Shaoxing Angel Drinking Water Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise focused on the production of drinking water equipment, with an operating income exceeding 1.2 billion yuan in 2024, and products exported to 65 countries including Japan and the United States. In recent years, the company has followed the wave of artificial intelligence development, actively engaged in technological innovation driven by market demand, accelerated the intelligent transformation of equipment, enhanced product added value, and improved consumer experience, continuously launching high-quality drinking water products that meet the needs of domestic and international consumer groups. “Currently, the company’s technical team has collaborated with top domestic AI teams such as Alibaba Cloud and Tuya to seize opportunities in the smart home appliance industry, continuously launching more user-friendly smart products,” said a relevant company representative.
The Binhai New Area’s “4311” modern industrial system clearly states the need to accelerate the construction of the smart home industry cluster and actively strive to create a provincial-level “415X” industrial cluster core area, cultivating an artificial intelligence industry characterized by smart home applications. This year, the New Area has seized development opportunities, promptly formulated industrial development plans, accelerated the layout of the smart home appliance industry cluster, and promoted the home appliance industry in the New Area towards intelligence, greening, and high-end development.
Maihua (Zhejiang) Smart Home Co., Ltd. is located in the Binhai New Area’s Mashan Street, and recently, its new shower room product is undergoing simulation testing at the company’s R&D center. “From raw materials to end products, we have achieved full-process control, effectively ensuring supply chain safety and quality stability,” said a relevant company representative.
Founded in 1974, Maihua (Zhejiang) Smart Home Co., Ltd. relocated to the Binhai New Area in 2007, currently focusing on smart home products, kitchen and bathroom equipment, whole-house panel furniture products, panoramic doors, tempered glass products, AI whole-house smart control systems, and global supply chain green material trading services. To adapt to the development trend of smart manufacturing and further enhance the company’s core competitiveness, Maihua has recently solved the information silos and inefficient processes present in traditional production models through intelligent and digital transformation. By standardizing data and automating processes, it has achieved efficient communication and sharing of BOM (Bill of Materials) and process documents in the R&D department, promoting seamless collaboration among R&D, production, and procurement departments, shortening product development cycles, and enhancing product innovation capabilities.
In addition to Angel and Maihua, there are also smart home appliance companies such as Supor, Xilinmen, and Zhongxin Electric in the Binhai New Area, forming a distinctive industry cluster. After several years of nurturing and development, it has shown a good development trend of block economy. Data shows that the New Area has gathered 29 related production enterprises in the smart home appliance sector, with an output value close to 9 billion yuan last year. Additionally, projects such as Saichuang coffee machines and the Chasing Robot Yangtze River Delta industrial base (Phase I) are also under rapid construction. The popularity of smart home appliances has changed people’s lifestyles and improved their quality of life, while also bringing new development opportunities to the entire industry.
A relevant person from the Binhai New Area Economic Development Bureau stated that they will focus on three major directions: policy guidance, ecological construction, and innovation-driven development, strengthening upstream and downstream industrial chain collaboration, and promoting more enterprises to integrate into the Yangtze River Delta smart home ecosystem, striving to create a nationally influential smart home innovation highland.
