Selectronic to link with China and Taiwan on automotive LED development

Selectronic are partners and European distributors of LEDs for market leaders Hongli Zhihui Group.

“Partnering with the Taiwanese company Epistar forms a strategic alliance aimed  at harnessing resources from both sides to develop automotive lighting products,” says Selectronic md Kevin Dry, “Hongli’s automotive interior and exterior LED lighting applications already provide high luminous products with good reliability and low electricity consumption for products including head lamps, daytime running lights, fog lamps, turn signals, brake lamps, work lamps, dashboard backlights, reading lamps and more.

Selectronic and Hongli’s tie-up with Epistar was sealed with a strategic collaboration agreement which runs to October 2021.

During that time Hongli will buy Epistar’s patented automotive LED chips worth 500million RMB ($75.37 million) to produce packages exclusive to automotive lighting. As well as developing automotive lighting products, the coalition also aims to cut verification time.

”This coalition will also protect Hongli products from potential patent infringements and provides Epistar chips of substantial quality, enabling us to bring down prices and speed up expansion of the two companies into this sector,” said Dry.
