In May 1998, Zhongshan Chuantian Sanitary Products Co., Ltd. (the predecessor of Guangdong Chuantian
Sanitary Products Co., Ltd.) was established. It was named "Kawatian" because it was founded in the
beautiful "mountains and fields". It purchased a 270mm sanitary napkin production line. Set foot in the
sanitary products industry. In June 2018, Guangdong Kawada Hygiene Products Co., Ltd. successfully held
its 20th anniversary celebration in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, celebrating Kawada's
achievements in the past 20 years with industry colleagues and looking forward to future development.
The ancients said: Twenty weak crowns, to show adults. Kawada’s 20-year Fanghua has gone through
hardships and joy, and gained reputation and happiness from its sailing to the present day. On June 16,
2018, on the occasion of Kawata’s 20th anniversary celebration, "Life Paper" magazine interviewed the
company, listened to the story behind Kawata’s 20-year transformation, took the pulse of development
and experience, and felt the love and warmth that touched the heart. Picking up the years under 20
years of Fanghua... Fanghua·Focus. Kawada’s 20 years are divided into two major stages: the stage from
1998 to 2009, which is always called the "foundation building" stage; the second stage is the "focus"
stage from 2010 to 2018. The "foundation" stage is a process of constantly searching for the company's
development path. Kawada has made a lot of attempts, but what remains unchanged is that he has never
given up on the production of feminine hygiene products. From the beginning of its establishment, the
production line of self-purchased 270mm sanitary napkins was started. In 2001, it cooperated with the
OEM of Sibaojieting sanitary napkins. In 2002, the production line of Kuaiyibao sanitary napkins was
put into use, and in 2003, it has its own brand of extraordinary charm sanitary napkins. After going
public, Kawada people gradually figured out a set of clear strategic plans suitable for their own
development. 2010 is the year of "Butterfly Change" for Kawada. The company integrates all resources
and officially positions itself to focus on the OEM and ODM business of feminine hygiene products,
concentrates on the development and production of feminine sanitary napkins and sanitary pads, and
establishes its corporate mission and vision. And values. "This is the overall policy and action plan
of Kawada's operations. Any decision of the company is based on it." At the same time, it weakens the
production of its own brand of extraordinary charm sanitary napkins. The current proportion of this
business has increased from 40 in 2008. % Is reduced to 5%, product adjustment and supply shall be
carried out based on the demand of distributors. Baixue first aspired, the keynote was set, Kawada then
entered a period of accumulating energy. After 8 years of perseverance and dedicated investment, Kawata
has grown and developed, and now has three production bases and five major factories in Guangdong
Kawatian, Guangdong Kawatian South Branch, Wuhan Kawatian, Hangzhou Kawatian and Zhejiang Kawatian.
Headquartered in Hong Kong, China, it has more than 40 production bases. An advanced full-servo
sanitary napkin and sanitary pad production line with a production capacity of 2.6 billion pieces in
2017 and a sales volume of 500 million yuan. The company's products have passed the ISO9001, ISO14001
quality management system certification and the US FDA certification. It has more than 50 patented
technologies and continuous innovation. It cooperates with the top ten new retail sanitary napkin
brands. In addition to supplying the Chinese market, the products are also exported to the United
States, Europe, and Australia. In developed countries and regions, it provides high-quality sanitary
products for female consumers around the world and has won the reputation of the industry.
Fanghua·Grinding. Kawada’s 20 years are 20 years of polishing products. With its positioning of
focusing on the production of sanitary napkins and sanitary pads, Kawada speaks with its strength, and
has spoken with Anerle, Jieting, Qianjin Jingya, ABC, Free, Nasi Princess and other well-known domestic
brands of sanitary napkins have established cooperative relations. "Made in China" sanitary napkins
have not only been recognized by domestic consumers, they are also representatives of high-quality
quality in overseas developed countries. Since the export business started in 2006, the export volume
accounted for about 10% of the company's overall business, and only exported to the United States,
Europe, Australia and other developed countries and regions, winning the trust of international
customers with high quality. Kawada’s 20 years are also the 20 years of the rise of China’s feminine
hygiene products. Under the background of rising consumption levels and the continuous strengthening of
domestic sanitary napkin production equipment, Kawada strictly monitors product quality, and the
products produced by each device must be mirrored. , Interface, metal, weight, multi-piece/small-piece
production requirements. At the same time, the key to polished products is to improve the aesthetics,
softness, breathability, dryness and safety of the products under the premise of ensuring quality, so
as to find a balance point, develop tools and miss codes, etc. A series of inspection procedures can be
delivered. The reason for choosing domestic equipment is that the gap between it and foreign equipment
has gradually narrowed, and the other is that it is flexible and can meet the diversified functions of
customers to produce sanitary napkins with detailed highlights and differentiation, and to seize the
niche market. Kawada's next product planning. At present, the production workshop of the Wuhan
Chuandian factory has reached GMP requirements and will be used to vigorously develop the production of
medical-care sanitary napkins in 2019. In order to form its own technological advantages, Kawada has
determined the development direction from OEM to ODM production. In May 2018, the product research and
development center was completed, with a total area of about 1,050m2. The first phase invested 5
million yuan to set up a 155m2 standard physical and chemical laboratory, a 75m2 10,000-level
microbiology laboratory, and 19m2 a 10,000-level precision constant temperature and humidity.
Laboratory, supporting 128m2 training center, office area, sample room, sample room, sample room,
reference room and other related facilities. The R&D center has three sections: Engineering Technology
Center, VI Design Center, and Test Center, which can conduct sample production, dynamic simulation
experiments, etc., and at the same time, through team research, college-enterprise cooperation, and
expert guidance, we will continue to strive for excellence and develop to meet customer needs. For new
products, vigorously develop R&D and creation, and gradually move on to the track of using technology
to operate. In addition, through participating in domestic and foreign exhibitions, listening to
customer feedback, field research and other channels, collect information, conduct forward-looking
research, and make reserves for the construction of independent development. For the waste and waste
generated in the production process, Kawada will uniformly hand over to the environmental protection
company for disposal. Said that as a company with a sense of social responsibility, it is Kawada's
consistent aim to build a long-term reputation. The company has invested a lot of manpower and material
resources in environmental protection, such as introducing two generations of dust treatment equipment,
establishing waste treatment stations, etc., and standardizing the entire production process , Strictly
abide by the requirements of the national environmental protection policy. Fanghua·warmth. Twenty years
of beauty, warmth follows. For 20 years, Kawada has not only produced nursing products that can bring
warmth and care to women, but also has always adhered to this warmth for the company and employees. The
company is full of human touch. On May 31, 2016, a fire broke out in the Guangdong Kawada factory in
Zhongshan due to power supply line problems. At a meeting after the fire, Kawada made clear the goal of
"two guarantees": first guarantee customers so that their orders will not be affected; second guarantee
For employees, the factory resumed production only 15 days after the fire. During this period,
employees’ wages were paid as usual. During these 15 days, Kawada decomposed the production capacity of
the Zhongshan factory and deployed employees to other factories for production. Every employee had no
complaints and actively engaged in the restoration and construction of the factory, and no one left.
The upstream manufacturers stated that they could use the raw materials to satisfy the production and
extend the billing period by 3 months before paying. Downstream customers also expressed their
understanding that they should use inventory as much as possible to deliver goods without putting too
much pressure on Kawada. In this way, the company was up and down in the same boat, twisted into a
rope, and finally survived the storm. The most moving is true feelings. Kawada people are moved,
grateful and grateful for the support and perseverance of customers and employees. The industry feels
very warm, and Kawada's 20 years have also gone all the way in such warmth. As early as 2010, the
company established the Employee Love Mutual Aid Association. One family has difficulties and multiple
supports. The difficulties are temporary, but this love can be passed on for a long time. Kawada’s
employees have high stability and strong cohesion. Many people work here because of their parents. They
also choose to come to Kawada to continue working. They are willing to grow with the company, sweat and
share the joy of harvest. Kawada’s warmth is also reflected in openness and enterprising and win-win
cooperation. The company creates a learning organization, encourages employees to continue learning,
and provides technical training, so that each employee has the opportunity to accumulate knowledge,
improve themselves, and work and live better. At the same time, we will communicate with upstream and
downstream companies in the industry, share production experience, maintain an open mind and seek
common challenges, and integrate the spirit of torrential courage and love into the blood to create a
warm enterprise and enhance employee happiness. Walk to the place where there is no surprise, look back
at the full bloom. The change of Chuantian Road, the outlook is beautiful. The company develops with
China and realizes the improvement of the overall level of the industry. Kawada is keen to pass on this
warmth. Although it is a matter of bit by bit, as long as it can contribute to the progress of the
entire industry, Kawada is willing to do it and is willing to share it together. Working behind closed
doors will only be complacent, and openness and win-win will continue to flow. Twenty years of Fanghua,
