1. Industry Heartland: The Faucet Landscape of Nan’an, Fujian
Nan’an, Fujian Province, is the core manufacturing base for China’s plumbing and sanitary industry, often hailed as the “Hometown of Chinese Plumbing” . Over nearly four decades, it has developed a full industrial chain cluster integrating R&D, manufacturing, supporting industries, and services. It ranks among China’s three major plumbing and sanitary clusters.
Currently, Nan’an hosts over 700 plumbing and sanitary enterprises with approximately 100,000 industry workers. Faucet products cover more than 3,000 categories and over 20,000 specifications, generating an annual industrial output exceeding 70 billion RMB. Industry insiders estimate that “1 out of every 3 faucets in China is made in Nan’an,” with a market share exceeding 70%.
Centered in Luncang Town and radiating to neighboring towns like Shengxin, Meilin, and Yingdu, Nan’an boasts the world’s densest and most complete faucet industry cluster. Anchored by JOMOO, the city has implemented a “1+13” industrial park layout, creating a 26.8-kilometer faucet and sanitary valve industrial corridor with an 83% cluster concentration, while local supporting rates for leading enterprises have risen from 35% to 85%.
2. Core Anchor: YOROOW and JOMOO Co-located in Shengxin Industrial Belt
YOROOW and JOMOO’s production bases are both situated in the core industrial park of Shengxin Town, Nan’an, sharing a mature industrial ecosystem and supporting resources.
Shengxin Town is a key industrial expansion area to the north of Nan’an city and a major hub for plumbing and sanitary manufacturing, with complete park facilities and supply chain infrastructure. The physical proximity of these two enterprises allows materials, precision components, technical talent, and industry information to circulate efficiently within a minimal radius—an exemplary demonstration of the advantages of China’s manufacturing clusters.
3. Cluster Advantage: Highly Efficient Full-Chain Supply
The core value of the Nan’an industrial belt lies in its seamless supply network from parts to finished products, enabling “upstairs is upstream, downstairs is downstream; next door is part of the supply chain”:
Full-chain support: Brass and stainless steel raw materials, valve cores, aerators, hoses, and plating factories are all available, forming a supply system capable of minute-level responses.
Rapid response: Enterprises can complete the full external process from design to prototyping in a short time, quickly meeting market and client demands.
Specialized division of labor: YOROOW and similar manufacturers do not need to build the entire chain in-house. They focus on product design, lean production, and full-process quality control while leveraging cluster cooperation to integrate the best resources efficiently. For instance, when developing a new European-standard silent faucet, they can swiftly collaborate with specialized noise-reduction component suppliers and ISO 3822-4 certified laboratories within the cluster for joint testing and rapid product launch.
4. Cluster Empowerment: Nurturing Brands and Leading Faucet Manufacturers
Industrial clusters reduce logistics and procurement costs while creating an ecosystem of knowledge spillovers and competitive symbiosis. This explains why Nan’an simultaneously produces world-class brands like JOMOO and specialized manufacturing partners like YOROOW.
(a) Dual Effect of Technology Standards and Talent
Benchmark leadership: As the cluster leader, JOMOO has formulated over 200 national standards and 20 international standards. With 16 global R&D centers and 15 high-end “lighthouse” factories, including the world’s first 5G smart toilet green blacklight factory with fully automated 365-day production, it sets benchmarks for smart manufacturing and green production. Its annual output reaches 4 million units, saving over 100 million kWh of electricity and reducing emissions by 18,000 tons, driving the entire cluster to continuously enhance technical and management standards.
Talent sharing: The cluster attracts top plumbing R&D, technical, and management professionals nationwide. Skills and experience circulate rapidly among companies, providing YOROOW with the human resources to build professional international service teams and obtain ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification.
(b) From OEM to ODM: Cluster-Driven Value Upgrading
The mature cluster environment encourages companies to evolve from simple OEM to full-fledged ODM. With complete components and smooth information flows, manufacturers can quickly respond to global design trends and customer requirements, accumulating independent R&D capabilities.
YOROOW’s Fábrica de torneiras na China leverages the cluster to grow from an early-stage manufacturing executor to a professional ODM partner, offering full-process solutions from design and development to mass production for global brands, hardware chains, and construction companies. Its products comply with EN200, EN14804, ISO 3822-4 standards and hold multiple certifications including CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH, and FCM, supported by the cluster’s accessible standard services and testing resources.
5. Coexistence and Synergy: YOROOW’s Cluster Competitiveness
Sharing an industrial park with JOMOO provides YOROOW with profound competitive advantages, forming a market-driven, cooperative evolution relationship:
Supply chain resilience and flexibility: In the face of global market fluctuations or urgent orders, the cluster network enables rapid supply chain reconfiguration, ensuring delivery efficiency and stability.
Continuous technological advancement: Being at the industry forefront allows YOROOW to instantly perceive changes in materials, processes, and automation, continuously optimizing noise control, water-saving performance, and durability through interaction with top suppliers and peers.
Local implementation of global standards: The cluster empowers YOROOW with the ability to implement international standards efficiently at a local level, rapidly meeting stringent global market requirements and fulfilling its mission to “enable global sanitary brands to create greater value.”
The close proximity of YOROOW and JOMOO in Shengxin Town illustrates China’s transition from scale-based manufacturing to intelligent symbiosis and from “world factory” to high-end participation in the global value chain. Industry leaders guiding specialized partners create a mutually reinforcing ecosystem, together forming the core competitiveness that positions China’s faucet industry at the forefront of the world.
