What WEIPU does

WEIPU (Guangdong WEIPU Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Chinese manufacturer of industrial electrical connectors, established in 1996 and headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of circular connectors (SA, SP, SY, WS, WF, WY, WK, SF, ST, WA22, RJ45F, WAC3, WD28, WT29, WP20, WB, M23X, TYP/TYPR and Precision series), heavy-duty rectangular connectors, waterproof connectors rated IP67 to IP69K, cable assemblies, distribution boxes, and cable glands, alongside OEM/ODM custom design services. Underlying technology centers on precision-engineered gold-plated contacts, chrome-plated zinc alloy or Nylon66 V-0 housings, PPS inserts rated to 260°C, modular power/signal/network/pneumatic integration, and proprietary waterproof sealing techniques including a patented WK Series push-pull locking mechanism. High-current solutions up to 800A target renewable energy and heavy industrial applications.

WEIPU operates a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint of 80,000 m² in Guangzhou with an annual production capacity of 55 million units supported by 3,000+ molds, supplying 70,000+ connector specifications to a base of 30,000+ customers across 130+ countries. The customer roster spans industrial automation (ABB, KUKA, BOSCH, Kinco), automotive and e-mobility (Tesla, BYD, SAIC, CATL), telecommunications (HUAWEI, China Telecom), energy (STATE GRID, Sinopec/CNPC), consumer electronics (Foxconn, Midea), test and measurement (Rohde & Schwarz, Blackmagic Design), and heavy machinery (Zoomlion, YIZUMI). The company was a principal drafter of China's GB/T 11918-2014 national connector standard and holds IRIS (rail) and IATF 16949 (automotive) certifications.

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales of standard and custom connector products plus OEM/ODM professional services and engineering support. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, reflecting negotiated enterprise contracts. Go-to-market combines dedicated enterprise field sales (phone, WhatsApp, email, website inquiry), OEM/ODM partnerships for tailored designs, a global distributor network for mid-market reach, and active participation in industry exhibitions. Annual output value is reported at 450M RMB (approximately $62-65M USD).
