Maker of valves and thermal-management components for HVAC, refrigeration and electric-vehicle cooling systems.
Maker of valves and thermal-management components for HVAC, refrigeration and electric-vehicle cooling systems.
Supplies components into other makers' products, so revenue depends on winning a place in each customer's design and then on that customer's production volumes. Valves for air conditioners and refrigerators were the base business; car thermal parts are the newer line. Founded in Zhejiang and still controlled by the founding Zhang family, it also has shares listed in Shenzhen.
In one line: A Chinese thermal-components supplier akin to Danfoss for HVAC/EV parts.
