Company Overview

Midea Group is a Foshan-based technology and manufacturing group founded in 1968. Its current business structure extends beyond home appliances into industrial technology, building technologies, robotics and automation, energy, healthcare and smart logistics. For manufacturing coverage, the most important parts of the group are its large appliance production base, electromechanical and industrial-component businesses, building HVAC systems and robotics and automation operations.

Why it matters to China manufacturing

Midea is a useful case study in the evolution of Chinese manufacturing from high-volume household appliances toward higher-value components, automation and integrated industrial technology. It is also strongly tied to Shunde and Foshan, one of China’s best-known appliance-manufacturing clusters, where plastics, sheet metal, motors, compressors, electronics, molds and final assembly form a dense regional supply chain.

Main Products & Manufacturing Scope

• Residential air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, kitchen appliances and small household appliances.
• Compressors, electric motors, drives and other electromechanical components.
• Building HVAC and building-technology systems.
• Industrial automation and robot-based manufacturing solutions.
• Selected energy-management, smart-logistics and healthcare technology products.
• Smart-home hardware and connected appliance systems.

Position in the Supply Chain

Midea combines the role of a consumer-product OEM with component production and industrial automation. Its appliance manufacturing depends on high-volume injection molding, metal stamping and sheet-metal fabrication, copper and aluminum processing, compressors and motors, PCB assembly, sensors and controls, surface finishing and automated final assembly. Its industrial businesses, in turn, supply technologies back into factories and equipment makers.
