Liu Jibo: Helping Beilun's high-end intellectual manufacturing

The drizzle drizzled outside the window, No. 49 Mould Road, Datuo Industrial Park, Ningbo Leo Automation Equipment Co., Ltd., a busy scene in the production workshop, technical backbones are busy assembling equipment, the company's order has been scheduled until July. On the side, General Manager Liu Jibo sometimes carefully checked the equipment debugging situation, and sometimes whispered to communicate with the technicians.

Time back to 10 years ago. It was an afternoon in the winter of 2009, and Sichuan boy Liu Jibo sadly left Taizhou Road and Bridge. Affected by the financial crisis, he left the company for three years. This was Liu Jibo's first job after graduation. At that time, he was focusing on work and never thought of leaving. But the reality is always confusing, and this time he was suddenly forced to leave, giving him a good shot. It is not easy to find a new job or return home.

After several months of confusion, Liu Jibo made a difficult and bold decision to start his own business. In 2010, after careful selection, he was eventually attracted by Beilun, a land full of enthusiasm and industrial atmosphere. At the same time, he saw the development prospects of Beilun's automobile parts manufacturing industry, and decided to set up a company in Beilun. Equipment; the annual cycle of time has passed 9 springs and autumns. Today, Leo, which is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary, has developed into a leader in the domestic industry. The overall solution in the field of shock absorption systems is their absolute "ace product". Not long ago , Leo also successfully listed on the stock exchange.

Start a business from scratch

际 Liu Jibo, born in 1984, majored in mechatronics at university. He came from a technical background and was not good at management. He was even unfamiliar with finance. According to the original assumption, he should have studied for a lifetime in the "ivory tower" of technology, but his fate was so strange that he was pushed to the path of entrepreneurship by chance. on.

Unknown environment, unknown ahead, Leo's start is not easy. There are only a few people in the entire factory. Liu Jibo is both the boss and the employee. How can we open the market? How can we make customers trust? At that time, Liu Jibo didn't have any ideas and didn't think much. There was only one belief to make the equipment well, and with the mentality of exploration, he started with Beilun local enterprises and also domestic cars Topco's road to cooperation in the field of shock absorption systems.

合作 In order to cooperate with Top, Liu Jibo took his employees to study, debug and install again and again, perfect the procedures, and successfully developed Leo's first fully automatic dry filling machine. "The engine suspension shock absorber is a very important component in the NVH of a car. The process technology in the production process will directly affect the shock and noise reduction quality of the entire vehicle." Liu Jibo said that the automatic dry filling machine replaced the traditional The submerged manual filling process adopts the vacuum dry filling method, which can realize fully automatic, high efficiency, visualization, controllable, high-quality comprehensive data, and also completely solve the problem of poor manual working environment.

Facts have proved that Liu Jibo's choice was correct. After comprehensive practical production and application, this equipment has won the affirmation of TOP. After years of development, all filling lines of TOP are currently provided exclusively by Leo. At the same time, it has also become Leo's "star product". , Has developed to the twelfth generation, each generation has many innovations and improvements. In 2013, Leo “Farewell” to the small factory building on Bohai Road and moved to the new factory area of Mould Road. In 2015, product upgrades were carried out and the development rate continued to accelerate. In recent years, the average annual output value of enterprises has increased by more than 30%. In particular, the comprehensive solution capability in the field of shock absorption systems has long been “reputable” and second to none in the domestic industry. .

It is quite surprising that unlike many companies, which pay close attention to sales, Leo has not set up a dedicated sales department until now, and 60% of its employees are technical staff. Liu Jibo said that this may have something to do with his character. He has a strong belief in "the wine is not afraid of the lanes" as a technical company. As a technology-based company, as long as the product is good, customers are not afraid to come.
