Over the recent years, foreign capital has increasingly held equities in or acquired China’s energy equipment enterprises, particularly those specialized in oil filling equipment, resulting in a gradual loss of “Chinese characteristics” in respect of nature, technology and modes. By contrast, Guangdong BeiLin Energy Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, remains true to its “original aspiration” and “founding mission” by sticking to the path of building a “national brand” on the one hand, and bucking the trend to secure market shares globally on the other hand. According to a recent interview with Lin Jianhuai, chairman of BeiLin, who remains unmoved by the popular engagement with foreign capital, BeiLin will continue to spearhead the “national brand” campaign, move forward along its own path in a down-to-earth manner towards the goal of becoming “a China’s leading vehicle-use energy equipment technology and service provider”.

Ranked third by output among all peers

Guangdong BeiLin Energy Equipment Co,Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as “BeiLin”), which grew out of Zhuhai BeiLin Oil Filling Equipment Co., Ltd. founded in June 1999, is a modern high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and service, a designated manufacturer specialized in fuel oil filling machines, subject to strict assessments by China, a member of the Working Committee on Energy Filling Equipment under China Metrology Association and a supervisor of the Guangdong Oil and Gas Society, and among Guangdong provincial new and high-tech private enterprises.

Over more than two decades, BeiLin has scored remarkable achievements and received numerous honors by constantly pursing innovations and tackling technological difficulties. To name a few, BeiLin received the “2015 Star of Quality” award, and the China Red Star Design Award for its Twin Towers-Intelligent Oil Filling Machine, and filed for 26 national intellectual property rights relating to oil filling machines. Since the beginning of 2005, BeiLin has started exporting filling machines and won recognition from the overseas market. BeiLin ranked third by output in 2020 among nationwide manufacturers of oil filling machines, according to the statistics released by the Working Committee on Fuel Filling Equipment, China Metrology Association.

Products sold to a dozen of countries and regions

Products of BeiLin conform to or even outperform national standards of China in respect of technical parameters, attributable to BeiLin’s continuous efforts to increase the technology content in its products and improve overall machine performance. According to Lin Jianhuai, BeiLin pursues safety, energy conservation, environmental protection, efficiency and internetization in its management and administration, and upholds “customer first” throughout in R&D, production, sales and service, in a bid to help clients gain genuine added value and make clients satisfactory.

He added that BeiLin’s oil filling machines, committed to meeting differentiated needs of private-owned fueling stations, have test reports from Petro-CyberWorks Information Technology Co., Ltd. (PCTIC), China Petroleum and Chemical Planning Institute and Bank Card Test Center and are well received by numerous fuel stations in regard to quality and performance.

Quality products and favorable services have enabled BeiLin to occupy soon domestic market shares. Furthermore, its products have been sold to countries and regions in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Middle East and Africa, including the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria and Mali, as well as South America, Europe and Russia, etc. And are spoken highly of by all clients and distributors.

Work out intelligent solutions for fuel stations

BeiLin has high-quality employees specialized in electronic hardware development, machine design, software system development, quality management, marketing, technical service, etc., according to Chen Yihong, general manager of BeiLin. The Company has launched numerous series of filling equipment such as Duocai, Kaibei, Langchao, Xuancai, Pubei, Lanbei, Xuanfeng, Yuanxiang, Zhixiang, Zhiyuan and Zhicheng, leading the trends in appearance design for fuel filling equipment. In addition to filling equipment, BeiLin manufacturers for fuel stations urea and methyl alcohol filling machines, recycled oil and gas detectors, online monitoring and control systems, self-service cash registers and fuel station administration systems.

To provide better services, BeiLin can assist fuel stations in terms of image design, and oil and gas recycling, and offer such intelligent solutions as facial recognition payment and frictionless payment.

Diversify into new energy equipment

“Since its founding, BeiLin has been committing itself to R&D and manufacturing of fuel filling machines, keeping abreast of the times and witnessing innovations in machine appearance, settlement and payment systems for filling machines and master administration systems for fuel stations.” According to Lin Jianhuai, BeiLin will pivot over time from fuel filling equipment to new energy equipment, as conventional energy is squeezed by new energy amid the environmentally friendly shift from control of total energy consumption and energy intensity towards control of total carbon emissions and intensity.

BeiLin has reportedly developed fuel filling robots in two phases since the start of 2017 and has been collaborating with such enterprises and universities as HIT Robot Group, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Zhongshan Institute and South China University of Technology in R&D of intelligent fuel stations (fuel filling robots). Furthermore, BeiLin started developing hydrogen generation and filling equipment in cooperation with Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, resulting in over time a sound “two wheel drive” of conventional energy equipment and new energy equipment.
