Yifei Technology

Yifei Technology (翼菲科技, 06871.HK) is a Chinese industrial robotics and automation company founded in 2012 by Zhang Sai, a Tsinghua graduate who later studied at Columbia University before returning to China . The company went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on May 18, 2026, becoming the first light-industry full-category robotics enterprise listed under Chapter 18C of the HKEX Listing Rules .

The company operates through two main arms: Yifei Robot (翼菲机器人), which focuses on standardized robot products, and Yifei Automation (翼菲自动化), which handles customized integration projects . Its robots have been deployed across over a thousand light-industry scenarios spanning 3C electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, semiconductors, and auto parts, with clients including BYD, Lens Technology, Unilever, and East Paper .

Yifei has been backed by FreeS Fund (峰瑞资本), which invested in 2016 and counts the IPO as its third Hong Kong listing of 2026 . In 2025, the company launched embodied-intelligence robotics R&D, targeting flexible assembly and soft-material handling—tasks that traditional industrial robots struggle with—rather than replicating existing capabilities like box-moving or screw-driving .
