On the afternoon of September 23rd, Xu Zaijun, Secretary General of Guangdong Apartment Management Association and Guangzhou Real Estate Rental Association, and his delegation visited the headquarters of Weber Group for exchange and visit. Liu Zhenggen, Managing Director of Weber Home Appliances, and relevant department heads received and warmly welcomed them. In the Weber Brand Experience Hall, Weber tour guides led visitors to revisit Weber's development history. In 1998, Weber was the first to introduce the electrostatic dry powder enamel production equipment imported from Germany's EISENMANN, and developed and produced the first electrostatic dry powder enamel inner pot electric water heater in China, solving the industry problem of water leakage in the inner pot of electric water heaters. Afterwards, Weber continued to deepen its cultivation in the hot water field, and a series of innovative products were born one after another, promoting the continuous development of the hot water industry.
Product safety is the first checkpoint of product quality. At the Weber Brand Experience Hall, Secretary General Xu Zaijun and his delegation also experienced the true principle of Weber's anti leakage water heater on site. As one of the four major alliance brands of patented anti leakage walls in the industry, Weber's entire line of electric water heaters is equipped with patented anti leakage wall technology, allowing users to enjoy a safe and worry free bathing life. Since 2002, Weber has led the drafting of three major industry standards for electric water heaters: the "National Reliability Test Standard for Electric Water Heaters", the "National Enamel Inner Ware Standard for Electric Water Heaters", and the "National Energy Efficiency Level Standard for Electric Water Heaters", laying the technical foundation for the industry. As a national standard drafting unit, Weber has always led the development of the industry.
In the water heater production workshop, Secretary General Xu Zaijun and his delegation also witnessed the birth process of Weber electric water heaters on site. The automation coverage rate of key components reached 80%, from sheet metal, stamping, spraying, to final assembly and testing. At the same time, they praised the large-scale application of automation such as robots in the water heater production process of Weber production lines, which not only improves efficiency and reduces costs, but also stabilizes and guarantees product quality. They also felt the pace of transformation and upgrading of China's home appliance industry manufacturing on site. With strong intelligent manufacturing capabilities and advanced intelligent manufacturing processes, Weber has established an annual production capacity of up to 5.5 million units and provides professional hot water solutions for 56 countries and regions worldwide.
Liu Zhenggen, Managing Director of Weber Home Appliances, warmly welcomes Secretary General Xu Zaijun and his delegation to visit and guide Weber. Subsequently, both parties discussed and shared the overall layout of Weber Home Appliances in the conference room. In order to better meet user needs, Weber Home Appliances has formed a multi category empowerment development of electric heating products, combustion heating products, and kitchen appliances (range hoods, gas stoves, disinfection cabinets). At the same time, five development directions were proposed, including product safety and health integration, intelligent experience scenario, standardized service processes, whole house hot water solutions, diversified marketing channels, and comprehensive leadership of the industry development pattern. Behind the rapid development of the industry, Weber's practice of social responsibility and brand mission has never stopped. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Weber has assisted in the national epidemic prevention projects, covering more than one-third of the provinces and cities in China. With efficient delivery, installation, and rapid response, Weber has been highly recognized and acknowledged by local governments, contributing Weber's strength to China's epidemic prevention projects.
Both parties also had discussions and exchanges on promoting standardized one-stop services for apartment channels during the discussion. Guangdong Apartment Management Association and Guangzhou Real Estate Rental Association, as leading apartment resource platforms in the industry, and Weber, as the source manufacturer of the manufacturing supply chain, integrate and empower each other to provide one-stop service systems for millions of apartment operation enterprises.
After this visit, Xu Zaijun, Secretary General of Guangdong Apartment Management Association and Guangzhou Real Estate Rental Association, led apartment member entrepreneurs to express their satisfaction with the trip and highly recognized Weber products. Apartment entrepreneurs also exchanged and discussed the industry situation, hoping to establish an effective cooperative relationship with our company, achieve complementary advantages, and integrate development. Weber always puts customer needs at the core, hoping to collaborate with real estate and apartment operators through original technology and one-stop efficient services. Through strong alliances and resource integration, we aim to create personalized, customized, and complete living spaces, injecting new vitality into the development of the apartment industry.
