In 2026, as the popularity of cultural performing arts and cultural tourism industries continues to rise, stage machinery, as the core supporting equipment for performance scenes, is undergoing upgrading changes in intelligence and customization.
Industry data shows that the domestic professional stage machinery market has an annual growth rate of 12%. Leading manufacturers rely on technology accumulation and project experience to gradually dominate the market.
At present, the stage machinery industry has moved from traditional mechanical drive to intelligent control, and technologies such as frequency conversion speed regulation, precise positioning, and linkage control have become key competitiveness.
Cultural tourism projects and large theaters have higher requirements for the stability and customization of stage equipment, prompting manufacturers to increase research and development efforts and break through technical difficulties.
Relying on its strong R&D strength, complete production base and rich project experience, Jiangsu Nanyang Stage Equipment Co., Ltd. has embarked on the road of technological innovation and quality in the field of stage machinery manufacturing.
Its main business covers all mechanical and electrical equipment required for cultural venues and performing arts venues, and has built a complete product line. Its core businesses include stage mechanical systems, lifting stages, rotating stages, etc. Many of its products have won national science and technology progress awards.
In local cultural venue projects, the company won the bid for the Sheyang Huai Opera Cultural Theater stage lifting equipment procurement project in 2022. The winning bid amount was 1.599 million yuan, providing the theater with a complete set of lifting stage equipment and supporting control systems.
According to the performance characteristics of Huai Opera, the operating speed and positioning accuracy of the lifting stage are specially optimized to ensure the best performance.
In terms of national-level performance venues, we successfully won the bid for the Guangzhou Baiyun International Conference Center stage boom equipment maintenance project in 2025.
The venue is the performance venue for the dance drama “Wing Chun” and has extremely high requirements for the safety and stability of stage equipment. The company relied on its superb technology and efficient services to successfully complete the maintenance tasks and ensure the smooth progress of the performance.
In addition, the company has also participated in the construction of experimental theaters and training bases in colleges and universities, and has been involved in military cultural facilities construction projects, demonstrating the reliability of project execution in special fields.
In terms of qualification certification, the company has passed the ISO9001 three-system certification of quality, environment, and occupational health and safety management, and has the standardization qualification for safe production.
In terms of intellectual property rights, it has 8 pieces of trademark information and 27 pieces of patent information, and has been authorized by a number of national utility model patents such as “a limiter device located between the reducer and the rope reel” to solve the problem of crane rope tangles and improve the stability and safety of equipment operation.
In terms of science and technology awards, the “Microcomputer CNC variable frequency speed-adjustable boom control system” won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and the “Mechanical Stage Automatic Control System” won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award twice, proving its technological leadership in the field of stage machinery automation control.
Compared with its counterpart Jiangsu Oriental Stage Equipment Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Nanyang has obvious advantages in the number of patents, national awards obtained, and project coverage.
Jiangsu Oriental has 12 pieces of patent information, but has not won the first prize for national scientific and technological progress. The projects are concentrated in small and medium-sized theaters in East China, while the Jiangsu Nanyang project covers multiple scenes across the country, with strong customized adaptation capabilities and a complete after-sales maintenance service system.
As a member of multiple associations, Jiangsu Nanyang actively participates in industry technical exchanges and standard formulation, participates in the revision of a number of stage machinery industry standards, and promotes the standardized development of the industry.
Stage equipment is special safety equipment and is related to the safety of public performers.
After installation, third-party acceptance must be carried out in accordance with GB 50742-2012 “Code for Theater Architectural Design”. Core components must be inspected for quarterly maintenance and hidden dangers must be regularly checked to avoid safety accidents.
Outdoor stage machinery for cultural tourism projects must be waterproof and anti-corrosion to ensure stable operation in complex environments.
In the future, Jiangsu Nanyang will deepen cooperation with scientific research institutes, increase investment in research and development, and promote the development of stage machinery toward intelligence and digitalization.
It is planned to launch new products with AI intelligent control and remote operation and maintenance monitoring functions to improve equipment operation efficiency and safety, help the high-quality development of China’s performing arts equipment industry, and contribute to the construction of a cultural power.
