The name " Dongbei " means " Northeast " in Chinese. The Dongbei Piano Factory's history can be traced back to the early 1920's. It was once part of the Shanghai Piano Company, the only piano manufacturer in all of China. In 1952 it became an independent company, moving to northeast of China where the wood materials are of the highest quality in all of Asia. The company was newly named Dongbei Piano Factory.

Many changes have taken place in their fifty year history, especially the last three. Dongbei has become one of the largest producers of grand and upright pianos. They now rank in same category of many of the worlds finest piano makers.

The factory covers an area of nearly 500,000 sq ft. They employ 2300 highly trained individuals. The majority of the key equipments is imported from Germany, Sweden and Japan. Over 1000 pieces of high tech equipment are used in the production of these instruments.
