Stander Robotics filed its third prospectus with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 27 July, aiming for a main board listing through the Chapter 18C pathway for specialist technology companies.
Two previous filings, in June 2025 and January 2026, lapsed due to review time limits. This time, the company arrives with fresh momentum: a world championship in logistics sorting at ICRA 2026’s WBCD2026 competition, jointly with HKUST(GZ).
Ten years in industrial mobile robots
Founded in 2016, Stander has spent a decade in industrial intelligent mobile robots. Its core team carries a strong Harbin Institute of Technology gene. Founder Wang Yongjin studied control engineering at HIT and competed in robot contests representing the university. CTO Li Hongxiang and COO Wang Jinpeng are also HIT alumni.
According to CIC data, Stander ranked fourth in China by sales volume in 2025 with a 4.0 per cent market share. By shipments, it is among the global leaders in high-tech industries. In the 3C and automotive sectors, it holds the world’s number two position with 4.1 per cent share each. In semiconductors, it ranks fifth with 0.9 per cent.
Capital and valuation
Stander has attracted investment from Xiaomi’s industrial fund, NIO Capital, Liangxi Science and Technology Innovation Fund, CSC Financial, Source Code Capital, MiraclePlus, and CAS Capital. Its pre-IPO valuation reached 2.1 billion yuan.
The company plans to use proceeds for core robot technology platform development, RoboVerse system expansion, domestic and international sales network growth, and production capacity expansion.
