Ding Wei’s graceful appearance contained a heart that constantly challenged difficult problems. This was a vivid impression he left behind.
'When we enter an industry, we must shake the industry and challenge the industry's difficulties to promote technological progress in the entire industry. 'Ding Wei, senior vice president of the American AO Smith Group and president of the China Investment Corporation, told China National Grid that Different from comprehensive home appliance companies, AO Smith needs to focus on innovation and R&D to solve industrial problems with original technology.

In 2017, Ding Wei was successively awarded the entrepreneurial award in the field of household appliances and economic figures. In addition, he also successively held guest lectures on Tsinghua entrepreneurs and business management classes at Peking University. Under his leadership, AO Smith entered the Chinese market for 20 years. Annual average annual growth rate of 20%-35%.
Adhere to innovation and R&D, solve original industrial problems with original technology
When asked about the secrets of AO Smith's successful operation, Ding Wei explained: 'Different from the operating strategies of some comprehensive home appliance companies, AO Smith chose to go professionally, rely on technological competition, rely on product research and development, and use core technologies. Occupy the commanding heights and solve industrial problems. '
'We enter into any industry to occupy the market, not through low-cost strategies or standing on the air, but instead occupy the commanding heights of technology. In the development of China, we dare to enter new products. If we evaluate it, it is a sunrise industry, and we Have the ability to occupy the technical commanding heights, we will do it. As long as AO Smith enters a field, it needs to be responsible for the development of the industry, so that the industry can develop soundly.
China National Grid understands that AO Smith's business development path is to identify consumer pain points and industry problems through precise insights, conduct R&D research, find solutions, solve industry problems with original technologies, avoid homogenous competition, and then obtain Sustained benefits and returns.
Formaldehyde Purifier Challenges Industry Limits
'Being a formaldehyde purifier is on the one hand taking into account the health needs. On the other hand, our topic is to do a real solution to the user's pain points. ' Ding Wei introduced that AO Smith's engineers found through investigation that most newly renovated families are There is a serious problem of formaldehyde pollution, and the pollution is heavy and persistently released for 3-15 years. In the initial period, the pollution concentration can reach 0.2mg/m3 or more, which exceeds the national standard several times. At the same time, the formaldehyde pollution is more serious in summer under high temperature environment. It is more likely to cause harm to people's health. At this AWE exhibition, AO Smith introduced formaldehyde purifiers and formaldehyde fresh air purifiers, which can accurately display indoor formaldehyde concentrations. Effective removal of formaldehyde makes the purifying effect more visible and effective. In addition to formaldehyde technology solutions lead the purifier industry upgrade.
In addition, the ordinary purifier can only reduce the formaldehyde concentration to about 0.1mg/m3, while the AO Smith formaldehyde purifier selects high-quality activated carbon, optimizes the filter structure and develops a new formula, the adsorption efficiency is doubled, targeted positioning and adsorption high-speed release The formaldehyde is continuously purified to a concentration of 0.02mg/m3 to meet more stringent international standards.
Innovation is the root of AO Smith's development. In 20 years of China's entry, Ding Wei led AO Smith to break through numerous industry problems, bringing hot water, heating, clean water, air purification, beauty soft water and other categories and integrated system solutions. This spring, AO Smith's new Super Environment Appliance Production and Research Base will be formally launched. The total planned site area will exceed 200,000 square meters, and the planned production capacity will be 2.5 million units. It will also become China's first super environmental electrical production and research base for consumption in China. Create more innovative products.
