The history of Double Stone Steel

Double Stone Steel was founded by Mr Yuan Yi Zhu. Mr Zhu first studied PVD technology in 1991, at the Beijing Institute of Technology. He then worked in the industrial PVD coatings sector where he further improved his knowledge of PVD.
Financed by his family, the first Double Stone Steel factory was opened in in 1994 in Panyu, Guangzhou, China. Mr Zhu wanted to specifically target the decorative/architectural metals sector and developed larger machines and different PVD colours to fulfill the needs of the industry.

The business has continued to grow over the past 20 years and now there are over 10 manufacturing facilities throughout China with over 60 different types of PVD machines and more than 5,000 workers. The annual turnover (processing only) is $20 million.

Richard Storer-Adam is the managing director of Double Stone Steel, and has been in position since January 2012 and has a background in construction and Design and Project management.
