On February 11th, AKE officially obtained the Dun & Bradstreet coding certification and received the globally recognized enterprise identity symbol – D-U-N-S® Number. This certification not only signifies a crucial step in AKE’s international strategic layout but also indicates that AKE’s products, services, and reputation have undergone rigorous validation through the global supply chain system, injecting strong momentum into overseas markets.
Dun & Bradstreet coding: the “trust cornerstone” of global business cooperation.
In the international trade arena, the credibility of a company’s identity is the “first key” to unlocking the doors of cooperation. The Dun & Bradstreet coding (D-U-N-S® Number), as a globally recognized 9-digit unique identifier for businesses, is considered a core basis for validating the qualifications of companies by government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and financial institutions in over 200 countries and regions. From North American government procurement bids to EU supply chain access and multinational bank credit assessments, this coding serves as the “international ID card” for companies, using standardized data to eliminate information barriers in cross-border cooperation.
For AKE, a company deeply rooted in the field of car light manufacturing, obtaining the Dun & Bradstreet coding signifies that its technical prowess, production standards, and business reputation have received international authoritative endorsement. It becomes an “accelerator” for AKE and global partners to establish efficient mutual trust, paving the way for both parties to explore broader markets and together delve into the infinite possibilities of car light manufacturing!
Global recognition + policy dividends: a dual engine driving internationalization.
The global market “passport”: The global coverage of the Dun & Bradstreet coding has paved a “highway” for AKE LED to reach overseas markets. The DUNS® coding is not only used by many companies but also by renowned institutions such as the United Nations, the European Union, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and even the U.S. government. In the UK, DUNS® coding is widely used in industrial sectors and related industries like automotive or chemical industries. U.S. importers are gradually requiring global suppliers, including those from China, to provide their DUNS® coding. In the automotive industry policies of countries like India and Brazil, the Dun & Bradstreet coding is becoming a “key” for foreign enterprises to participate in government projects.

Policy empowerment for “going global”: The Ministry of Commerce’s “14th Five-Year Plan for High-Quality Development of Foreign Trade” explicitly supports companies in obtaining international certification qualifications to enhance global competitiveness. Many local governments have included Dun & Bradstreet coding in their policies to support foreign trade enterprises. For example, Guangdong Province offers a maximum subsidy of 500,000 RMB to companies certified by Dun & Bradstreet. With this certification, AKE can quickly access policy resources, reduce overseas costs, and participate in international competition as a “trusted enterprise,” seizing the initiative in the global upgrading of the car light industry.

Decoding the “AKE dividends” of Dun & Bradstreet certification.
Brand Value Enhancement: From “Made in China” to “World Certification.” The authoritative endorsement of the Dun & Bradstreet coding has enabled AKE to upgrade from a “regular supplier” to a “compliant and trustworthy partner” in the eyes of overseas customers. Its core products like LED car lights, xenon lights, and dual LED laser projection lenses can directly access the preferred lists of international buyers through the global database associated with the coding.
Supply Chain Enhancement: Precision matching with global resources. Through the Dun & Bradstreet global business network, AKE can real-time check the credit ratings and compliance records of overseas raw material suppliers, avoiding cooperation risks, reducing supply chain risks, and enhancing procurement efficiency.
Risk Management: The “safety valve” of global operations. The real-time updated global business risk database of Dun & Bradstreet can help AKE dynamically monitor overseas customers’ payment capabilities, industry fluctuations, and geopolitical risks, enabling proactive strategy formulation to ensure stable growth in overseas business.
Moving towards global expansion: AKE’s strategic advancement on the “Path of Light.”
AKE actively explores overseas markets, always driving development with the dual engines of “technology + quality.” It has established friendly cooperation with over 80 countries and obtaining the Dun & Bradstreet coding this time marks another milestone in AKE’s internationalization strategy. In the future, AKE will continue to use light as a medium, trust as a foundation, allowing each car light to carry the quality commitment of Chinese smart manufacturing, illuminating the future vision of global intelligent travel.
