Only innovation-driven can lead the high-quality development of enterprises, and C&Us scientific and technological innovation has been "accelerated", with a record high number of patents granted. According to incomplete statistics, C&U has obtained 387 patents authorized by the State Intellectual Property Office in 2022. These patents cover product innovation, process innovation, functional innovation and other multiple levels. Obtaining patent authorization is both an honor and a responsibility, reflecting the persistence and love of C&U people for innovation, and also reflecting the pursuit of product excellence by C&U.

Innovation is the source of enterprise development. When C&U was first established, there were few professionals, no core technology and no key process, so it was difficult to start the business. However, the company set a high starting point and high standard, and developed a strategy to position the product quality above the national standard of innovation and strengthen the enterprise, and took the "first step" of innovation-led development. Over the past 30 years, the company has completed the development and production of low-noise precision ball bearings, a full range of automotive bearings and other products, breaking the situation of long-term dependence on imports of similar bearings in China, and has grown from a small factory with no reputation to a leading Chinese bearing company and one of the top ten bearings in the world. It has grown from a small and unknown factory to a leading bearing enterprise in China and one of the top10 bearing manufacturer in the world.

Never forget why we started and keep forging ahead! In recent years, facing the major strategic needs of the country, C&U has spared no expense to build a platform, and has established a national technical center, a national accredited laboratory (CNAS), etc., which has given wings to the innovation and development of the enterprise to take off. Based on the accumulation of technologies such as low noise, high precision, long life and high reliability, C&U has accelerated the key core technology research of high-end bearings. Grasp the initiative, seize the high ground of scientific and technological competition and future development, and strive to achieve independent control of key core technologies, the initiative of innovation, the initiative of development firmly in our own hands. C&U has now made important breakthroughs in key core technologies of high-end bearings in rail transportation, high-end CNC machine tools, new energy vehicles and intelligent vehicles, high-end medical devices and other fields.

Innovation is the key strategic ability for the lasting development of the enterprise. C&U attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights, and based on the innovation achievements, organically combines the R&D application of technology and patent strategy to form a perfect intellectual property protection system, which effectively enhances the market competitiveness. In the future, C&U will further increase the investment in R&D, continue to enhance the ability of IP creation, protection, application and management, better play the role of IP to support the innovation and development of enterprises, provide more new technical support for the field of intelligent manufacturing, and help enterprises to develop better and faster.
