The Guangdong Museum is currently hosting a captivating cultural exhibition titled "A Century of Bay Area Sentiments: Modern and Contemporary Cultural Relics Exhibition of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area". Showcasing over 350 precious cultural relics from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, this exhibition narrates the Greater Bay Area's development and cultural integration over more than a century through tangible historical evidence. Among the diverse exhibits, a well-preserved "SUNBEAM" flashlight, with clear markings, stands quietly in a bright display case. Its simple metal body, etched with the traces of time, has attracted numerous visitors to pause and admire.
Measuring approximately 30 centimeters in length, the flashlight boasts a mellow patina on its exterior. The edges of the switch still bear the faint marks of exquisite polishing from decades ago, while the reflector behind the glass lampshade remains bright, with the brand inscriptions clearly legible. This artifact is a typical daily consumer product manufactured by the national industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region in the 1930s, embodying the craftsmanship spirit of that era.
Tracing the history of the "SUNBEAM" brand is equivalent to reviewing a condensed story of the struggles of China's national industry. Founded in Hong Kong, China in 1929, SUNNEX has always adhered to selecting high-quality materials and exquisite manufacturing, earning a solid reputation in a market dominated by foreign goods. Despite experiencing wars and era changes that once disrupted production, its craftsmanship and reputation were passed down orally among veteran craftsmen and loyal users. After China's reform and opening-up, SUNNEX achieved development through innovation – not only continuing the production of classic products but also extending this commitment to quality to the catering supplies sector.
Today, adhering to the original aspiration of "making Chinese brands popular worldwide", SUNNEX has established an advanced manufacturing center covering 118,000 square meters in Taishan City within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, building an intelligent and collaborative supply chain ecosystem. The group strictly follows international quality standards, has obtained multiple authoritative certifications, and holds 133 independent innovation patents. It has successively been awarded honors such as "National High and New Technology Enterprise" and "Guangdong Time-Honored Brand", continuously injecting impetus into the improvement of industry quality and technological innovation. Its core brands, including SUNNEX, are sold in more than 120 countries and regions worldwide, enjoying high prestige globally.
"SUNNEX has maintained consistent product quality. Since 1929, we have insisted on crafting products with the craftsman spirit to serve customers," said a spokesperson for SUNBEAM Group. "The display of the 'SUNBEAM' flashlight in the Guangdong Museum is not only a recognition of our brand's historical value but also a testimony to the enduring charm of Chinese craftsmanship. Looking ahead, SUNNEX will continue to inherit and innovate, bringing high-quality Chinese catering supplies to more global users."
