I believe there is a true story in the faucet industry that most people have heard of:

A customer brought two faucet adapters to a faucet factory and requested processing. One of the two faucets is from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and the other is from Kaiping. The factory director can tell at a glance which one is from Wenzhou and which one is from Kaiping. The customer thinks it&s strange, why can the factory manager see it? Because things look the same from the surface.

Later, as soon as the factory director explained, he understood. The factory director originally saw it from the perspective of processing technology, but due to the differences in the details of joint processing between Wenzhou enterprises and Kaiping processing, it is called stealing materials in jargon. The same faucet adapter, processed by a Wenzhou enterprise, has an L-bend in the interface hole, which is a right angle. And Kaiping Enterprise&s processing is focused on small garden corners. From a mechanical perspective, the opening of the L-bend is easier to crack, while the small corner, although made of copper, has more guaranteed quality. Of course, after buying it back, it may be equally useful to use, and perhaps not everyone will notice this small detail.

Of course, this story is not to denigrate the poor quality of Zhejiang&s products. Zhejiang&s products also have many excellent aspects, but we have chosen a different path. Existence is reasonable, and their products prioritize cost-effectiveness, in order to meet the needs of middle and low-income groups.

Looking at the three major faucet producing areas in China, in terms of quality ranking, Shuikou Town in Kaiping, Guangdong and Xishan Town in Heshan are definitely strong; Next is Nan&an, Fujian (the four major domestic faucet brands are all located in Fujian: Jiumu, Zhongyu, Guanghui, and Shenluda); Afterwards is Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Although Kaiping also has some well-known brands, why is the fourth leading brand in Fujian?

The primary reason is that 95% of Kaiping&s products used to be made from overseas orders, with little exposure to domestic shopping malls. Due to the small volume of domestic orders, production is difficult. As for the assistance in the industry, it is said that the opening of the faucet is good, but in fact, a key point is that the details and electroplating process of the opening of the faucet are good. The planning concept is aligned with European shopping malls, and the production process is also done according to European standards, so the cost and quality are high.
