Pioneering Global Success Through Patents

Dec 10, 2019

From a small workshop to an industry trailblazer, ZHEJIANG HELEN GARDEN CO., LTD. (formerly ZHEJIANG HAILUN PLASTIC CO., LTD.) has redefined growth through relentless innovation. With 7 international patents, 30+ global trademarks, and recognition as a national industry standard drafter, this compact yet visionary enterprise—spanning less than 10 acres—stands as a testament to the transformative power of intellectual property.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Recognition  
Five years ago, the company operated in obscurity, generating a modest annual revenue of ¥20 million and relying on low-margin OEM production. Today, it commands the expandable hose market as a leader, boasting five consecutive years of rapid growth and pioneering products that break international monopolies. Chairman Dai Songlin reflects, “Without patents, a business is merely a factory—vulnerable and voiceless. Innovation is our lifeline.”  

Patents: The Catalyst for Breakthroughs  
The turning point came in 2014 with the establishment of a dedicated R&D team. Their mission: to create world-class technologies. One breakthrough product—a garden expandable hose featuring 10+ proprietary innovations—catapulted the company onto the global stage. However, challenges like a failed partnership with Sweden’s largest retailer, CLAS, due to patent concerns, reinforced the urgency of building a robust IP portfolio.  

“Intellectual property is the root of an enterprise,” asserts Dai. “It transforms ‘made-in-China’ into ‘created-by-China.’”  

Empowering Talent, Driving Innovation  
The company fosters a culture where creativity thrives. “Age and seniority don’t define potential,” says R&D lead Gao Jianjun. “We empower every innovator to shine.” This ethos has fueled advancements such as lightweight, high-durability hoses that outperform competitors, securing partnerships across Europe, North America, and Asia.  

A Vision for Sustainable Leadership  
Aligned with Taizhou’s push for industrial upgrading, ZHEJIANG HELEN GARD
EN continues to invest in R&D, aiming to set new benchmarks in quality and efficiency. Its products, now 90% export-oriented, exemplify China’s shift from “manufacturing” to “intelligent creation.”
