Suzhou Enterprise Receives Urgent Order from the US, the White House Makes a Mess: Unexpectedly Boosts Chinese Robots!
Recently, a robot company in Suzhou called Mita Intelligent unexpectedly experienced a "sales boom" due to the US tariff policy. Normally, they process several ten thousand orders per year, with thousands of units shipped each month, making them a steady player in the industry.
But last week, the situation suddenly changed — they suddenly received over 1,000 urgent orders from American customers. These orders came too quickly, forcing the company's factories in Suzhou, Dongguan, and Changzhou to work overtime to ship the products.
Why were the American customers so eager? The reason is simple: the White House announced that starting November 1st, it would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods. American customers are worried about the surge in costs, so they rushed to stock up before the tariff takes effect. As a result, Mita Intelligent normally sells a few thousand units per month, but now it has received more than a thousand additional orders, and the company is working hard to catch up.
These orders mainly focus on joint modules used in humanoid robots. Each module is priced at several thousand RMB, which is not cheap, but American customers still rush to buy. According to sources, major clients who placed orders include well-known American tech companies such as OpenAI and Bot Company.
Approximately 70% of high-quality, low-cost robot components globally come from China. Mita Intelligent's joint modules are a typical example, almost regarded as "irreplaceable" parts by American customers.
Interestingly, despite the flood of orders, Mita Intelligent has not taken the opportunity to raise prices. According to sources, these American customers are long-term partners, and the company does not want to "take advantage of the fire," damaging the relationship. This attitude has instead made customers more trusting of them.
