Our Journey

Company History

From a small workshop to a global LPG cylinder manufacturer — explore our growth story.

2019

Factory Founded in Yuyao

On July 3, 2019, founder Zhou Canli registered the Yuyao Geluobo Hardware Factory in Ditang Street, Yuyao — starting with hardware parts, plastic products and mold manufacturing, then quickly moving into export-oriented LPG cylinders for Africa, Latin America and other emerging markets.

2020

1688 B2B Store Launched

Opened our B2B store on 1688.com (in its 7th consecutive year by 2026), forming a factory-direct plus export-order model. Cylinders were exported in volume to Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Ukraine and beyond, building a solid overseas customer base.

2021

Incorporated as a Limited Company

On Oct 29, 2021 the sole proprietorship was deregistered and Ningbo Geluobo Hardware Co., Ltd. was established the same day with registered capital of CNY 1 million. Zhou Canli holds 98.33% as Executive Director & General Manager and Shi Lingling serves as Supervisor. Registered as a VAT general taxpayer on Nov 1, 2021.

2022

Overseas Digital Marketing Launched

In August 2022, the English official website completed ICP registration and overseas digital marketing was officially launched.

2024

A Year of Major Upgrades

Completed customs import/export registration in January and moved to the new plant at No. 90 JinCi Road, Qianwan New District in April, expanding into valve and cock R&D plus steel rolling. The 800,000-cylinders-per-year tech-upgrade project was filed in June. Six utility-model patents were granted (leak-proof, explosion-proof, pressure-sensing, double-layer moisture-proof) and the Geluobo Cylinder trademark was applied for. In December, capital increased from CNY 1 million to 12 million, fully paid in.

2025

Standardization & International Certs

Achieved ISO 9001 quality management certification in January, backed by CE and SGS testing, with production organized to ISO 4706. The 800k-line project passed environmental assessment in March–April. The product line now covers the full 2–51kg range (outdoor portable, household and commercial), with 3 million units of annual capacity exported to 100+ countries. Partnered with Hangzhou Geluobo Import & Export Co., Ltd. for foreign trade, forming an integrated manufacturing-plus-trading structure. 2025 tax credit rating: Grade A.

2026

Own Export Channel & Brand

On July 2, 2026, we invested in Hangzhou Geluobo Import & Export Co., Ltd. (approx. 54.5%) to build our own export channel, and applied for the own-brand trademark GLBGAS on July 7. Today we specialize in LPG cylinders, gas valves, pressure regulators, burners and cylinder accessories, exporting to 10+ African countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire and Togo.
