Polimer

What Polimer does

Polimer (开云网页版-开云中国), legally Shenzhen Kaiyun Technology Co., Ltd., is a privately-held, founder-controlled Chinese industrial and technology conglomerate headquartered in Shenzhen's Bao'an District and founded in 2001 by Chairman Zhang Shaolin. The group operates across seven business segments — Mobile Communications (RF components including duplexers, dielectric filters, cavity couplers, low-noise amplifiers, POI multi-system access platforms), Artificial Intelligence (biometric identity verification terminals, face recognition smart locks, intelligent gates, access control devices), Smart Manufacturing (automated assembly and testing equipment for filter production lines), New Materials (electroless silver agents, conductive silicones, polyester powder coatings, environmentally-friendly descalers), Precision Machining (CNC milling, Swiss-type, turning-milling compound), Surface Treatment (electroplating, electroless nickel, powder coating, spray painting), and Die Casting (aluminum die castings for communications and automotive). It employs over 3,600 people across 10+ subsidiaries with manufacturing operations in Dongguan, Jiangmen, and Kunshan, R&D centers across seven Chinese cities and Seoul, Korea, and is recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise with cumulative investment of 500 million RMB.

The group's AI capabilities are anchored on proprietary deep-learning-based face recognition, target recognition, behavior recognition, and near-infrared finger vein recognition, delivered through an integrated hardware-software product family (identity verification R-series, smart locks S-series, smart gates, access control) and four vertical solutions (smart community, public rental housing locks, dynamic face recognition access control, public area surveillance). Its smart manufacturing arm provides turnkey automation solutions for RF filter assembly lines, claiming 40% labor reduction, 50% capacity increase, and 50% quality improvement with a 12-month payback. New materials offerings target filter manufacturing, architectural coatings, and automotive surface treatment.

The business model is B2B direct sales to enterprise customers with no publicly disclosed pricing. Polimer is a core supplier to Huawei (recognized as "Best Supplier" and "Gold Quality Supplier"), Samsung, Alcatel-Lucent, COMMSCOPE, and Omron, with sales driven by long-term supplier qualification relationships rather than transactional channels. Distribution combines direct sales, agent channels, and supplier recruitment, supplemented by trade show participation (e.g., South China International Industrial Automation Exhibition), university-industry partnerships (Xiamen University Materials Institute), and a 2018 joint Cognitive Computing Technology Laboratory with the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Semiconductor Institute funded at 3 million RMB annually.
