From humble beginnings to a world leader in kitchen appliances
ROBAM founder, Ren Jianhua, started his entrepreneurial journey with just three pairs of pliers, establishing ROBAM’s predecessor, the Yuhang County Bolu Hongxing Hardware Factory, in 1979. Since then, ROBAM has become pioneers of technological innovations within the kitchen appliance industry and have taken action to demonstrate “a company respected by society”.
The predecessor to ROBAM was established by Ren Jianhua. The company specialises in the production of household appliances and spare parts.
The company creates China’s first generation of rangehoods, PY-1 and PY-2, in collaboration with the 804 Research Institute of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
In recognition of ROBAM’s excellent product quality and well-known corporate reputation both at home and abroad, Jianhua wins the National Quality Award, the highest domestic product quality award.
The cutting-edge technology took three years to develop and solved the problem of serious oil accumulation in the rangehood and the need for frequent cleaning. It featured a non-stick internal coating.
The turn of the 21st century saw ROBAM expand from its rangehood beginnings to design and manufacture cookware, sterilisers, ovens, microwaves and electric pressure pots.
Certified by the National Standardization Administration Committee, ROBAM obtained the highest level of standardisation certification in the country – AAAA level.
ROBAM becomes the only brand in the kitchen appliance industry to be ranked among the “Top 500 Asian Brands” for 11 consecutive years.
