From 2017 to 2019, the company completed the overall relocation and upgrading of its production base.
To support its long-term development, the company has completed the overall relocation and upgrading of its production base, built a modern and efficient operation platform, and solidified the physical foundation for large-scale development.
Meanwhile, the company has made great efforts to build and cultivate a professional core R&D team. Relying on this team and its insights into the needs of industrial automation, Duoterui has achieved a major breakthrough in its product line: it has successfully independently developed core new products such as thermal mass flowmeters, swirl flowmeters, gas turbine flowmeters, and gas roots flowmeters, and has systematically built a "comprehensive product line".
This marks the company's rapid transformation from having advantages in single products to becoming a solution provider covering multiple principles and scenarios. The improved product matrix has significantly enhanced its ability to meet the complex needs of fields such as petrochemicals, energy and electricity, city gas, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control. These three years have been a crucial period for Duoterui to consolidate its foundation, expand its business scope, and lay the groundwork for its subsequent development.
When it was founded in 2016, this enterprise focusing on flow meters was still a newcomer in the industry. Its founder, Du Gang, led a team with an average age of 36 to refine their technologies in a shabby factory building. By combining enthusiasm and experience, the team laid the groundwork for the company’s subsequent takeoff.
2018 was a year of breakthroughs. Driven by business expansion, the company put a new 5,000-square-meter factory building into use, introduced intelligent production lines and advanced R&D laboratories, which completely resolved the production capacity bottleneck and sent a strong signal of development.
The company has successfully independently developed an innovative calibration device. Addressing the industry pain point of relying on inefficient single-unit calibration, the team overcame the challenge of multi-caliber compatibility, designed a unique structure, and achieved simultaneous calibration of multiple meters, boosting efficiency by 300%. This not only increased the product qualification rate to 99.6% but also broke the technological monopoly of foreign capital.
The completion of the new factory building and the breakthrough in core calibration technology together played the overture to Duoterui’s growth. From an unknown startup to an industry dark horse with core technologies in hand, the breakthrough in 2018 paved the way for its transition from surviving to leading the industry, which strongly confirms the hard truth of "technology is king" in the instrumentation industry.
