Yunqi Capital Leads Sikop Technology's B+ Round, Joining Hands with a "Veteran of Smart Manufacturing" to Explore the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing | Yunqi Capital
Today, as intelligent manufacturing accelerates, advanced industrial equipment is not only a key driver of traditional manufacturing upgrades, but also the core "foundation" for cutting-edge technologies like AI and embodied intelligence to take root.
As manufacturing intelligence accelerates, advanced industrial equipment is not only a key driver of traditional manufacturing upgrades but also the core "foundation" for frontier technologies like AI and embodied intelligence to take root.
Recently, Yunqi Capital completed a Series B+ investment in Shenkepu Industrial, a globalized enterprise focused on high-end intelligent manufacturing, betting on its long-term value in the global high-end equipment sector and supporting its continued service to the world's leading technology manufacturers. This edition of "Yunqi Partners" brings you details on Shenkepu Industrial and this funding round.
Yunqi Capital's Investment Thesis
The Shenkepu team has accumulated extensive industry experience and international perspective in the high-end equipment sector. Over the past several decades, its standardized industrial equipment products have penetrated multiple industries including global automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and pan-semiconductors. Leveraging its standardized process system, precision motion control platform, and global sales and service network, the company has launched multiple standardized high-end industrial devices for pan-industrial scenarios, with globally leading specifications across all key metrics.
Yunqi Capital has long focused on technology-driven global leaders, and expects Shenkepu's high-end industrial product portfolio to transcend industry cycles and empower frontier technology manufacturing.
This round was co-led by Yunqi Capital, Jinfu Capital, Zhuhai Sci-Tech Innovation Investment, Zhuhai High-Tech Investment, Airport Venture Capital, and Haojun Capital, with Yunxi Capital serving as financial advisor. The proceeds will be primarily used for iterative upgrades of core technology, market expansion, international strategic deployment, and green sustainable development, further consolidating the company's leading position in the global high-end equipment sector.
With over 40 years of industry heritage, Shenkepu Industrial has continuously served Fortune 500 clients, maintaining global leadership in depaneling equipment, component insertion, laser processing, and AR/VR device processing and assembly. The company has accelerated its international expansion in recent years, establishing R&D, manufacturing, and service networks across more than 30 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with steadily growing revenue demonstrating robust global competitiveness.
The successful completion of this Series B+ financing not only injects strong momentum into the company's development but also lays a solid foundation for its future strategic planning. The funding will be directed toward the following key areas:
1. Deepening Core Technology R&D
R&D efforts will continue to build on motion control as the foundation, developing a multi-disciplinary integrated R&D system with laser, dispensing, vision, system integration, and automation as core processes—leveraging cross-functional advantages to rapidly break through technical barriers and complete validation and application.
2. Expanding Industry Application Scenarios
While maintaining deep focus on automotive electronics, consumer electronics, new energy, and semiconductors, the company will actively explore collaboration opportunities in other industries to expand application scenarios. This includes venturing into high-end manufacturing fields such as medical equipment and humanoid robots, providing customized intelligent equipment and services to meet the specialized technical needs of different industries.
3. Accelerating International Strategic Deployment
The company has already completed comprehensive deployment of R&D centers, production bases, and marketing networks in major global markets. However, as manufacturing trends toward Southeast Asia, the company will prioritize expanding into the Southeast Asian market in its next phase, actively establishing strategic partnerships with internationally leading enterprises that are building factories or investing locally to enhance global competitiveness.
4. Advancing Green and Sustainable Development
The company is committed to driving manufacturing toward low-carbon, efficient, and sustainable development. Through modular design and recyclable materials, equipment service life can be effectively extended and industrial waste reduced. Meanwhile, Shenkepu is actively exploring the deep integration of clean energy technologies such as photovoltaics and energy storage with intelligent manufacturing, providing green energy solutions for factories.
We look forward to Shenkepu Industrial building a globally trusted high-end industrial equipment brand through the multi-wheel drive of "innovation, cross-boundary expansion, internationalization, and sustainable development."
