Spurred by Midea’s touch


Tam: The group is always exploring IoT-enabled smart home solutions and energy-efficient, ecofriendly appliances.

IT was humble beginnings for Midea Group in 1968 when founder He Xiangjian had just 5,000 yuan and led 23 residents in Beijiao, Shunde, China to start a business making plastic bottle caps.

Since then, the group has grown by leaps and bounds, succeeding in every venture as it expanded to become one of the world’s leading technology and home appliance companies.
