R&D

  • How is your R&D capability?

    1.The company continuously increases R&D investment, leading the industry's development with exploration, demonstration, and sharing. With a total investment of 120 million yuan, the company established the internationally  and domestically first-class Yonggao Research Institute, integrating testing, and R&D. It has innovative platforms such as national post-doctoral research workstations, national enterprise technology centers, provincial key enterprise research institutes, and national laboratories (CNAS certified), and a strong R&D team composed of doctoral, master, and intermediate and senior technical personnel. A R&D system with cooperation integration in multiple locations including Taizhou headquarters, Shanghai, Anhui, Guangdong, and Tianjin has been formed, establishing a multi-mode innovation model of independent development, cooperative development, and introduction, digestion, and absorption. Currently, the company has more than 400 national authorized patents and scientific and technological achievements that have filled many domestic gaps and reached international advanced levels. The company has drafted nearly 30 national or industry standards and is the enterprise with the most standard drafting in the industry.

    2.The company invests no less than 3% of its sales revenue into R&D every year. In 2017, over 100 million yuan was invested to ensure the company's new product and matrial R&D, and system transformation.

    3.The Technology Center has obtained international IAMMPO and CNAS certification. The company can provide a series of process such as testing for new products, helping our R&D team discover problems and improve our new product design.

    4. In order to achieve differentiation competition, we strive to obtain at least one international certification for each product series. So far, we have obtained 15 internationally renowned certifications, such as NSF and UPC certification in the US, DVGW and TUV certification in Germany, WRAS and KITEMARK certification in the UK, WATERMARK and BET certification in Australia, and GOST certification and EAC certification in Russia, covering a total of 25 different product categories. With these certifications, we can quickly enter the local market and meet the access threshold for local government projects, leaving its middle- to low-end competitors behind. At the same time, customers relying on this reputation occupy a favorable position in the market and obtain bargaining power and quality proof, thereby cooperate with us for long-term development.

    5. The company invests at least 10 million yuan in new product development every year to provide possibilities for entering the local market. In 20 years of international trade development, nearly 200 million yuan has been invested in new product development funds to support the expansion of the international market.

  • Can you develop new molds?

    1. Sure. If the number of new product molds is small, we will optimize the product structure and performance based on customer needs, market demands, and company requirements to develop them.

    2. If it involves the development of an entire series of new products, we will conduct market research. We will collect competitive information, propose mold opening applications to the company, and finally use the R&D department, Mold Department, Production Department, Q&C Department, and Sample Department to present the best and latest products to customers.

    3. Every year, we invest at least 10 million RMB in new product development to provide possibilities for entering the local market. In the 20 years of international trade development, nearly 200 million RMB has been invested in new product development funds to support the international market. Continuous development of new products is the magic weapon for ERA products to enter into every corner of the world.

  • Can you help me to develop new products? How long?

    1. Our company develops new molds every year according to market, and is also willing to cooperate with customers to develop new products. If customers have special requirements, they can provide samples and market research data for us to analyze. We will decide whether to develop.

    2. The development cycle of general products is 4-6 months.

  • How is your new product?

    1. Our company invests 10 million RMB every year to research and develop emerging products to meet the needs of the market and customers. From mold development to testing, sample production and mass production, our one-stop new product development policy can ensure the development of new products. We strive to have a large number of new products every year that can keep up with the trend of the market and meet customer needs.

    2. In the 20 years of international trade development, we have invested nearly 200 million RMB in new product development funds to support the development of the international market. Continuously developing new products is the magic weapon for ERA products to enter into every corner of the world.

  • What are your technical advantages?

    1. Our company is a national high-tech enterprise, with a national postdoctoral research station, a national enterprise technology center, and a national laboratory (CNAS, IAMMPO accredited), having strong R&D capabilities.

    2. We are one of the domestic industry standard-setting units and have voice on product standards.

    3. We have obtained 35 internationally renowned certifications, such as NSF and UPC certification in the US, DVGW certification and TUV certification in Germany, WRAS certification and KITEMARK certification in the US, WATERMARK certification and BET certification in Australia, GOST certification, SR-CU certification, and EAC certification in Russia. Totally, we cover 25 different categories, which has cutting edge in the world. It provides customers with strong technical support.

  • What testing equipments do you have?

    1. The company has invested 120 million yuan to establish the Yonggao Research Institute, which is internationally and domestically first-class, integrating testing, experimentation, and R&D. It has a national post-doctoral scientific research workstation, a national enterprise technology center, a key provincial enterprise research institute, and a national laboratory (accredited by CNAS and IAMMPO).

    2. The technology center covers an area of 6,000 square meters and has more than 300 sets of testing equipment to meet various standards. There are nearly 250 technical personnel.

    3. We have imported inspection equipment from abroad. Taking the most important hydraulic static testing as an example, we have two pressure sources in total. One is a hydraulic static testing machine imported from IPT in Germany, which has stable boosting and small pressure fluctuation, and is suitable for testing low-pressure and small-diameter pipes, with a maximum pressure of up to 12 MPa. The other one is a SCITEQ hydraulic static testing machine from Denmark, which has high water output and fast pressurization, suitable for testing large-diameter pipes, with a maximum pressure of up to 16 MPa. The two devices have 50 working stations, which can be controlled by computer and can simultaneously test up to 150 sets of experiments.

  • What are your technical advantages?

    1. Our company adopts new materials, new processes, new technologies, and new equipment to achieve "machine replacement" and build a smart factory through automation transformation and the IOT. Currently, we have automatic equipment such as mechanical arms and robots.

    2. Market promotion of self-developed formulas.

    2.1 For PVC products, our company uses own environmentally friendly lead-free formula. This formula was independently developed by our laboratory. We have an innovative team led by a doctor. We also hired polymer material experts and professors from the National Key Laboratory of Polymer Reaction Engineering at Zhejiang University as consultants. Our water supply formula complies with international standards such as ISO 1452, AN/NZS 1477, and ASTM D1784. The water pipe fittings formula is certified by NSF in the US, which is also our self-developed formula. The drainage formula also complies with international standards such as ISO 3633, AN/NZS 1260, and EN 1329. Therefore, our products can enter countries such as Europe, the United States, and Australia, which have strict requirements for pipe fittings formulas, to ensure safe drinking water.

    2.2 For CPVC products, in addition to using the Japanese SEKISUI formula, we also use our own formula to reduce costs and increase efficiency to meet the market demand.
