Recently, Yuanding Intelligent completed a strategic financing round of nearly 1 billion RMB. This round was strategically invested in by Fluidra, a swimming pool giant, with Yunqi Capital joining as a new investor and existing shareholders increasing their holdings.
This financing marks a strategic turning point for Yuanding Intelligent, enabling it to penetrate global professional swimming pool channels. Fluidra has been deeply involved in the industry for over 50 years, operating in 47 countries, with its brands being household names in Europe and America. Its global distribution network and other resources will help Yuanding Intelligent transform from "online leader" to "omnichannel breakthrough".

Currently, the swimming pool robot market is highly competitive, with intense online competition and high barriers to entry in mainstream European and American key account (KA) channels and professional swimming pool channels. Yuanding Intelligent has previously achieved the number one position in online sales and has entered over 7,000 mainstream European and American KA stores.
Relying on its independent core technology, Yuanding Intelligent has become the world's second-largest and online leading brand in just four years. This cooperation with Fluidra will combine "technology + channels + efficiency" to reshape the competitive landscape and accelerate the industry's move towards scale, branding, and globalization.
Wang Yang, founder of Yuanding Intelligent, stated that the company will increase its investment in technology and branding, cultivate the European and American markets, expand into emerging markets, and build a global smart garden ecosystem.
