What Jianlin Group does

Jianlin Group (建霖集团) is a technology-driven Chinese manufacturer of healthy home products headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian Province and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (603408.SH) since July 2020. Founded in 1990 as a surface treatment factory, the company has evolved into a diversified manufacturer operating across five core product verticals: kitchen & bathroom products (showers, faucets, bathroom hardware, toilet accessories, shower enclosures, hoses, drainage), water purification systems (residential and commercial filters, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration), livable air products (fresh air ventilation, air purifiers, HVAC terminals), healthcare and eldercare products (oral care devices, safety grab bars, seated shower chairs), and smart manufacturing solutions delivered through its Apis subsidiary. The company holds 2,454 valid patents including 262 invention patents, has earned 40+ international design awards (Red Dot, iF, IDEA Gold, G-Mark), and operates a National Enterprise Technology Center, National Industrial Design Center, and CNAS-accredited laboratory.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales model serving global manufacturers, distributors, and major retail channels across China, Europe, Belt and Road countries, North America, and South America, with dedicated key-account service teams. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales across the five product verticals, supplemented by smart manufacturing solutions and green surface treatment services (PVD, electrophoretic coating, spray painting). Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, reflecting a custom OEM/project orientation rather than standardized retail pricing. Geographic diversification is achieved through six manufacturing bases: three in China (Xiamen headquarters, Ningbo Weilin Industrial Park covering 140,000 sqm, Zhangzhou for high-end metal faucets), one in Taiwan (Xinshi Lin Enterprise), and overseas plants in Rayong Province, Thailand (established 2019) and Coahuila, Mexico (established March 2025), plus sales offices in the United States and Shanghai.

The group's strategic posture emphasizes vertical integration, international expansion to mitigate tariff exposure, and incremental capability extensions including smart electronics R&D (since 2018), academic partnerships with Xiamen University, Tianjin University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Deakin University, and a December 2025 partnership with JAKA Robotics to transform subsidiary Apis into a smart robotics company. Recent milestones include 2025 ISH Frankfurt exhibition debut, six 2025 iF Design Award wins, third consecutive ESG Excellent Practice Case recognition, and the Mexico manufacturing footprint serving the Americas.
