In recent years, the global technology industry has advanced rapidly, with artificial intelligence (AI) becoming a strategic focal point in global competition. The emergence of AI models like ChatGPT, China's "Doubao," and DeepSeek has propelled AI to the forefront of national strategies. As a critical component of AI devices, high-speed signal connectors have also become a key battleground. The growth of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G communications, IoT, AI, and autonomous driving continues to drive demand for high-performance connectors. According to QYResearch, the global high-speed connector market was valued at approximately ¥15.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach ¥21.6 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
Invitation for Global Distribution
Mr. Song Shiqiang (founder of Kinghelm and Slkor) notes that clients increasingly prioritize miniaturization, flexible pairing, and rapid connectivity in connectors. In response, Kinghelm Electronics (www.kinghelm.net) has strengthened R&D, talent acquisition, and quality control. Its production base in Luzhai County, Guangxi, is currently installing and testing new equipment to support mass production of next-gen products.
Substitute for TE
Under Mr. Song’s leadership, Kinghelm and Slkor brands have gained significant recognition and reputation. This has streamlined operations for downstream distributors, shortening the timeline from sample testing to bulk delivery. As technology-driven manufacturers, both companies focus on product innovation and quality management, collaborating closely with distributors to build an ecosystem of partnerships. This model ensures rapid delivery of new products to engineers and procurement teams, offering comprehensive technical and commercial support for a win-win outcome.
