Professional stage lighting manufacturer for live events and themed venues
GTD is a vertically integrated stage lighting manufacturer based in Guangzhou with over 1,000 employees and a 30,000+ sqm production facility. The tech stack is design-heavy (Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, SketchUp) rather than software-forward, reflecting their core business: hardware design and manufacturing. Current project focus centers on manufacturing cost control, bill-of-materials optimization, and lean production — signals of operational maturity and margin pressure as the company scales distribution across China and internationally.
GTD manufactures professional stage lighting, entertainment lighting, and truss systems for broadcast, live performance, and themed-venue applications. Founded in 2012, the company operates a vertically integrated model encompassing R&D, manufacturing, sales, design, and service. Products are installed in major broadcast productions, arena events, theme parks, and entertainment venues across mainland China, North America, Europe, Russia, UAE, and Singapore. The sales and service network spans Chinese provincial capitals and tier-1 cities. With ~1,000 employees and registered capital of 60.69 million RMB, GTD positions itself as a leading domestic supplier of stage lighting in Asia.
GTD's engineering and design teams use Unreal Engine, Unreal Engine 5, AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3ds Max, and SolidWorks for CAD, visualization, and product design workflows.
GTD is headquartered in Guangzhou (Huadu District), Guangdong Province, with a 30,000+ sqm modern manufacturing facility housing R&D labs, assembly, and electronics production.
