Hesai Technology opens Columbus South China Operations Center in Guangzhou

Beijing (Gasgoo)- On October 9, LiDAR solution developer Hesai Technology officially inaugurated its Columbus South China Operations Center in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province.

Drawing inspiration from Christopher Columbus’s historic voyage to the New World, the center symbolizes Hesai’s bold ambition to expand its reach. Located in the heart of Guangzhou’s CBD near the Pearl River and the iconic Canton Tower, this center serves as a new strategic hub for Hesai Technology in South China, reinforcing the company's global presence and expanding its role in the intelligent driving industry.

The newly opened facility will play a crucial role in Hesai’s efforts to innovate across new business lines, customer engagement, and operational models. By leveraging local resources and fostering collaboration, the center is expected to be a significant engine for the company’s continued growth.

In addition to its expansion in South China, Hesai also operates the Maxwell Intelligent Manufacturing Center in Shanghai, the world’s first integrated LiDAR R&D and manufacturing facility. The facility began operations in the end of 2023. Spanning 52,000 square meters with an investment of nearly 1 billion yuan, this state-of-the-art facility handles the entire LiDAR production process, from design and development to testing and manufacturing, further cementing Hesai’s leadership in the LiDAR sector.
