Hangzhou, January 23, 2026 – Letright Industrial Corporation has grown from a humble local enterprise into a global leader in sustainable outdoor living solutions.

The company is powered by smart technology, bold design, and an unshakable commitment to environmental responsibility.

Founded by entrepreneur Ren Li in 1999 and headquartered in Hangzhou, China, Letright now serves more than 70 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, andNorth America.

Its products range from smart pergolas and modular shading systems to all-season sunrooms and eco-friendly outdoor furniture, many of which are alreadytransforming city rooftops, coastal resorts, and private homes across the world.

A Vision Born in Hangzhou

Letright’s origin is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that outdoor spaces deserve as much care and innovation as the indoors.

“Many people dream, but few execute. Our vision is to create happier humans through better outdoor living,” said Ren.

Inspired by everything from Versailles gardens to quiet mountaintops, Ren believes nature has a profound emotional effect on people - and that design should enhance, not disrupt, this connection.

That belief led him to create Ombra, Letright’s flagship line of solar pergolas -modular, adjustable structures that offer shade, style, and smart integration with solar and climate control systems.

“Smart pergolas will change human lifestyle forever,” said Ren.

“They allow people to blend into nature — not just at home, but when traveling, working, and relaxing.”

Engineering Elegance: Innovation Meets Function

Letright’s product line exemplifies its mission to blend high-performance engineering with visual elegance.

Its retractable awnings, solar-powered roofs, and climate-responsive louvers are not only durable but customizable to the needs of individual clients andclimates - from snow-prone rooftops in Europe to the tropical humidity ofSoutheast Asia.

“There’s an emotional value in outdoor living,” said Ren.

“Historically, it was reserved for royalty and the elite. Now, thanks to design, technology, and social progress, it belongs to everyone.”

Letright is currently expanding its reach to countries like Indonesia and even designing pergola systems capable of withstanding the extreme temperature fluctuations of the Himalayas.

Sustainability at the Core

While many companies are racing to adopt greener practices, Letright was ahead of the curve.

Ren stopped using timber in production as early as 2001 - long before industry regulations tightened.

Today, the company uses FSC-certified woods, recyclable aluminium, and even ocean-reclaimed plastics in its manufacturing process.

“Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us — it’s a responsibility.

“Even if it increases our costs, we do it. Because if thousands of factories take this approach, the world will change for the better,” said Ren.

Letright’s factories are powered in part by solar energy and operate under ISO 14001environmental management standards.

The R&D division is now focused on making sustainable materials more affordable through design efficiency - allowing the company to compete globally without sacrificing its principles.

“Balancing sustainability, beauty, and functionality isn’t easy,” said Ren.

“But with the right mindset and engineering, it’s absolutely possible.”

Resilience Through Innovation

Letright’s rise wasn’t without obstacles. From resolving noise complaints related to industrial cooling systems to developing solar glass panels suitable for MiddleEastern climates, the company has faced thousands of technical and logistical hurdles.

“But with every problem we solve, our team gets stronger.

“We’ve built a culture where difficulty fuels innovation,” said Ren.

Indeed, Letright’s staff - from factory floor workers to engineers and sustainability consultants - work within a system of “gain and share,” where performance istied to profit-sharing and long-term personal development.

“Without passion and shared purpose, we could never achieve something extraordinary,” said Ren.

“Our people treat this like their own company, and in many ways, it is.”

A Global Footprint with Local Roots

Today, Letright is present in over 70 markets. Its smart outdoor solutions have been installed in boutique hotels in southern France, public parks in Singapore, and luxury residences in Los Angeles.

But perhaps its most poignant testimonial came from a North American client who transformed her previously unusable rooftop into a lush personal oasis using Letright’s Ombra pergola system.

“She told me she’d waited years for something like this.

“Now, she has a garden in the sky that she can enjoy year-round. That’s what this is all about - improving lives, one outdoor space at a time,” said Ren.

Despite global success, Ren’s commitment to his hometown remains unwavering. The company continues to invest in Hangzhou, recently supporting local education and sustainability initiatives including solar installations and green community spaces.

Looking Toward the Future

Letright’s next phase of growth is marked by a vision for widespread accessibility. Ren envisions a world where people can locate nearby pergolas — much like they find cafés or co-working spaces — via app or QR scan.

“Imagine you’re out and it’s too hot or too cold,” said Ren.

“You search for the nearest Ombra, find one 100 meters away, scan the QR code, and enjoy a comfortable nap or meeting space. That’s where we’re heading.”

The future, according to Letright, is mobile, modular, and green — and outdoor living will be central to how people design their lives in increasingly urban environments.

More Than a Brand

At its core, Letright is not just about solar roofs or retractable shades. It’s about a mindset shift — toward living in harmony with nature, building sustainably, and sharing space with intention.

“Business, for us, isn’t just about making money,” said Ren.

“It’s about helping people live better. If we can do that while protecting the planet, then we’ve already succeeded.”
