As one of the enterprises in Zibo High-Tech Zone’s Instrumentation Industrial Park, Shandong Friend Control Systems Co., Ltd. has established itself as the “Eye of Wisdom” driving industrial intelligent transformation through its deep expertise in industrial automation instruments and sensors.
At the “Finding Orders for Enterprises” instrumentation-themed event on March 25, vigorously promoted by the Zibo Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, FRD captured widespread attention from government agencies, enterprises, and financial institutions with its innovative products, precision production lines, and industry-leading technological capabilities. This demonstrated its formidable strength as a fully self-developed R&D enterprise in the instrumentation industry.
On the platform of “Mutual Upstream and Downstream Integration, Building an Industrial Chain” established by the Zibo Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, FRD not only showcased its self-developed instrumentation products but also engaged in in-depth dialogues with upstream and downstream partners. As the host enterprise of the Instrumentation Industrial Park, FRD became the focal point of the event.
Its end-to-end capabilities—from technological R&D to real-world application—injected strong momentum into building a localized, high-efficiency industrial cluster. Moving forward, the company will continue to innovate, collaborate, and work with partners to propel Zibo’s transition from a “manufacturing hub” to a “smart manufacturing powerhouse.”
During the event, attendees visited the exhibition halls and production lines of Shandong Invensys Control Technology Co., Ltd. and Zibo Gaimi Control Systems Co., Ltd., and listened to product presentations. Four companies successfully signed cooperation agreements, while financial institutions such as Qilu Bank and Qishang Bank, along with Shandong Port Group, introduced relevant pro-enterprise policies.
This event bridged communication between upstream and downstream enterprises and created market expansion opportunities. “We will fully leverage this platform to strengthen internal capabilities, enhance communication, and strive to secure more collaborative partnerships across the value chain,” stated Liu Bing, Director of the High-Tech Zone Bureau of Industry and Commerce, in his concluding speech. He emphasized further efforts to streamline supply-demand channels in the industrial chain, providing robust platform support to address industry pain points such as information asymmetry and low collaboration efficiency.
Mr. Si Shuyi, Marketing Vice President of FRD, explained the company’s products to attendees. He highlighted that transmitters are indispensable core products for data acquisition across industries, with sensors serving as their most critical component. While China vigorously develops its sensor industry, FRD has already achieved globally leading high-precision silicon chip technology, boasting platinum-grade accuracy of up to ±0.045%. The company also leads in dual overload protection diaphragm technology and fully welded 316L stainless steel silicone-filled sealing structure technology.
Li Ming, Chairman of the Zibo Instrumentation Association, noted that as an industrial powerhouse, Zbo holds vast market potential in industrial automation instrumentation. However, challenges persist in upstream-downstream collaboration: information asymmetry hinders efficient matching of supply-demand dynamics and technological innovations, while fragmented cooperation limits the formation of high-efficiency industrial clusters, thereby constraining overall industry competitiveness. “This event is a timely solution,” he remarked, “bridging communication and unlocking market opportunities.”
On behalf of the association, Chairman Li issued a call to action for Zibo’s instrumentation enterprises:
- Strengthen Confidence, Act Proactively: Maximize the “Finding Orders for Enterprises” platform to deepen upstream-downstream collaboration and expand market reach.
- Enhance Core Competitiveness: Increase R&D investment, accelerate innovation, improve product quality and performance, optimize operations, and reduce costs.
- Collaborate for Mutual Success: Foster resource sharing, complementary strengths, and collective growth to tackle market challenges.
FRD firmly believes in “People-Oriented, Technology-Driven Innovation.” The company invites industry partners and clients to visit its facilities for exchanges and collaborative growth. “Let us use technology as the bond and cooperation as the bridge to jointly polish the golden reputation of ‘Zibo Intelligent Manufacturing’,” the company concluded.
