On June 13, 2025, the senior product managers and top technical delegation from the Low-temperature Frozen Product Center of Panasonic Sanyo compressor came down especially to Chengdu, for the deep discussion on cooperation with O&K Group , its strategic partner.

The technical delegation carried out round-the-clock technical exchange with O&K General Manager, Supply Chain Director and all technical backbones. This deep discussion between the technical think tanks of both sides in top-level manufacturing industry marks our cooperation to enter a new era of “Technology Integration, Strategic Symbiosis”.

Concentrate on the Technological Accumulation, Define the Industry Benchmark

As the leader in the field of refrigeration compressor in the world, Panasonic Sanyo compressor, with the mission of “Innovating and Disseminating Thermal Technologies to Improve the Human Environment”, undertakes technological innovations based on the people's livelihood needs and social development for making every aspect of compressor’s development and design precise in every detail, and excellent in every application.

Its major advantages manifest in the following three aspects:

Technical lighthouse: It owns over 800 core patents on compressor, with its market share of scroll compressor keeping first for 15 consecutive years.

Smart manufacturing benchmark: The production base is awarded as “World-class Lighthouse Factory”, owning the full automatic production line with the accuracy of up to micron order.

Green revolution: The new-generation environment-friendly refrigerant compressor with 40% higher energy-saving efficiency, conducive to the global carbon neutrality goal.

With the distinguished performance and rich matrix, the products of Panasonic Sanyo is covering most of the applicable scenarios of three main fields -Commercial Refrigeration、Industrial Cooling、Heat Pump System, providing the global users with "Cardiac-level" power support for cold chain logistics, bio-medicine, intelligent manufacturing.

7-year In-depth Collaboration for Win-Win Chapter

Since the establishment of strategic cooperation in 2018, O&K Group and Panasonic Sanyo always adere to the concept of win-win cooperation, and the original intention of providing higher-quality and more reliable products & services to global industrial procurement users, making remarkable achievements in compressor sales and systematic industrial solutions.

Procurement scale jumps year after year: In 2024, the procurement on OKmarts platform exceeded $1 million, making it be one of the top 100 platforms of Panasonic Sanyo in China.

One-stop industrial procurement solution:Through the powerful online and offline resource integration capability, and the full-chain service model from product to industrial solution, we contribute to increasing the brand share of Sanyo compressor by nearly 20% in southwest China.

Technical service upgrade:We build the technology service center together, covering over 3,000 business customers in dozens of countries and regions.

“O&K’s professional integration capability maximizes the value of Panasonic’s cutting-edge technology in Chinese and even the global market”, spoke highly by the delegates in business review.

Technology-Empowered Upgrade Unleashes Innovation Momentum

During the meeting, delegation conducted the specialized training on compressor intelligent O&M and energy-efficiency innovation, giving attendees an immersive learning experience through three major links.

Hardcore course: This training mainly included the practical operation of the inverter compressor’s AI fault predictive system, the energy efficiency optimization scheme of magnetic levitation compressor in data center, and the practical strategy of the ultra-low temperature compressor’s anti-freezing expansion;

Scenario-based teaching: During the training, the technical director from the data center’s southwest region demonstrated the digital twin system of compressor on site, and O&K engineers utilized the maintenance simulator to solve the problems under extreme operating conditions by analyzing the internal airflow movement through 3D modeling;

Discussion with critical thinking:Focusing on “Carbon-zero cold store” technology on site, we brainstormed about Ammonia/Carbon Dioxide cascaded system to finally bring forward the modular compressor matrix solution, which is expected to be reduce the energy consumption of cold store by 28%.

It is well known to all attendees that, under the increasingly fierce competition, the technical service capability is the foundation for an enterprise's survival, and an enterprise can only be approved by more users through making painstaking effort to improve its technical services.

Build a New Future of Industrial Procurement based on Digital Ecosystem

Based on the powerful support of OKmarts’online industrial supply chain platform, O&K has conspicuous advantages in global industrial equipment procurement sector. During the development in the past decade or so, it has reached deep cooperation with major manufactures in many industrial fields in the world, including lots of globally recognized international famous brands, such as Mitsubishi, Danfoss, Rexroth, Siemens, Bosch, Delphi, GE, and so on.

Relying on the powerful supply chain foundation and online intelligent advantages, O&K has three core advantages for servicing the global users:

Global direct procurement network: Link the core manufacturers in 16 countries, including Germany, Japan and the United States, for topspeed customs clearance within 72 hours;

Fund security shield:Five-layer risk control system for the zero risk of high-value cross-border payment (Bank Custody + Hedging Lock + Compliance Audit);

Digital infrastructure:Intelligent cloud warehouse system for tracing the full life circles of compressor and other heavy equipment.

In the future, on the base of serving domestic customers well, O&K will reinforce the expansion of international market to help more domestic outstanding industrial manufacturing enterprises realize the export of “Wisdom in China” as soon as possible.

Three Major Strategic Layouts for $100 Billion Market

Based on this deep technical exchange, we will further our cooperation to jointly launch the three major strategic actions:

Co-building and sharing technology: We will further our cooperation. Panasonic Sanyo will enhance technical support efforts to build our exclusive technical communication channel, helping O&K better solve the technical problems of users;

Develop ASEAN market:Depending on the advantages of OKmarts platform, we will work jointly to plan the layout on the demanding requirements of industrial cooling equipment in Southeast Asia;

Create the carbon-zero model:Backed by O&K’s powerful systematic industrial solutions, we will accelerate the industrial application process of the magnetic levitation compressor’s group control system, and establish the benchmark of carbon emission reduction in global refrigeration industry.

From technical synergy to strategic alignment, the technical strength of Panasonic Sanyo compressor is deeply integrated with O&K’s cross-border innovation ecosystem. In the future, steered by technology and driven by trust, we will sail the blue ocean of $100 billion refrigeration industry!
