Chinese goods are renowned for being cheap. Many people feel that they lack quality, but it is not so. Some of the best smartphones you use today are made in China. All the top consumer appliance manufacturers have production units in China.
For example, Carrier is a top AC manufacturer globally. But Carrier has a manufacturing unit in China. Similarly, Chinese manufacturers have production units in other countries. For example, look at some Chinese AC brands that manufacture air conditioners in India.
Haier AC
You must have heard of Haier TVs, washing machines, and air conditioners. Yes. Haier is a Chinese brand, but do you know Haier has manufacturing plants in India? The Haier AC available on the Indian market is entirely made in India.
Haier India is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Haier Group. Haier India opened its first AC manufacturing plant at Ranjangaon, near Pune. Besides ACs, the unit manufactures washing machines, water heaters, and LED TVs. Haier has a second manufacturing unit in Greater Noida, UP. This company has won the prestigious “Make in India” Award for Excellence.
Haier India manufactures an extensive range of split ACs with variable speed and fixed-speed compressors. These air conditioners have all the features you generally get in other top-quality brands.
Gree AC
Gree is a top-notch Chinese AC brand. Gree Electric Appliances Inc. ranks among the world’s largest AC manufacturers. Gree AC is available in India on the online e-commerce market. However, the company does not have any manufacturing plant in India. Therefore, stockists and suppliers who import these air conditioners and deliver them locally are available.
Mi AC
Xiaomi AC is also among the best-selling ACs globally. Like Gree AC, Mi AC units are not manufactured in India. The parts are imported from China and assembled here.
Midea AC
