The time goes back to 2005. At that time, domestic micro pump manufacturing was in its infancy, the technology was not yet mature, and there were only a few domestic enterprises producing micro pumps. TOPSFLO Pump Industry, which was determined to produce mid-to-high-end micro pumps, relied on advanced Machines have opened up markets overseas.

A well-known home appliance company in the United States (Global Top 500) developed a brand-new carbonated beverage machine project and sent TOPSFLO an order for 500 pcs of 12V micro DC brushless pumps.

The first batch of water pumps was sent out, and the feedback came back quickly. 20% of the 500 micro-pumps had water leakage problems. This was a serious blow to TOPSFLO Pumps, which had just started its business. The purpose of water pumps is to provide power for fluids, but the water pumps themselves had water leakage problems, which made Richard Wang, the general manager, feel deeply ashamed.

Related companies that cooperate with TOPSFLO for parts and components learned about the situation and were worried about claiming compensation, so TOPSFLO refused to admit that there was a problem with their products. Some people even said to TOPSFLO that it is no big deal if there is a problem with the product quality. Who made our price so cheap? Moreover, at that time, many domestic enterprises were not paying much attention to quality, and it was difficult to guarantee the final reliability of the pump products.

Richard Wang ordered the whole company to stop the current work and self-examine all internal products. After rigorous simulation and deduction verification, the cause of the water pump leakage was finally found out:

1. The structural design of the water pump is not completely reasonable, and the size of the sealing ring is relatively too small under high pressure;

2. The carbon dioxide in the carbonated beverage machine first passes through and generates gas instantly, resulting in an instantaneous pressure of up to 10 bar. The plastic material of the water pump is not enough to consider the pressure, and the injection molding process needs to be further strictly controlled.

3. The manager of TOPSFLO Overseas Business Department took the initiative to contact the American customer to communicate the solution. The positive and sincere improvement attitude impressed the American customer. The engineer of the American customer took the initiative to customize a batch of sealing rings locally, and installed them on TOPSFLO pumps for continued use. TOPSFLO, on the other hand, took the initiative to assume the responsibility, and compensated customers with 30% of the total value of the goods as maintenance and lost work expenses.

Zhu Guangqian once said: “People who are weak-willed and unable to withstand setbacks often have a set of self-explanatory words, which is to blame all their mistakes on the environment.”

And Richard Wang, who is determined to change the status quo of the domestic micro pump manufacturing industry, said firmly at the company’s management cadre meeting that he wants to make a water pump that never leaks.

“Remorse for one’s mistakes, and try not to repeat them, this is true remorse.” Richard Wang, the American tough guy writer Ernest Hemingway, has always remembered these words in his heart and kept motivating himself.

Although the problem of American customers has been solved, it touched Richard Wang deeply. How to improve the design of the pump, optimize the internal process of the enterprise, and prevent this kind of mistake from being repeated is the driving force for TOPSFLO to move forward.

Based on the problems encountered by American customers, the company has comprehensively reformed and improved production and testing standards. All plastic raw materials are imported from Japan, and no recycled materials are used (this has always been the only one in the industry). All plastic parts must pass the actual water sampling test with a burst pressure of 28bar, high and low temperature sampling tests, and all finished products must pass a 100% water comprehensive test, 100% air tightness test that is more than twice the industry standard, 100% aging test, etc., only qualified products that have completely passed can be provided to customers.

Some people in the company objected that all raw materials are imported from Japan and do not use any recycled materials. This alone will increase a lot of costs, and it will require a lot of manpower to do various tests, and it will not directly bring economic benefits. At present, no micro-pump company has done so.

On the other hand, Richard Wang tried his best to push forward the reform of raw materials and the model of full inspection of products. In terms of working principles, Richard Wang is strong, but in private, he gently enlightened his employees more than once: creating value for customers is the meaning of brand existence.

As Einstein said: “Don’t try to be a success, try to be a man of value.”

In the field of micro-pumps, TOPSFLO does not want to rely on rapid sales of large quantities of ordinary-quality water pumps to bring short-term benefits, but considers all aspects and insists on achieving the ultimate quality first, and is committed to creating real long-term value for customers with high-quality micro-pumps , maintain the brand dignity of customers, and make people live a better life.
