Xiamen Renhe Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. has officially broken ground on its landmark smart manufacturing facility in Xiamen’s Tong’an Industrial Zone, backed by a total investment of RMB 200 million (approximately USD 27.4 million). The project spans 33 mu (approximately 2.2 hectares) of land with a planned building area of 77,800 square meters and is expected to commence operations in 2028. This strategic expansion will significantly enhance the company’s intelligent fitness equipment production capacity while extending the sports equipment value chain in the Tong’an district.
Fast-Track Approval: A Model of Government Efficiency
The project achieved a remarkable administrative milestone under Tong’an District’s “Land Acquisition Equals Groundbreaking” reform initiative. All three critical permits — planning, foundation pit construction, and main structure construction — were secured within just five working days, enabling construction to begin nine months ahead of the contractually scheduled date. A dedicated one-on-one task force provided end-to-end guidance throughout the approval and construction phases, reflecting the streamlined coordination among planning, housing, and construction authorities. This unprecedented speed underscores Xiamen’s commitment to fostering advanced manufacturing through agile, enterprise-friendly government services.
Green Manufacturing and Advanced Technology
The new facility will adopt green production principles with comprehensive energy conservation and emission reduction measures embedded across the entire manufacturing process. Core production lines will feature intelligent manufacturing assembly systems and precision CNC machining equipment. Primary raw materials — including servo motor control systems, electronic control units, aluminum castings, and high-performance rollers — will support the production of walking machines, treadmills, rowing machines, and other smart fitness equipment. The plant’s design emphasizes digital integration, connecting hardware production with the company’s proprietary software and electronic controller capabilities to deliver end-to-end intelligent manufacturing.
Strengthening Xiamen’s Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem
Once operational, the facility is expected to extend and complete the sports equipment industrial chain in Tong’an District, enrich the region’s industrial portfolio, and amplify cluster effects across the broader manufacturing sector. The project aligns with Xiamen’s strategic vision to position itself as a premier hub for advanced manufacturing and intelligent hardware innovation in southeastern China, injecting fresh momentum into the city’s high-quality industrial development agenda.
A Milestone in Corporate Evolution
The groundbreaking represents a transformative leap for Renhe Sports, which has rapidly evolved since its founding in 2017. From its origins as a core component supplier to launching its first aluminum fully-foldable treadmill in 2019, the company has consistently invested in vertical integration and technological independence. The new facility consolidates this trajectory, establishing a dedicated production base purpose-built for the next generation of intelligent fitness equipment.
“The groundbreaking of our smart manufacturing facility marks a defining chapter in Renhe Sports’ journey from component supplier to integrated intelligent fitness equipment manufacturer,” said Zhang Bingwei, Founder and Legal Representative of Xiamen Renhe Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. “With this investment, we are building the infrastructure to serve our growing global customer base across more than 30 countries while advancing the industry’s shift toward intelligent, sustainable production.”
