In October 2025, four product families from ARTDNA (the English name of the Chinese brand 雅点), a switch and socket brand owned by Zhongshan Jiade Electric Co., Ltd., were selected for the exhibition renewal and maintenance program at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing. The package was delivered and formally accepted on 11 November 2025, covering linked wall switches, extension sockets, task lighting and display spotlights. In its official feedback, the NCPA confirmed the products "performed well, with quality and performance meeting standards."
This case study explains why a national cultural landmark chose a Chinese switch and socket supplier, what was supplied, and how the project was delivered in just 18 days.
Project Background: Why the NCPA Chose ARTDNA
The National Centre for the Performing Arts is Asia's largest theatre complex and China's premier venue for the performing arts, located just west of Tiananmen Square in central Beijing. As a national cultural landmark, the NCPA holds its suppliers to exceptionally strict criteria—proven product quality, professional service capability and a solid brand reputation.
When the venue launched its electrical and lighting upgrade in October 2025, ARTDNA won the bid after multiple rounds of review, on the strength of its product quality, full-category lineup and responsive project execution.
