Recently, at the warehouse entrance of a technology company in Mazhu Town, Yuyao, Ningbo, over 3,000 medical cold cabinets of various models were fully assembled and ready for shipment, destined to be exported to the U.S. market.
“Many pharmaceuticals and vaccines require cold chain transportation and storage. Our company specializes in the research, development, and production of medical cold chain products. In recent years, the medical cold chain industry has seen new growth opportunities, and our company’s annual output value has maintained a growth rate of 15%. This year, we expect our output value to reach 80 million yuan,” said Sun Ming, the company’s general manager.
The company has been deeply involved in the refrigeration system production and R&D industry for nearly 40 years, initially focusing on producing refrigeration components such as condensers and evaporators. After restructuring in 1999, the company became a technology enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales, and service, with an annual production capacity of over 100,000 units of special cold chain products. It has established production bases in places like Jiangxi.
After years of development, the company’s medical cold chain products have become well-known OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) suppliers in the field, recognized by medical institutions in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. With a strong market reputation and high product quality, the products are exported to more than 60 countries and regions. While maintaining its focus on the medical cold chain market, the company has also expanded into the research, development, and production of commercial and rural cold chain products, continuously improving its economic benefits.
Quality and integrity are the foundations of the company’s survival. In recent years, the company has successively passed certifications such as the U.S. UL, ETL, European CE, and Japan’s SG certifications. It strictly adheres to the ISO9001 quality management system and ISO14000 environmental management system for product quality management.
“Compared to household and commercial refrigerators, medical cold chain products require more precise temperature control, smaller temperature fluctuations, and greater technical difficulty in the quality of the refrigeration system and refrigerant ratios,” said Sun Ming. After assembly, each product undergoes a series of stringent quality control measures, including vacuum extraction, refrigerant addition, and over four hours of power-on testing, ensuring no loopholes in any production process. Notably, the company developed a medical refrigerator that can reach temperatures as low as -86°C, primarily used in research institutions and laboratories. This product has become a bestseller in over 10 countries and regions.
Technology and talent are vital sources of the company’s core competitiveness. Currently, the company holds over 60 intellectual property rights, including domestic and international patents and software copyrights. It has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, a National Technology-Based SME, and a Provincial “Specialized, Refined, and New” SME. The company invests 6% to 10% of its annual output value in technological research and development. Over the past three years, it has invested over 10 million yuan in technological transformation projects, achieving more stable product quality and significantly improved production efficiency. The company has also implemented a solar photovoltaic project, which saves more than 40% of the company’s energy annually.
On the foundation of establishing an innovation team, the company continues to increase its efforts to attract innovative talent, actively collaborating with universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, and China Jiliang University on industry-university-research partnerships to jointly establish research institutions and engineering technology centers.
The company is committed to enhancing its competitiveness through digital transformation. Its next step is to invest over 3 million yuan to implement a 5G green intelligent factory transformation and upgrading project, aiming to create an advanced modern intelligent factory that will drive the company’s development with renewed energy.
