In the competitive landscape of global educational equipment, leadership is defined by innovation, standard-setting, and a commitment to excellence – and Zhengzhou Liserve Science and Education Equipment Co., Ltd. (Liserve) has embodied these qualities for 50 years. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Zhengzhou, China’s National Central City, Liserve has evolved from a regional manufacturer to a global industry leader, shaping standards, driving innovation, and setting benchmarks for quality and reliability. With a mission to "Serve Education, Promote Education Reform," the company has become a trusted authority in the educational equipment sector, serving 20 countries and inspiring industry-wide progress.
A Journey of Industry Leadership & Global Influence
Liserve’s 50-year legacy is marked by its ability to lead rather than follow, driving change through innovation, standardization, and a relentless focus on excellence. The company’s early years (1975-1995) focused on mastering manufacturing fundamentals, producing high-quality teaching instruments that set local standards. The 1996-2005 period brought restructuring and expansion, with the launch of educational kits and the acquisition of ISO 9001 certification – a move that positioned Liserve as a quality leader in China.
The 2006-2012 phase marked Liserve’s emergence as a standard-setting leader, participating in the drafting of multiple industry standards and expanding into laboratory planning services. By 2011, securing EU CE certification demonstrated its ability to meet global quality benchmarks, while the brand-building era (2013-2017) solidified its leadership position. In 2013, Liserve made its foreign trade debut, exporting innovative teaching instruments and lab equipment that set new standards for performance and reliability. The launch of OEM services in 2015 allowed the company to share its expertise with overseas brands, raising industry standards globally. By 2017, Liserve had earned the title of "National High-Tech Enterprise" and boosted its annual capacity to 500,000 units, with products winning international invention exhibition gold medals and five consecutive provincial innovation awards.
The 2018-2021 period saw Liserve cement its leadership through digital transformation and smart manufacturing. The launch of the "Liserve Custom+" online design platform revolutionized how teaching spaces are planned, while upgrades to intelligent production equipment – including ABB robots, laser cutting systems, and 3D printing – set new benchmarks for manufacturing efficiency. Joining Alibaba International Station in 2020 allowed the company to share its innovative solutions with a global audience, driving industry progress worldwide. By 2021, foreign trade accounted for 18% of total business, with OEM orders from leading global brands further validating its leadership. Recent milestones include establishing an AIGC New Quality Productivity R&D Center in 2022, using AI to drive product innovation, and initiating Customs AEO General Certification in 2024 to set new standards for cross-border logistics efficiency.
