1994
Target International was established by Robert Lee as an engineering support firm for US lighting companies that wanted to buy lighting in China.

1997
Target opened our first manufacturing facility, Target Die Casting, producing die castings and permanent mold castings.  We began pouring aluminum in June of that year.

1998-1999
Target established our first assembly facility, Target Assembly, under the same roof as the die casting facility, and began the precision machining and assembly of low voltage lighting parts.  By the end of 1999, Target had 500 employees, including over 20 mechanical engineers.

2000
Target Assembly and offices were moved to their current location in Zhongcun.  Since 2000, Target has developed assembly capability in commercial outdoor lighting, indoor and outdoor architectural lighting, high-end decorative lighting and low voltage systems.

2005
Xiongyi Precision Metalworking Co., Ltd.  was established to house Target's extensive precision machining equipment and knowledge base, and to segregate this specialized skill set from the rest of the business.  Meanwhile, Target group had 1500 employees by the end of that year.

2007
Target broke ground on a new factory space to house our growing die casting business. The new company is called Xiongzhi Industrial Lighting Mfg. Co., Ltd. We began pouring metal at the new facility in November 2007. It is vertically-integrated, so that a die cast luminaire can be completely built in-house, from casting tool & die through final luminaire assembly and packaging.

2008
Xiongyi Precision purchased a local glass blowing facility called Sunrise Glassworks Ltd, moved our northern China glass blowing operations to the south and began producing blown glass locally in March.

By 2009, Target will have completed extensive remodeling to the Target Zhongcun Assembly facility. As our high-end decorative lighting assembly group, this facility will continue to specialize in sheet metal fabrication, spinning, and specialty chemical and painted coatings for high-end architectural and decorative lighting products.
