In 2006, Yingfukang China factory(ICF)Settling in Songjiang, ShanghaiSince then, the localization process has been continuously accelerating. Speaking of the most core breakthrough so far, Nicholas emphasized that the localization of Yingfukang is not simply a "technology transfer", but ratherQuan Qiu DNA+Local CustomizationDeep integration.
Previously, the production of Yingfukang's China factory was almost exclusively focused on service tool products, mostly in the "Made in China, Exported Overseas" model. Although these products belong to the growth oriented business of the leak detection tool division, they only cover one of the company's three major business units. Yingfukang has already noticed the innovation speed of China's manufacturing industry, especially in the fields of semiconductors, new energy, etc. The market's demand for testing technology is increasing, which highlights the importance of deepening the local market.
The trade tensions since 2018 have become a key opportunity for Yingfukang to upgrade its strategy in China. Unlike many companies that hastily transferred their production capacity to Southeast Asia, Yingfukang chose to respond calmly:In 2019, the factory completed relocation 2 kilometers from its original location in SongjiangBoth retaining all employees and reserving space for future development.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic once disrupted plans, it also led to new breakthroughs. After overcoming the difficulties of the epidemic, the localization pace of Yingfukang has significantly accelerated:In 2023, PCG vacuum gauges will be produced locally; In 2024, LINXON LX218 helium leak detector completed localizationAt the same time, combining European core technology with Chinese manufacturing wisdom,Developed and launched LINXON LSP500 Pirani vacuum gaugeHelp customers reduce costs by 20% and shorten delivery cycles by 30%, becoming a fan of "tailor-made for Chinese customers";By 2025, the thin film controllers SQC310, XTC/3, andquan qiu re xiaoThe HLD6000 refrigerant leak detector has also successfully achieved localized production.This series of measures has enabled Yingfukang to establish a stable and reliable local partner image in the Chinese market, and continue to supply core products for domestic long tou qi ye.
