About Shield Works
British-owned precision manufacturing in South China.
Shield Works is the IP-protected manufacturing arm of C2W Group. Established in 2019 to give Western brands a Western-managed, ISO-certified production facility in Zhuhai, built around a four-layer IP protection model and twenty years of group manufacturing heritage.
Identity
A 100,000 sq ft IP-protected facility in Zhuhai.
Shield Works is a British-owned and managed precision assembly, IP-protected manufacturing, and warehousing facility in the heart of Zhuhai, an integral part of South China's Greater Bay Area. The 100,000 sq ft operation occupies Floor 2 and Floor 4 of Precision Workshop Building C in Zhong Yuan Industrial Park, Sanzao Town, Jinwan District.
We deliver customised OEM manufacturing, assembly, and warehousing inside individual IP-protected production zones, run by three British founding directors and a Shield Works management team based on-site full-time. Western standards are applied directly, supported by ISO-certified work practices, transparent client communication, and the operational flexibility of a purpose-built facility.
Shield Works was incorporated in September 2019 and began production in January 2020. It operates under PRC law as a 100% Foreign Invested Enterprise, wholly-owned by C2W Group, the Hong Kong-registered, British-owned supply chain group founded in 2005. The 20 years of China manufacturing experience and 20,000+ completed projects behind C2W back every Shield Works production run.
Our Vision
Risk-free China manufacturing, on Western terms.
Shield Works provides customised OEM manufacturing, assembly, and warehousing solutions to our international client base within individual IP-protected production zones housed inside the Shield Works facility.
Guided by twenty years of C2W Group manufacturing experience in China, we provide risk-free manufacturing to internationally recognised quality standards.
We strive to deliver product on-time, with rapid, open, and honest communication throughout production from our highly skilled manufacturing management team.
At Shield Works we operate with open, transparent, and flexible working practices, providing clients with all the usual advantages of China supply with the added reassurance and security of a highly controlled, customised, tier-one production environment.
We aim to offer clients unprecedented access and clarity on their daily production activities, helping to remove both the risk and uncertainty from their China-based supply chain.
Our Values
The standards we hold ourselves to.
Our values set the behaviour we expect from the team, and they shape how we hire, train, and reward people.
Building precision products in China takes skilled, committed people from different backgrounds, and a culture that keeps them curious and gives them room to do their best work.
-
Excellence
We hold every build to the standard we would want as the customer. No detail is too small to get right.
-
Innovation
When a product needs a process we do not have, we build it: new tooling, equipment, and in-house techniques rather than forcing the job down an existing line.
-
Quality
Consistent, inspection-backed quality is the core of what we sell. We keep raising it through training, better tooling, and learning from every issue.
-
Collaboration
We work as one team, with each other and with the client, and we say what we think when it affects the build.
-
Accountability
We do what we said we would and own the result. We follow our processes, and still do what is right for the customer.
-
Courage
We speak up for the right decision, even when it is the harder one.
-
Integrity
We are straight with clients, colleagues, and suppliers. Trust is built by doing what we say.
