Yancheng Jingxin Glassware Co.,Ltd

Yancheng Jingxin Glassware Co., Ltd. was founded in 2009 in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China, by a team of glass-industry veterans with combined 50+ years of experience in soda-lime and borosilicate glass forming. The company started as a 600m² workshop producing handblown decorative shades for domestic Chinese furniture brands, expanded to 1,800m² in 2013 with the addition of machine-pressed production for export markets, and reached its current 4,500m² facility in 2018 following ISO 9001 certification and SMETA audit qualification. Major milestones include first US private-label contract (2014), establishment of in-house mold design and tooling department (2016), addition of lampwork borosilicate line (2019), and SMETA 4-pillar re-audit (2023). Today the company exports to 150+ countries with sales offices supporting North American, European, Middle East, and Southeast Asian markets through bilingual technical and account management teams.

Jingxin Glassware’s core mission is enabling lighting brands, interior designers, and hospitality buyers to access high-quality custom and standard glass lampshades with reliable B2B service — combining the design flexibility of artisan production with the consistency and scale of engineered manufacturing. The company focuses exclusively on glass lighting components (lamp shades, pendant globes, decorative diffusers) rather than completed luminaires, allowing specialization in glass-forming technology and avoiding competition with customer-brand lighting fixture manufacturers. This single-product-category focus drives deeper process knowledge, broader mold library, and faster response times for niche requests like explosion-proof industrial shades, ultra-thin biophilic forms, or smart-lighting-compatible thermal-rated globes. Approximately 85% of revenue is OEM/ODM for lighting brands; remaining 15% is direct supply to hospitality, retail, and architectural project channels through specifier networks.

Jingxin Glassware is led by Mr. Deng Zhaojing (Founder & General Manager), a 30-year glass-industry veteran with prior production-management roles at major Chinese glass tableware exporters before founding Jingxin in 2009. The technical team includes a head of engineering with 18+ years in glass mold design (graduate of Wuhan University of Technology, China’s leading materials-science institution), three senior artisan glassblowers each with 15+ years of mouth-blowing experience, and a quality manager certified in ISO 9001:2015 internal auditing and AQL/SPC methodology. The international sales team comprises four bilingual account managers (English, Spanish, German, Arabic) with backgrounds spanning lighting industry trade, freight forwarding, and B2B technical sales. Total workforce is approximately 85 employees across production, quality, design, and administrative functions, with average tenure exceeding seven years — reflecting investment in skills retention critical to artisan glass production consistency.

Jingxin maintains four primary third-party certifications, each independently verifiable through the certifying body: (1) ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management — audited annually by SGS, certificate number available on request, valid for three-year cycle with annual surveillance, (2) ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management — covering waste, emissions, and resource use, also SGS-audited, (3) SMETA 4-Pillar (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) — covering labor standards, health & safety, environment, and business ethics, audit reports accessible to buyers via Sedex platform with member-link sharing, and (4) BSCI Code of Conduct compliance — supporting European retail buyers. Product-level certifications include RoHS, REACH SVHC declaration, California Proposition 65 compliance, and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 for food-contact applicable glass. Buyers requiring additional certifications (BIFMA, Greenguard, WELL, LEED material disclosure) can request specific test reports at standard third-party lab cost ($350-$1,200 per test category).

Jingxin Glassware is a direct factory (manufacturer), not a trading company or sourcing agent — meaning all production occurs in the company’s wholly-owned 4,500m² Yancheng facility under direct quality control, with no middleman markup or coordination layer between buyer and production floor. Key practical differences for buyers include: (1) direct access to engineering and production teams for technical discussion (vs filtered communication through agents), (2) factory-direct pricing typically 15-25% lower than equivalent product sourced through trading companies, (3) ability to schedule factory audits and live inspections (Jingxin welcomes buyer visits and provides Yancheng airport pickup), (4) full document traceability from raw material COA through final QC reports, and (5) IP and design protection through direct NDA with the manufacturer. Trading-company-sourced product often involves opaque manufacturing chains, slower issue resolution, and inability to verify SMETA/ISO compliance claims independently.

The international sales team supports four primary languages: English (primary, with native-fluent account managers handling US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, and Southeast Asia), Spanish (Latin America and Spain markets), German (DACH region and northern European specifications), and Arabic (Middle East and North Africa hospitality projects). Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken across the production team for direct factory-floor questions. Working hours are GMT+8 (China Standard Time) 08:30-18:00 Monday-Friday and 09:00-13:00 Saturday, with rolling night-shift email coverage from a dedicated US-hours response team ensuring buyer queries receive same-business-day responses regardless of origin time zone. WhatsApp, WeChat, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom are all supported for buyer communication; technical drawing review meetings can be scheduled in buyer-friendly time slots upon request, typically 6am-9am or 8pm-11pm CST for North American/European buyers.

Yes — factory visits are actively welcomed and follow a structured agenda accommodating buyer objectives. Standard visit options include: (1) facility tour (2-3 hours) walking buyers through raw material receiving, batch mixing, furnace forming, annealing, finishing, QC, and packing operations, (2) social/SMETA audit support — Jingxin coordinates with buyer-nominated audit firms (typically Bureau Veritas, SGS, Intertek, TÜV) providing facility access, employee interviews, and documentation review windows, (3) production observation for active orders allowing buyers to inspect their goods at hot-end or final QC stage, and (4) sample development workshops with engineering team for hands-on prototype discussions. Yancheng is 3 hours from Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) via high-speed rail; the company provides Shanghai-Yancheng-Shanghai car service or rail ticket booking. Hotel recommendations and on-site bilingual hosting are arranged for all visitor itineraries with 7-day advance notice.

Typical buyer profiles include: (1) lighting brands and luminaire OEMs (40% of revenue) — North American and European companies sourcing branded shades for their lamp/pendant ranges, with annual order volumes 5,000-150,000 pieces per design, (2) hospitality and contract specifiers (20%) — hotel groups, restaurant chains, and architect firms procuring project-specific custom shades for design installations, (3) retail and e-commerce brands (25%) — DTC lighting brands, home-goods retailers, and Amazon/Wayfair sellers, MOQs 500-3,000 pieces per SKU, and (4) wholesale distributors and importers (15%) — regional lighting wholesalers supplying electrical contractors and small lighting stores. Partnership structures range from one-time project supply to long-term annual contracts with locked pricing, dedicated production capacity reservation, exclusive design windows (12-24 months), and integrated logistics including DDP shipping, US/EU warehouse staging, and dropship fulfillment to buyer’s customers.

IP protection follows a layered framework: (1) mutual NDA executed before any technical drawing or design exchange, with 5-year confidentiality term covering trade secrets, designs, technical specifications, pricing, and commercial terms, (2) design exclusivity clauses available for custom-developed shapes — Jingxin commits not to sell the buyer-funded design to other customers in specified regions (typically 12-24 month exclusivity, geographic-scoped to buyer’s primary markets), (3) buyer-owned tooling — molds funded by buyer remain buyer property, can be transferred to alternate suppliers if relationship ends, are stored free of charge for 3 years with active production, (4) photo and design watermarking — buyer-specific samples and prototype photos are not used in public marketing materials, gallery, or trade-show booths without explicit written consent, and (5) China-side trademark and design-patent registration support — Jingxin can assist buyers in filing Chinese IP protection covering their proprietary designs, working with partner IP law firms in Shanghai.

New buyer onboarding follows a five-step process designed to qualify mutual fit within 2-3 weeks: (1) initial inquiry via website contact form or email (sales@jxlampshade.com) describing buyer’s product category, target volumes, target launch date, and any reference designs or competitor products being considered, (2) introductory video call (30-45 minutes) with assigned account manager to discuss requirements, share company capabilities, and align on next steps, (3) NDA execution and exchange of buyer’s technical drawings or sample request, (4) sample production and shipment (15-25 days depending on whether existing tooling or new mold development is required), and (5) sample evaluation, pricing negotiation, and PO placement. Payment terms for first-time buyers are typically 30% deposit at order confirmation and 70% balance against B/L copy; established repeat buyers may qualify for net-30 or net-60 open account after 2-3 successful transactions. Trade references and bank verification are exchanged during step 2 for both sides.
