Recently, Yuanding Aiper, a leading global wireless intelligent swimming pool robot company, announced the completion of a new round of strategic financing of nearly 1 billion yuan. This round of financing is strategically invested by global swimming pool industry giant Fluidra, with Yunqi Capital joining as a new investor, XVC、 Fosun Ruizheng, Fengqiao Capital and other old shareholders continue to increase their holdings.This financing not only provides strong capital support for Yuanding Intelligence, but more importantly, it marks the official opening of Yuanding Intelligence's global pool professional channels, ushering in a qualitative change and improvement at the strategic level, and profoundly reshaping the landscape of the pool robot industry.       

Dual drive of financing and cooperation, connecting the "last mile" of professional channels for swimming pools

As a global leader in the field of swimming pools and health equipment, Fluidra has over 50 years of deep industry experience. Its business covers 47 countries, with 36 global factories and over 130 sales branches, and more than 6000 employees worldwide. Its brands include AstralPool, Zodiac, Jandy, and Polaris, which are well-known in Europe, America, and other regions and widely used in the global residential and commercial swimming pool market. Through this financing and strategic cooperation, Fluidra's global distribution network, patented technology, industry resources, etc. will provide strong support for Yuanding Intelligence. Yuanding Intelligence will be able to fully enter the previously high threshold pool professional channel, truly achieving the transformation from "online leadership" to "full channel breakthrough".

Industry experts point out that pool robots have become a red ocean race track, and for most new entrants, online channels are relatively easy, but competition is severe and it is difficult to persist in the long run. Connecting mainstream KA channels in Europe and America, such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Bestbuy, Walmart, Leroy Merlin, MediaMarkt, etc., has always been a high barrier; But for pool robots, the most valuable but also the highest barrier is the professional pool channel, with nearly 300000 pool related offline stores worldwide. These channels are relatively closed and exclusive, making them a channel resource that new brands find difficult to reach. Whoever enters the mainstream KA channels and professional pool channels in Europe and America will be the ultimate king.           

Yuanding Intelligent has already become the top seller in online sales and has entered more than 7000 mainstream KA stores in Europe and America worldwide. This collaboration with Fluidra is equivalent to opening a new engine to the global pool professional channel, marking Yuanding Intelligent's entry into deep waters and new heights in global market strategic layout.          

Reshaping the pattern of swimming pool robots, Yuanding Intelligence and Fluidra will define a new ecosystem

Pool robots, as one of the most promising growth tracks in the field of pool cleaning, are undergoing a profound transformation in the industry. With the gradual convergence of technological dividends, the track has entered a new stage of competing for supply chain efficiency, channel breadth, and brand potential.      

Yuanding Intelligent, with its independently developed core technologies such as wireless technology, AI technology, and intelligent water quality management, has become one of the top two brands in global sales and the number one brand in online sales over the past four years. In terms of technological accumulation, patent layout, supply chain integration, operational efficiency, and team globalization, Yuanding Intelligent has also demonstrated strong operational capabilities.

This strategic cooperation with Fluidra not only means a strong alliance between the world's most growing and innovative pool robot brand and the world's most experienced and leading platform, but also will create a new industry landscape in the global pool robot market. This combination of "technology+channel+efficiency" will reshape the competitive ecology of the swimming pool robot track, accelerate the industry's development trend from "fragmentation" to "scale, branding, and globalization", and basically determine the industry pattern.      

Facing the world, Yuanding Intelligence creates the future of intelligent courtyard ecology

Founder and CEO of Yuanding Intelligent, Wang Yang, said, "This is not just a round of financing, but also a strategic resonance. Thank you to all new and old shareholders for their support! With the completion of the new round of financing and the addition of Fluidra, it not only provides us with sufficient funds for future development, but also opens up the pool professional market that was previously difficult for us to reach. We will continue to increase our layout in technology innovation, product matrix, brand promotion, and global supply chain, and expand the global market with a stronger posture. ”

At present, Yuanding Intelligence will be very focused on the swimming pool scene, specializing, refining, and strengthening. It will continue to deeply cultivate mature markets in Europe and America, actively expand into emerging markets in the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, and accelerate the construction of a global intelligent courtyard ecological map
