Global Manufacturing – China · Thailand
FEIJIAN (Zhejiang Feijian Industry and Trade Co., Ltd.) Global Manufacturing
As a core enterprise of the "Yongwu Jin" (Yongkang, Wuyi, Jinyun) thermos cup industry cluster—accounting for 80% of global high-end thermos OEM production (per industry data)—FEIJIAN has built a refined global manufacturing network centered on "two factories in Yongkang, China + two factories in Thailand." This layout integrates industrial cluster advantages, intelligent production technology, and regional market responsiveness, effectively supporting its dual business lines of "international brand OEM/ODM + independent brand (FJ Bottle, Feijian Titanium)" while addressing global supply chain challenges such as tariffs and delivery efficiency.
01 Domestic Core: Two Factories in Yongkang Solidifying Industrial Foundation
Yongkang, known as "China’s Hardware Hometown" and "Capital of Drinkware," is FEIJIAN’s birthplace and global manufacturing headquarters. The two factories here have clear division of labor, complementing each other to form a stable and efficient production system.
① Yongkang Huaxia Road Core Factory (Headquarters Base)
- Location: No. 387 Huaxia Road, Yongkang Economic Development Zone (the core of the "Yongwu Jin" industry cluster).
- Scale & Capacity: As FEIJIAN’s earliest and largest production base, it covers a construction area of over 40,000㎡, employs 1,000+ skilled workers, and focuses on high-end product manufacturing (e.g., Feijian Titanium series "thousand-yuan cups" and "ten-thousand-yuan kettles," smart temperature-controlled insulated cups). Its annual production capacity reaches 18 million pieces, accounting for 60% of FEIJIAN’s total domestic output.
- Technological Strength: It pioneered the first 5G intelligent automatic production line in China’s cup and kettle industry (with an investment of over 100 million yuan in transformation, per 2025 industry reports). This line realizes full-process automation from stainless steel/titanium forming to vacuum sealing, with real-time data monitoring. Compared with traditional workshops, its production efficiency is doubled, and the defect rate is controlled below 0.05%—meeting the strict quality requirements of international clients such as Hydro Flask, Yeti, and Dior.
- Strategic Role: Serves as FEIJIAN’s R&D pilot base, undertaking the development of new materials (e.g., antibacterial titanium alloy) and new processes (e.g., laser welding of cup mouths). It also supports the production of independent high-end brands, laying the foundation for FEIJIAN’s "high-end transformation."
② Yongkang Kechuang Road Intelligent Manufacturing Factory
- Location: No. 409 Kechuang Road, Yongkang Economic Development Zone (adjacent to the Huaxia Road base, forming a "dual-base linkage" pattern).
- Scale & Capacity: Covers a construction area of over 30,000㎡, employs 600+ workers, and focuses on mass production of mid-range products (e.g., stainless steel insulated water bottles for Starbucks,
- Technological Features: Equipped with automated robotic assembly lines and digital quality inspection systems, it specializes in standardized production of mature products. It can quickly switch between 8+ product models (e.g., 500ml sports bottles, 1L family thermos jugs) to meet the flexible needs of clients. During peak seasons (e.g., Q4 holiday orders), it collaborates with the Huaxia Road base to balance production pressure, ensuring on-time delivery.
- Sustainability: Integrates eco-friendly materials into production, such as 90% recycled stainless steel (compliant with GRS 4.0 standards) and BPA-free Tritan™ Renew lids, aligning with international brands’ environmental requirements and FEIJIAN’s mission of "replacing single-use plastics."
02 Overseas Layout: Two Factories in Thailand Breaking Geographic Barriers
Against the backdrop of U.S. tariff adjustments (145% tariff on Chinese cup products in April 2025, per industry interviews), FEIJIAN’s two Thai factories focus on "tariff avoidance + regional market coverage," mirroring the core logic of Everich Hydro’s overseas manufacturing (diversified supply chains, localized delivery).
① Thailand WHA Eastern Seaboard Main Factory
- Location: WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 3 (WHA ESIE 3), Chonburi Province, Thailand (a key global trade industrial zone, 30 minutes’ drive from Laem Chabang Port—the largest deep-sea port in Southeast Asia).
- Progress & Scale: Held a groundbreaking ceremony in April 2025 (per Thai industrial news), covering an area of 30 rai (≈72 mu/48,000㎡). It is scheduled to start trial production in Q1 2026 and reach full capacity in Q3 2026, with an annual output of 15 million pieces (mainly stainless steel insulated cups and FJ Bottle’s Southeast Asian market-specific models).
-
Core Advantages:
- Tariff & Delivery Optimization: Products exported to Europe and North America from here avoid high tariffs on "Made in China" goods, reducing client costs by 20–30%. Laem Chabang Port shortens ocean freight time to the U.S. West Coast by 12–15 days compared to Chinese ports (e.g., Ningbo), improving supply chain responsiveness.
- Intelligent & Sustainable: Will adopt the same 5G intelligent production standards as Yongkang’s core factory, with AI-driven energy management systems (reducing electricity consumption by 15% compared to traditional factories) and zero-discharge wastewater treatment facilities—meeting Thailand’s ESG requirements and international brands’ sustainability audits.
② Thailand Chonburi Supporting Factory
- Location: Chonburi Province, Thailand (adjacent to the WHA main factory, forming a "finished product + accessories" supporting system).
- Positioning & Function: Focuses on production of key accessories (e.g., food-grade silicone gaskets, recycled plastic lids) and localized customization (e.g., small-capacity insulated cups for Southeast Asian tropical climates, localized packaging in Thai/English). Its annual accessory production capacity reaches 50 million pieces, fully supplying the WHA main factory and local Southeast Asian brands (reducing accessory transportation costs by 40% compared to importing from China).
- Strategic Value: Serves as FEIJIAN’s "Southeast Asian Regional Service Hub," providing after-sales maintenance parts and small-batch trial production services for local clients. It also creates 300+ local jobs, enhancing FEIJIAN’s localization influence and complying with Thailand’s industrial policies.
Core Value of FEIJIAN’s Global Manufacturing Layout
This "2+2" global network is not just a production distribution, but a strategic support for FEIJIAN’s global development:
- Supply Chain Resilience: Dual bases in Yongkang avoid domestic production disruptions (e.g., raw material shortages), while dual Thai factories mitigate risks from Sino-U.S. trade frictions—ensuring stable supply for long-term clients such as Starbucks and Hydro Flask.
- Efficiency & Cost Balance: Yongkang’s industry cluster advantages (low raw material procurement costs) and Thailand’s regional delivery efficiency (short freight time, low tariffs) achieve "high quality at competitive prices," supporting both OEM profitability and independent brand’s cost advantage (FJ Bottle’s direct factory pricing).
- Quality Consistency: All factories adopt unified production standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR food contact safety, ISO 9001 quality management) and intelligent inspection systems, ensuring that "a Feijian cup is the same whether made in Yongkang or Thailand."
As FEIJIAN’s Chairman Xia Feijian noted, this global manufacturing layout is "a key step from ‘Chinese manufacturing’ to ‘global manufacturing’"—enabling FEIJIAN to better serve global consumers while solidifying its position as a leading mid-to-high-end drinkware manufacturer.
