Alert! This is the first “A+H” listed company in the domestic industrial robot sector. It is a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It is one of the first batch of listed companies in the Year of the Horse. It is also the first listed company in Nanjing this year.
On March 9th, Nanjing Eiston Automation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Eiston”) was listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
This is another significant move by Eiston in the capital market following its listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2015. As a result, Eiston has become the first “A+H” listed company in the domestic industrial robot sector. With the ringing of the opening bell on that day, Eiston also became one of the first listed companies in Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the Year of the Rooster.
Established in February 2002, Eston mainly engages in the research, development, manufacturing and sales of industrial robots, intelligent manufacturing systems, industrial robot workstations, as well as core components for automation, motion control systems and motion control solutions. With the continuous implementation of industrial embodied intelligence technology in recent years, the application scenarios of robots are continuously expanding. As of now, Eston has jointly collaborated with benchmark customers and successfully created hundreds of intelligent manufacturing solutions in over 30 major industries such as automotive manufacturing, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, semiconductors, and electronic manufacturing.
In 2025, Eston continues the trend of the continuous high growth in the industrial robot market and has ranked first in the domestic robot market for eight consecutive years. In 2026, Eston accelerates the layout of the intelligent technology ecosystem and released the iER.OS control base and the new-generation E-Noesis AI industrial cloud platform at the beginning of the year, officially forming a “AI + Robot” full-stack technology chain that integrates system developer ecosystem, application software ecosystem and AI digital management platform at three levels.
It is reported that for this Hong Kong stock listing, Eston will issue 96.78 million shares globally, successfully attracting many well-known investment institutions such as Harvest Oriental and Hengtong Optoelectronics International, fully demonstrating the high recognition of the international capital market for the company’s development prospects.
“With the continuous development of the digital and intelligent trends, the global market size of intelligent manufacturing is expected to exceed one trillion. Listing on the Hong Kong stock market will open a new strategic starting point for Eston. As a leading brand in China’s industrial robots, Eston will continue to invest resources to develop more competitive intelligent equipment and robot products.” At the listing ceremony on that day, Eston’s president Wu Kan said, based on the company’s rich industry solutions, as well as its global 75 business network layout and hundreds of ecological partners, relying on the advantages of the Hong Kong international financial center, Eston will adhere to long-termism and continuous innovation, providing more intelligent, green and efficient automation solutions for the global manufacturing industry.
It is known that under the combined influence of various factors such as policy benefits, financing needs, and global expansion, the Hong Kong IPO market has remained highly active in recent years.
In 2025, among the 5 listed companies in Nanjing, Yujian Kang’an, Weilizhibo and Mingji Hospital would have successively listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising a total of over 2.1 billion RMB. By the end of last year, 33 enterprises in Nanjing had successfully listed in Hong Kong, with a total market value of 380.6 billion RMB. Additionally, including Nanjing Nuoling Biotechnology Technology Co., Ltd. which recently submitted its prospectus and Zhengxiang Medicine (Nanjing) Group Co., Ltd., there are currently 17 enterprises in Nanjing queuing up for IPO in Hong Kong.
The successful listing of Eiston on the Hong Kong capital market means that the total number of enterprises listed in Hong Kong by Nanjing has increased to 34, and the total number of domestic and overseas listed enterprises in the city has also increased to 168.
