Your Partner for Contract Assembly in China
Shield Works operates out of a modern 100,000 sqft facility in the heart of Zhuhai, a key manufacturing hub in China’s Greater Bay Area. As a British-owned and managed enterprise, we combine Western standards of service with on-the-ground manufacturing expertise to deliver high-quality, IP-secure assembly solutions.
Our facility includes dedicated assembly rooms, semi automated and automated assembly lines, ESD-controlled zones for electronics, private fingerprint-access rooms for high-security projects, and smart software systems that offer clients real-time oversight of their production line. With a proven track record across diverse industries and a reputation for reliability and discretion, we’ve become a trusted partner for brands launching IP-sensitive and complex products.
Our Contract Assembly Approach
Step 1
Tailored Project Planning
Every Shield Works contract assembly project begins with your vision. Whether your build involves manual assembly by trained technicians or requires automation, we assess your product requirements and determine the most effective process to bring it to life.
Step 2
Agile, Scalable Execution
Our team is highly adaptable and continuously evolving. We regularly introduce new training, equipment, and specialized processes at our facility, allowing us to quickly align with your needs and improve assembly efficiency — whether it's a new in-house design, reassembly with firmware updates, or transitioning your existing operations from another facility.
Step 3
Quality Assurance & Real-Time Transparency
Experienced supervisors oversee every stage of the assembly process. Our advanced software systems provide live reporting and real-time visibility into your manufacturing activities. With precise quality checks and strict timeline adherence, you gain full confidence and peace of mind — while staying focused on your core business.
What we can assemble for you
From consumer electronics to industrial-grade systems, we support a wide range of contract assembly projects — no matter the complexity. Our team is equipped to handle general product builds, intricate electrical integrations, and specialty packaging solutions, all under one roof.
We work with materials including plastics, metals, composites, carbon fiber, wood, and textiles. Whether your product requires custom wiring, mechanical fastening, bonding, or specialty packaging like POP displays or palletization, our experienced team adapts the process to meet your exact requirements.
For added value, we offer flexible support services that streamline your production process and speed up your time to market. Need to disassemble, rebrand, or repackage a unit? We can swiftly remove and replace materials to match your latest specifications. Before scaling up, we offer simulation and testing services to fine-tune your process, provide DFM feedback, and reduce future risks. And when it's time to iterate on early designs, our prototyping team is ready to help validate your concepts quickly and accurately.

Built-In IP Protection with a True Black-Box Assembly Approach
Many of the products we assemble require the coordination of multiple suppliers and sensitive technologies.
For these cases, Shield Works offers a true black-box manufacturing environment. This means:
- Only you and our vetted upper management team know the full picture of your product.
- Workers only see the components relevant to their specific task, never the full product.
- We create segmented workflows with secure, role-restricted access to protect your designs.
For highly IP-sensitive builds, we go a step further:
- Dedicated, private assembly rooms are available with 24/7 CCTV surveillance.
- Fingerprint-access controls restrict entry to only essential personnel.
- All team members operate under strict NDAs with enforceable protections backed by UK-based ownership.
This layered, controlled approach gives our clients peace of mind when bringing high-stakes products to market, especially when confidentiality and speed are critical.
