Established in 2010, Zhejiang Yilida Technology Co Ltd is a company that specializes in the R&D, production and sales of ventilators, condensate trays, battery chargers and other products.

Headquartered in Taizhou, East China's Zhejiang, Yilida is the largest HVAC fan supplier in China.

In the first half of this year, the company generated a revenue of 137 million yuan ($21.08 million), a year-on-year increase of 30.7 percent.

The company's digitalization efforts, such as introducing advanced equipment from countries like Germany, have given it an edge over its rivals in the domestic market.

Fans manufactured by Yilida have large air volume, low noise and stable quality, according to Zhang Xuewen, general manager of the company.

Earlier last year, the company was tasked with supplying 190 ventilators for Leishenshan, a temporary hospital set up in Wuhan, Hubei province to cope with the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. 

Zhang said that the company might still need five to six years to complete its digital upgrading.

The company plans to embrace automation to the extent that only 40 to 50 people would be required to operate its entire production system, which is expected to generate between 1.2 and 1.3 billion yuan in annual output value.
