Growing up in Shaoxing, Uncle Kang (Xu Liekang) was always building. As a kid, he turned scrap into tools—redesigned fishing gear to catch more, tweaked bike gears for muddy roads. That hands-on drive shaped his future.
He studied industrial automation, convinced tech would transform manufacturing. But working at a traditional refrigeration firm showed him the problems: slow deliveries from rigid systems, outdated tech wasting energy, and customers ignored.
So in 2004, he started Kanglong Refrigeration. His plan fused tech innovation with customer collaboration:
Challenges hit hard. Supplier disputes (2016-2021) forced strategic shifts: tightened vendor controls, expanded into full cooling systems for bakeries. By 2024, new heat-exchanger tech cut energy use 30%, winning contracts across Central Asia. Valued skilled workers—sheet metal experts could earn 9,000 yuan/month.
Today, Kanglong runs lean: 50 staff, 40% technicians.Products now include ice-storage systems for pre-made meals and solar chillers cutting food waste in Bangladesh. Uncle Kang’s rule stays true: ”Solve real problems, constantly.” From Shaoxing workshops to global freeze lines, twenty years of grit turned passion into precision.
