selection and process optimization to energy use and waste handling — so the “green” claim is backed by operational changes rather than messaging.
What This Means for JKRGLO's Customers
For a buyer, a supplier’s sustainability posture is increasingly part of due diligence. Green Factory certification provides an external, audited reference point that is easier to evaluate than a self-declared commitment. Combined with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and IATF 16949, it rounds out a profile that covers quality, medical, automotive, and now environmental performance under one roof.
The company has said it will treat the Green Factory status as a starting point rather than an endpoint, with further investment planned in environmental technology, process optimization, and greener product development.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A:What does “Green Factory” certification mean?
It is an official recognition that a manufacturing site meets defined standards for green manufacturing — meaning reduced energy consumption, lower emissions, and more efficient use and recycling of resources across the production process.
A:Why should a PCB or PCBA buyer care about sustainability?
Because environmental performance is becoming a standard part of supplier qualification, especially in the EU and North America. A certified green factory gives buyers an audited, third-party signal about a supplier’s energy use, emissions, and waste handling — rather than relying on unverified claims.
A:What certifications does JKRGLO hold?
JKRGLO (Shenzhen JKR Precision Technology Co., Ltd.) holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and IATF 16949, and received Shenzhen Green Factory recognition in 2024. It is also a National High-Tech Enterprise and a Specialized & Innovative SME.
