Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited engages in the manufacture and sale of passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and related parts and components in the People’s Republic of China and overseas markets. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the company operates under key brands such as Brilliance (Zhonghua) for sedans and SUVs and Jinbei for minibuses and light-duty commercial vans. Over the years, Brilliance China has grown from a regional automaker into one of China’s leading joint venture partners in the automotive industry.
A cornerstone of Brilliance China’s business is its equity interest in BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., a 50:50 joint venture with the BMW Group. Through this JV, it manufactures and distributes BMW-branded 3 Series, 5 Series and electric models in China, operating several assembly plants in Shenyang. In its wholly owned operations, the company designs and produces internal-combustion and electric vehicles under its own marques, developing a product portfolio that spans family sedans, sport utility vehicles and light-duty commercial vehicles for both private and fleet customers.
In addition to its vehicle assembly facilities, Brilliance China operates component manufacturing plants, stamping shops and R&D centers. Its production network extends beyond Northeast China, with plants in Anhui and other provinces, and it exports vehicles and parts to markets in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. The company’s integrated supply chain includes chassis and body shops, engine and transmission plants, with ongoing investments in electrification and smart-vehicle technologies.
Brilliance China is majority owned by the Liaoning Provincial Government’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and governed by a board of directors comprising industry veterans and government-appointed executives. Its leadership team focuses on strategic partnerships, quality-driven manufacturing and expansion into new energy vehicles. Under their stewardship, Brilliance China continues to pursue domestic market share growth while leveraging its BMW JV expertise to enhance product quality and technological capabilities.
