Dubai: TCL is reinforcing its long-term commitment to innovation in clean, healthy air and sustainable cooling ecosystems following the inauguration of its new Guangzhou Smart Manufacturing Base, a milestone that underscores the scale of the company’s global air conditioning ambitions as demand for advanced cooling solutions continues to rise across international markets.

The new facility marks an important step in TCL’s manufacturing expansion, having already
contributed to the company reaching a production milestone of 100 million air conditioning
units within five years, reflecting both growing global demand and the company’s accelerating presence in the category. With products now sold in more than 160 countries and regions, TCL continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading air conditioning manufacturers.
Sunny Yang, General Manager of TCL MEABG, said, “Reaching 100 million air conditioning units in just five years is a significant milestone for TCL and reflects the growing trust consumers around the world continue to place in our products. The opening of this new smart manufacturing base demonstrates our long-term commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and the ability to meet rising demand with greater speed and precision across key markets.”

Positioned as one of the most advanced single-base intelligent air conditioner manufacturing
facilities in China’s Greater Bay Area, the manufacturing base is expected to generate 3 billion Yuan or AED 1.6 billion in output value in 2026, with plans to exceed 10 billion Yuan or AED 5.4 billion over the next five years. The site has been built to support an annual production capacity of 8 million units, helping TCL respond more efficiently to rising demand in growth markets worldwide.

At the centre of the facility is an AI-powered production system capable of manufacturing one air conditioner every seven seconds, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of TCL’s next-generation manufacturing capabilities. Supported by intelligent automation and advanced robotics, the facility improves labour efficiency while ensuring greater consistency in product quality across every stage of production.

“This facility represents more than manufacturing scale — it reflects how TCL is investing in
smarter systems that can support the future of sustainable energy and healthy air solutions,”
Ms. Yang added. “By strengthening our global production capabilities, we are better positioned to deliver solutions that combine performance, reliability, and efficiency for consumers across our markets.”
