A technical team from Xiaomi Air Conditioner Supply Chain visited Taizhou Tengkai Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tengkai Machinery") to conduct a supplier factory audit. The audit focused on the production processes and quality control systems of core copper connectors for air conditioners, including copper nuts, pipe fittings, distributors, check valves, tee pipes and other key components, marking that Tengkai Machinery has officially entered the core supply chain of Xiaomi's major home appliances.
As a leader in China's smart home appliance industry, Xiaomi has put forward higher requirements for reliability, precision and intelligent collaboration for upstream core component suppliers since launching its "Human-Car-Home Full Ecosystem" strategy in 2025. Especially in the air conditioning sector, Xiaomi's first self-produced central air conditioner, "Mijia Central Air Conditioner Pro Dual Wind Wheel", rolled off the production line at its Wuhan Smart Home Appliance Factory in late 2025, achieving an intelligent manufacturing efficiency of "one unit produced every 6.5 seconds". Behind this lies Xiaomi's extreme pursuit of "zero leakage, high pressure resistance and long service life" for every small connecting component.
During the factory inspection, the Xiaomi team conducted an in-depth inspection of Tengkai Machinery's production workshops, testing laboratories and finished product warehouses. When selecting suppliers, Xiaomi values not only production capacity but also technical accumulation and quality control genes. Tengkai Machinery has many years of deep experience in the field of air conditioning copper connectors with stable processes and agile response. Guided by Xiaomi's philosophy of "striving for higher industry standards", we will continue to invest in automated testing equipment and digital management systems to fully support Xiaomi in building a world-leading smart home appliance ecosystem.
