Formerly known as Guizhou Huahai Doors and Windows Engineering Co, Guizhou Guicai was initially engaged in aluminum alloy profile trading.
The company's founder, Li Haining, hails from Guizhou province. Upon returning to Guangdong province after completing his university studies, Li witnessed Guangdong's dedicated efforts to reform and open-up, particularly in aluminum profile trading, and Guizhou lacked such traders at the time.
In 2005, Li returned to Guiyang and established Guizhou Huahai Doors and Windows Engineering Co in GETDZ, operating in three sectors: construction engineering, aluminum profile trading, and the building materials market.
With increasing revenue, in 2012, Guizhou Huahai Doors and Windows Engineering Co secured its first industrial land in GETDZ and rebranded as Guizhou Guicai Innovation Technology Co. After careful analysis, the company transitioned from a trading company to a manufacturer of aluminum alloy profiles.
In 2017, the company acquired new industrial land in GETDZ and constructed a 100-mu (6.67-hectare) aluminum profile production base in Xiaohe-Mengguan Industrial Park.
Following the commissioning of the new base in 2018, with more comprehensive production lines, a wider product range, and increased capacity, the company embarked on quantitative growth, achieving a qualitative improvement in product quality. In its inaugural year of operation, the company captured 60 percent of the aluminum profile market share in Guizhou.
In 2019, as Guiyang vigorously promoted the transformation and upgrading of physical enterprises, the company seized the opportunity to address the shortcomings of traditional management through informatization.
Implementing a new management model, the company streamlined processes in procurement, sales, finance, research and development, and safety production, enhancing its management standards.
Also since 2022, the company has actively collaborated with domestic and provincial universities to advance core industry technologies through industry-academia-research partnerships.
Currently partnered with Central South University, Guizhou University, and the Guizhou Institute of Technology, the company has successfully converted over 50 patent achievements, establishing itself as a national enterprise with a competitive advantage in intellectual property rights.
