China National Arms Equipment Group Corp.
China South Industries Group Co., Ltd. (中国兵器装备集团有限公司, abbreviated CSGC; shown on this page under the literal translation “China National Arms Equipment Group Corp.”) is a wholly state-owned limited liability company (有限责任公司（国有独资）) registered in Beijing, China. Its unified social credit code is 91110000710924929L, its registered address is No. 46 Sanlihe Road, Xicheng District, Beijing, and its exchange filings give its establishment date as 29 June 1999. It is one of China’s central state-owned defence-industry enterprises.
Its registered business scope covers state-owned asset investment, operation and management; the research, production, support and servicing of weapons and military equipment; and the research, manufacture and sale of vehicles, power equipment, opto-electronic information products, machinery, engineering and construction machinery, chemical materials (excluding hazardous chemicals), fire-fighting equipment, medical and environmental equipment, and metal and non-metal materials. Exchange filings published in 2026 describe its operating businesses as light weapons and special-purpose equipment, opto-electronics and precision optics, protective equipment, pharmaceutical packaging materials and automotive components.
The most material recent development is a demerger. On 4 June 2025 the company notified the market, through exchange filings, that the State Council had approved splitting off its automotive business as a separate central enterprise. The split was carried out as a continuing demerger (存续分立): China South Industries Group Co., Ltd. kept its legal personality and its identifier, the demerger was registered with the market regulator, and the split agreement was signed on 27 July 2025. Its registered capital was reduced from RMB 36,564.95 million to RMB 16,564.95 million. Financial figures published before July 2025 therefore include an automotive business that no longer belongs to this company.
The latest company financials located in a primary filing are historical: for 2017 China South Industries Group Co., Ltd. reported consolidated total operating revenue of RMB 302.69 billion and consolidated net profit of RMB 17.08 billion (audited, as recited in a December 2018 exchange filing). No post-demerger revenue figure was found in a primary source.
Registry status: the national enterprise credit information publicity system (GSXT) is captcha-protected and was not used, so the current register status was not independently checked; exchange filings dated August 2026 continue to refer to the company as an existing entity. Its Legal Entity Identifier 300300HRGPQ7KP38FT90 is shown by GLEIF with entity status ACTIVE but registration status LAPSED (renewal was due 20 February 2024). The company should not be confused with China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (中国兵器工业集团有限公司, NORINCO Group, USCC 91110000710924910P), a different central enterprise with a similar Chinese name.
