Sanhua focuses on cooling and heating systems manufacturing

Honeywell International Inc, BMW AG and General Electric Co have one thing in common: Some air conditioning and refrigeration parts used in their products come from the same supplier, China's Sanhua Holding Group.

The three brands represent the three industries that Sanhua's products are being widely used: HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) machines for commercial and residential buildings, air conditioning and thermal systems in automobiles, and home appliances that need cooling and heating functions.

Sanhua in Chinese means "three flowers". Coincidentally Sanhua's products have now blossomed in three areas. When Zhang Daocai founded Sanhua in 1984 in a small town in southeastern China, he hoped that the flowers of "management, technology and talents" could lead his small refrigeration components factory to a bright future.
