China is a processing and manufacturing powerhouse, and as a basic electronic component commodity, switches have also spawned a huge manufacturing industry on Chinese soil. Since the reform and opening up in 1978, because China has a large number of cheap labor and a more complete industrial system than other backward countries at that time, a large number of foreign processing and manufacturing enterprises have settled in China. The cost, gradually dissatisfied with the purchase of high-priced international brand switches, so the switch manufacturing technology was brought to China, and the first batch of switch manufacturers in China was born.
Because switches are widely used, foreign countries have never dared to bring the latest technology and style production technology to China. This has resulted in many years of Chinese switch manufacturers, but most of them can only rely on outdated production line equipment, low-cost manual switch production and assembly, although the output continues to increase, but the technological level of innovation and development is almost stagnant.
The turning point came after Chairman Deng Xiaoping’s speech in the South in 1992. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the Pearl River Delta region has taken the lead in the development of Chinese cities, and countless capital and talents are rushing to settle in. At this time, there are a group of Chinese entrepreneurs and cutting-edge companies. Technicians are no longer satisfied that the technology is controlled by others, and they only exist as the lowest-end producers. They begin to eager for their own technology. By dismantling, analyzing, and re-engraving foreign brand samples, they hire foreign technicians at high salaries for guidance and high prices. Buying foreign production lines, merging foreign companies and other means, and constantly accumulating their own technical background, China’s basic electronic component technology has developed by leaps and bounds at this stage, and many first-class switch manufacturers in China are basically at this time. The world-famous Huaqiang Electronic Zone was also announced in Shenzhen in 1998.
The Yangtze River Delta region has also perfectly replicated the development model of the Pearl River Delta in a short period of time. So far, China’s two major electronic component industry bases have been formally formed. By 2022, Yueqing City, Zhejiang Province, China, located in the Yangtze River Delta region, has become the largest electronic components industry base in China. The third strongest town under the jurisdiction of Yueqing City is the switch manufacturing industry base of Yueqing City, with more than 2,000 industrial enterprises. Zhejiang Yibao Technology Co., Ltd. was established in Hongqiao Town in 1998, as one of the leading enterprises in Hongqiao Town. Yibao specializes in the research, development and manufacture of electronic and electrical switches. It has a R&D team of 121 people and an annual output of more than 120 million switches.
