What Champion Group does

Champion Group International Limited is a privately held Hong Kong-founded hygiene solutions company that designs, manufactures, and services commercial dishwashers, professional cleaning chemicals, air purification equipment, and biotech water treatment products. Founded in 1993 by Sun Lixiong, the company originated as Champion Chemicals Limited selling dishwasher detergents, then vertically integrated into equipment manufacturing after accumulating repair-service knowledge of European and American dishwasher designs. It launched Hong Kong's first homegrown commercial dishwasher brand in 2004 (AS-44B) and now operates across Greater China (Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Taiwan) with a Southeast Asia distribution footprint via authorized dealer Pro-Fit Industrial.

The core technology stack centers on patented heat recovery (HeatPLUS) achieving up to 70% energy and 40% water savings in commercial dishwashers, IoT-enabled smart dishwasher management with real-time monitoring and predictive fault diagnosis, non-thermal plasma (NTP) bipolar ion air purification (PureZone) with 99.99% pathogen elimination and zero ozone emissions, and biotech cleaning formulations (PRO-DIGEST, UDR, BLUEWAVE) that biologically decompose grease and urine scale. Manufacturing is vertically integrated through Shanghai Zhuohui Machinery (10,000 dishwasher units/year capacity) and Honghua Source Biotechnology in Shanwei (40,000 tons of chemicals/year capacity). The portfolio is organized around a "three-state" hygiene philosophy covering solid (surface), liquid (water), and gas (air) cleanliness, backed by 30+ patents.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware sales and rentals of commercial dishwashers, recurring chemical sales, a monthly all-inclusive detergent and maintenance service plan (subscription), CHAMPOWER energy assessment services, and channel sales through dealers and kitchenware resellers. GTM is enterprise field sales-led across F&B, hotels, property management, healthcare, food processing, education, and government segments, supported by showrooms, trade shows (HOFEX, FHA Singapore, Build4Asia, RBHK), and direct digital channels. With 9,000+ customers across Greater China and a 98.5% service on-time rate from local spare parts inventory, Champion operates as a regionally dominant commercial hygiene platform rather than a global volume play.
