On May 20, 2026, VSS Metal IDs（Guangdong）Co., Ltd. (referred to as VSS), jointly funded by Chinese and Korean enterprises, held a grand opening and unveiling ceremony at an industrial park in Dongguan. Specializing in the R&D, customization and mass production of high-end smart metal cards, the company leverages the technological and channel strengths of both China and South Korea to fill gaps in the high-end card market across China and the Asia-Pacific region, building a one-stop intelligent manufacturing base for metal cards.
This joint venture was co-founded by a local Chinese manufacturing enterprise and a South Korean technical enterprise with in-depth expertise in precision metal processing. It integrates South Korea’s mature slitting technology, LED technology and high-performance patented technologies, paired with China’s well-established supply chains and marketing teams to achieve complementary technologies and coordinated production and sales. Senior executives from Chinese and Korean shareholders, representatives of the RFID industry, cooperating suppliers and other guests attended the unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
VSS offers a full range of smart metal card products covering mainstream application scenarios, including premium metal credit cards, bank VIP debit cards, metal VIP membership cards for hotels and clubs, corporate smart access identity cards, exclusive identification cards for new energy vehicle owners, high-end business metal name cards and other metal card categories.
Industry statistics indicate that China’s metal card market size continues to surge in 2026, with an annual compound growth rate exceeding 12%. Demand for high-net-worth financial cards, smart access control cards and supporting cards for the new energy sector is growing the fastest, with customized high-end orders expanding year by year. The launch of VSS’s Sino-Korean joint venture base will greatly boost production capacity for high-end metal cards, shorten delivery cycles for brand customization and reduce procurement costs.
