grow up，
Step by step, timely transformation
In the course of development of the posh group, Cosmos file cabinet series of launch, it can be said that the turning point in the career of Mr. Yan Zhiming, from here, he found joy in the original design, career development, and out of the building posh group, a solid first step!
Cosmos file cabinet series, is a work of Mr. Yan Zhiming ifangel. However, its success, which leads to a posh was established, was is only the beginning of the cosmos file cabinet series of hot selling products. Taking this as a starting point, Mr. Yan Zhiming in 1992 formally established branch reputation Co., Ltd., to continue to introduce new ideas in the design of the road to find out.
Shortly after, Mr. Yan Zhiming thought the customer to solve the difficult professional spirit, successfully received orders from Hewlett-Packard Co. "This is the first time since the establishment of the branch of the world's top five hundred companies received orders, we are very seriously." However, I am pleased to bring the pain. Since there was Hewlett Packard moved to the opening of the New Times Square, touch on the public company relocation, the handling of office furniture become a problem. At the same time, Hewlett Packard Company need to retain some of the original office furniture, the task is beyond imagination difficult. In order to make the development of the company a greater step, Mr. Zhi Ming Yan for the integration of old and new furniture, a large number of design and manufacturing, a full week of project during sleep in Times Square, thus for HP provides a satisfactory answer.
In this project on the HP, to Mr. Yan Zhiming inspired two: first, to solve the handling and storage of furniture. Using the concept of architectural design, he developed innovative concept of disassembly, work up more time and effort, convenient and quick. Secondly, in the case of Hongkong production costs rise, to have a larger production plant in order to meet the large office furniture engineering projects. In, he by self design, in 1995 in Dongguan completed area of 25 million sq ft of new plant, to enter the mainland market, lay based.
When the production moved to the mainland of China, Mr. Yan Zhiming saw a broader market in the mainland. Ninety years of the mainland, the spring breeze of reform and opening up to bring a business boom, but also for his office furniture issued a friendly signal. Using a surefire plan, he took the lead in the mainland enabled franchise, not only make use of the mainland distributor channels, also called from the catalog to showroom, all in compliance with the Department of the reputation of the brand image of the standard, ensure the posh uniform business philosophy, quickly occupied the mainland a large share of the market for office furniture. At present, branch reputation in the mainland has 21 distribution shops, sales momentum is still rising.
On the one hand, to expand the market in the mainland, on the other hand, Mr. Yan Zhiming did not relax on the overseas market to enter. In 1998, he began to open up the Middle East market, the second year with high quality and professional, soon in Asia, Australia and the Middle East to open up the market, and the establishment of the "best" brand products distribution network. In 2000, and scored in Europe, Africa, Central America and other places, and in the company with the addition of the international business department. In the near future, he also wants to enter the market, such as russia.
And "powerful alliances", is also a leading branch of Mr. Yan Zhiming's reputation as an important step in the world. As early as 1999 and 2002, the United States is the second largest commercial furniture company Miller Herman agents in Hongkong and China, and then formed a strategic alliance, mutual advantage, the common development of the Asia Pacific and the Middle East market. At the same time, Ke Yu also with the world famous Italian company Alea cooperation, in order to authorize the production form, the production of Oscar system furniture. In 2003, with Japan's largest manufacturer of office furniture, Okamura of Japan production cooperatives, in Hong Kong and the mainland of China regional sales the Contessa seats. 2004, with the United States furniture company Corporation CK4 joint research and development Trendway (Intrinsic) file and storage systems, to open up the U.S. market...... Thus posh leveraging the development, adhere to the high-end professional route, in the short more than 20 years, by a small sector transformation into a have transnational business of the company, has more than 2000 employees, and the products are sold to all over the world in the world. From "house architect"
Enterprise architects"
As the vanguard of the Hong Kong office furniture, posh has a huge sales network, based in Hong Kong, mainland connectivity, far more spoke to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe and other, annual sales of hundreds of millions of dollars, will also be involved in the future in the broader region. However, to achieve today's results, was originally a building designer of Mr. Yan Zhiming, may have never thought that there is such a harvest.
Since childhood, Mr. Yan Zhiming growth in a loose education environment, like has never been parents any pressing and will young on the painting interest, sublimation to the design of love, with a first class honours graduation in the Department of architecture of Manchester University of Westminster, also in Britain Cambridge University studying the architectural design master's degree. The trajectory of a road came, he after graduation with excellent results, naturally into the architectural design industry, employment in Britain's James Stirling architects, participated in and the National Library of France, Tokyo International Conference and Exhibition Center and Stuttgart, Germany Music Institute of architectural design and enjoy traveling in the design world.
After returning to Hong Kong, heavy exercise the architectural design work of Mr. Yan Zhiming, found that Hong Kong and the UK design environment is completely two concepts, "in the 1980s and 1990s in Hong Kong, the mainstream of the construction is the commercial and residential construction, developers pay more attention to the completion rate and market sales but ignores the architectural style and innovative design. This situation makes it difficult for Mr. Yan Zhiming to adapt to the new steel plant in his father Yan Wenxi opened a part-time office furniture designed to meet the needs of the design. Unexpectedly, 1991, by Mr. Yan Zhiming first try the cosmos file cabinet series, stacked high, arrangement or extending infinitely etc., allow users to free combination, changing the structure and size of the traditional file cabinet, more adapted to the market demand, and as a file cabinet named "cosmos", more instead of the past, regardless of series and using only digital named file cabinet type code. Thus, Cosmos file cabinet series launched a city, that attracted peoples attention, so that the office personnel pleasantly surprised, also for Mr. Yan Zhiming by architect transferred to office furniture designer stepped out of the beautiful step!
"The famous architect Le Co Bbu Siennaa believes that the building design is the living space and human engineering, office furniture design is also the case. In fact, the two seem very different, the essence is the same, the concept behind the design of the building and furniture are to solve the problem, both around the shape and function. Every design concept has a reason, there are details. Successful design, not only to be practical, but also to enjoy the advantages." With profound architectural design skills of Mr. Yan Zhiming, just a little change, it is feasible to apply the design concept to office furniture design, is still feasible, and still can be done to serve the community.
Thereafter, Mr. Zhi Ming Yan decided to systemic heart investment office furniture design, team composition, to concentrate on research and development of new products, after the launch of in2 system furniture and SL2 desk, also launched a combination of steel and wood desk, screen system furniture and office chairs, and other.
, of course, in addition to the steady, flexible ideas, Mr. Zhi Ming Yan's diligence is ordinary people can not match, and some of the second generation of successors becomes' princelings' different, he rarely pastime, but hard work, midnight with overseas clients access to talk business, every second thinking about how to improve the product, as a father, I also very much appreciate. " From his father Yan Wenxi to his praise, can also be interpreted, Mr. Yan Zhiming paid far more than what people see. God helps those who help themselves, the rainbow after the rain will let people move.
For the development prospects of kiyu, as at the helm of Mr. Yan Zhiming is also a top gun. Is the so-called "Man Road, as the iron, CHAMC, Ershishu, carefully build the brand in Hongkong. Future glory kiyu Our wills unite like a fortress.!
