Yingqu Technology, known internationally as Xiamen Intretech Inc., is a Chinese technology and intelligent-manufacturing company headquartered in Haicang District, Xiamen, Fujian Province. Its business activities encompass intelligent manufacturing, intelligent-control components, consumer electronics, smart-home technology, and automotive electronics. The company is publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under stock code 002925 [1].

Within the broader corporate structure, Yingqu Smart (盈趣智能) serves as the consumer-facing smart-home brand. It specialises in whole-house smart-home systems, offering products such as smart switches, control panels, smart screens, lighting, shading systems, locks, sensors, and related home-automation solutions [1].

Yingqu Smart is positioned as a provider of human-centred, integrated smart-home experiences rather than merely a manufacturer of individual connected devices. Its official English-language website describes the brand as a partner for a “humanized intelligent ideal home life” [1].

Note on the name: “Yingqu” (盈趣科技, Yíngqù Kējì) can refer to several unrelated Chinese companies or product sellers in the Philippines and elsewhere. For example, some e-commerce listings use the name for grooming products or other consumer goods [2]. This article specifically covers Xiamen Yingqu Technology / Xiamen Intretech Inc. and its Yingqu Smart smart-home business, which represents the most prominent corporate use of the name in current official sources [1].

According to the company’s history, its predecessor was the Network Control Division of Malata Group, established in 2004. Xiamen Yingqu Technology Co., Ltd. was formally established in 2011 [1].

Origins: 2004–2011

The origins of Yingqu date back to 2004, when Malata Group established a network-control business division. This division subsequently developed into the foundation of Yingqu Technology [1].

In 2007, the business established strategic cooperation with international companies including Logitech, Nestlé, and 3Dconnexion, gaining experience in electronics manufacturing and international supply chains [1].

Xiamen Yingqu Technology Co., Ltd. was formally established in 2011 [1].

Expansion into Smart Home

A significant strategic shift occurred in the early 2010s. In 2013, Yingqu established an R&D centre and testing laboratory in Switzerland and began investing heavily in smart-home research and development. In 2014, it partnered with SDAUTOMATION-SA to develop a smart-home ecosystem [1].

These developments moved Yingqu beyond its earlier role as an electronics and industrial manufacturer towards the development of proprietary smart-home technology and products.

International Manufacturing

In 2016, Yingqu established intelligent-manufacturing bases in Malaysia and Hungary, expanding its manufacturing footprint beyond China [1].

The company subsequently developed a global manufacturing network. Current corporate materials identify major locations in China, Malaysia, Hungary, and Mexico.

Public Listing

Yingqu Technology was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2018 under stock code 002925 [1].

The listed-company structure distinguishes Yingqu from standalone smart-home startups; its smart-home business operates within a larger technology and manufacturing organisation.

Yingqu Smart is the company’s dedicated smart-home business and consumer-facing brand.

The brand’s proposition centres on whole-house intelligence, integrating various categories of home equipment into a unified control environment rather than treating lighting, curtains, climate, security, and entertainment as isolated products [1].

Current product categories include:

• Smart control panels
• Smart switches
• Smart screens
• Lighting
• Shading and curtains
• Smart locks
• Sensors
• Whole-house automation systems
• Residential and commercial smart-home projects [1]

The portfolio includes product families such as the Bern Series, Lucerne II Series, Geneva Series, Thun Lite Series, and the Yingqu Smart Screen Pro [1].

A central characteristic of Yingqu’s approach is the combination of hardware, connectivity, software, and intelligent manufacturing.

Rather than positioning smart switches or screens as standalone gadgets, Yingqu aims to integrate these components into a larger home-automation system. A whole-house scenario can coordinate lighting, curtains, climate control, security, audio-visual equipment, and sensors through centralised controls and predefined scenes.

Project examples include scenarios where opening a door triggers lighting, curtain, and music actions simultaneously [1]. This positions Yingqu closer to the professional whole-house automation segment than to purely consumer-oriented smart-home gadgets.

Wired and Wireless Architecture

Yingqu employs a parallel wired and wireless smart-home architecture. The company emphasises wired systems for stability while supporting wireless technologies for flexibility and retrofit applications. Technical materials specifically reference IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee 3.0 [1].

Yingqu has been a member of the Zigbee Alliance since 2015 and participates in smart-home and IoT standards development [1].

Zigbee

Zigbee provides a low-power wireless networking layer suitable for sensors, switches, and other smart-home devices. The company describes its system as using the Zigbee PRO network-layer protocol in the 2.4 GHz band, based on IEEE 802.15.4 [1].

Matter

Yingqu highlights Matter, the cross-platform smart-home standard intended to improve interoperability between devices and ecosystems. Corporate materials describe Matter as an open-source interoperability standard for smart homes and buildings, presenting it as a vital part of the modern smart-home ecosystem [1].

Apple HomeKit

Yingqu states that its smart screen holds HomeKit certification, allowing compatible smart products to be controlled through Apple’s Home app and Siri [1]. This enables Yingqu hardware to coexist within a wider Apple smart-home environment.

A key distinction between Yingqu and many consumer smart-home brands is its manufacturing background. The parent company operates an ODM/UDM-oriented intelligent manufacturing model, combining R&D, production, testing, industrial software, and supply-chain capabilities [1].

The group reports the following resources:

• Over 40 global or holding subsidiaries
• More than 3 global intelligent-manufacturing bases
• Over 6,000 employees
• More than 1,300 senior engineers
• 7 R&D centres
• More than 1,390 patent applications or valid patents claimed on its group profile, including 440 invention patents [1]

The Xiamen innovation industrial park has a reported construction area of approximately 202,000 square metres [1].

The manufacturing system includes automated production equipment, SMT lines, industrial robots, testing laboratories, intelligent warehouses, and manufacturing-execution systems [1].

Bern Series

The Bern Series is one of Yingqu Smart’s flagship control-panel families. It includes scene panels, full-screen panels, and knob panels. The design philosophy emphasises combining multiple functions while maintaining an architectural, interior-design-oriented appearance [1].

Products in this family have received international design recognition, including the Red Dot Award and G-Mark Design Award [1].

Yingqu Smart Screen Pro

The Yingqu Smart Screen Pro serves as a central interface for whole-house automation. Beyond functioning as a touchscreen, it integrates temperature control, lighting control, scene control, smart-home control, and smart speaker functionality [1].

Lighting

Yingqu has expanded from control hardware into intelligent lighting, offering fixtures designed to integrate with its broader whole-house automation ecosystem [1].

Smart Locks and Sensors

The portfolio includes smart locks and sensors, extending the system into home security, access control, and environmental sensing [1].

Design plays a significant role in Yingqu Smart’s positioning. The company emphasises a combination of high aesthetics, precision manufacturing, and smart functionality [1].

Corporate history states that the Bern series, launched in 2021, won both the G-Mark Design Award and Red Dot Award. Subsequent introductions, including the Geneva series and Yingqu smart-screen products, have also reportedly received multiple design awards [1].

As smart-home control panels are highly visible architectural objects, Yingqu competes not only on connectivity but also on interior design and premium hardware aesthetics.

Yingqu’s business model extends beyond that of a typical smart-home consumer brand. The group combines:

1. ODM/UDM manufacturing
2. Intelligent-control component development
3. Consumer electronics
4. Smart-home products
5. Automotive electronics
6. Industrial Internet and manufacturing technologies

Its UDM model allows customers to collaborate on product development and manufacturing, while its own smart-home business provides a proprietary consumer-facing product line [1]. Consequently, Yingqu functions simultaneously as a technology manufacturer, engineering organisation, and smart-home brand.

Although Yingqu originated in Xiamen, its operations have become international. The group’s global footprint includes manufacturing and operating locations in China, Malaysia, Hungary, and Mexico.

In September 2025, the company officially opened its Mexico industrial park in Monterrey, positioning the facility as a strategic hub for serving customers in the Americas and supporting localised manufacturing and logistics.

This international footprint reflects Yingqu’s strategy of combining Chinese R&D and manufacturing capabilities with localised production and customer service.

Yingqu Technology is a publicly traded company rather than a privately held boutique smart-home brand.

Financial-report summaries indicate that the company’s reported 2024 revenue was approximately RMB 3.573 billion, increasing to approximately RMB 4.131 billion in 2025.

However, because the company’s business mix extends beyond smart homes, these figures should not be interpreted as Yingqu Smart’s standalone revenue. Yingqu Technology (Intretech) is the parent corporate organisation, while Yingqu Smart is one of its strategic businesses.

English-language materials sometimes use both “Yingqu” and “Intretech,” which can cause confusion. The relationship is structured as follows:

• Xiamen Yingqu Technology / Yingqu Technology
• International name: Xiamen Intretech Inc.
• Business areas: UDM/ODM manufacturing, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, smart home
• Smart-home business/brand: Yingqu Smart / 盈趣智能

The company’s international corporate website uses Intretech, while its Chinese identity and many subsidiaries continue to use Yingqu terminology [1].

Yingqu Smart is broadly positioned in the mid-to-high-end whole-house smart-home market. Its competitive proposition rests on four elements:

• Integrated whole-house control rather than individual smart gadgets
• Professional wired and wireless architecture
• Industrial-scale R&D and manufacturing
• Architectural product design, particularly for smart switches, panels, and central control screens [1]

Conceptually, Yingqu aligns more closely with a whole-home automation platform than with a conventional consumer-electronics label.

Depending on geography and price segment, Yingqu operates alongside companies and ecosystems such as:

• KNX-based professional smart-home integrators
• Schneider Electric
• Legrand
• ABB
• Lutron
• Control4
• Crestron
• Aqara
• Huawei Smart Home
• Xiaomi/Mijia
• Other Chinese whole-house intelligent-home companies

Comparisons are not strictly one-to-one. Companies such as Xiaomi and Aqara have stronger mass-market consumer ecosystems, while KNX integrators, Lutron, Crestron, and Control4 traditionally maintain a stronger professional-installation orientation.

Yingqu’s distinctive position lies in its combination of professional whole-house automation, proprietary hardware, and large-scale Chinese manufacturing.

Strong Manufacturing Background

Unlike many smart-home startups, Yingqu is backed by a large electronics-manufacturing organisation with substantial production and engineering infrastructure [1].

Whole-House Integration

The portfolio covers many major categories required for a complete smart-home installation rather than focusing on a single device category [1].

Multiple Connectivity Standards

Support for technologies such as Zigbee and Matter provides a pathway toward broader interoperability [1].

Design Focus

Yingqu has invested significantly in the appearance of its control panels and has received international design recognition [1].

International Manufacturing

Operations in Malaysia, Hungary, and Mexico provide a more international manufacturing footprint than many China-focused smart-home brands.

From a consumer perspective, Yingqu is less internationally recognisable than brands such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, or Philips Hue.

Its product ecosystem may be more relevant to professional installation and whole-house projects than to users seeking inexpensive plug-and-play smart devices.

Additionally, because Yingqu Technology’s corporate business is much larger and more diversified than Yingqu Smart itself, corporate revenue, employee counts, and manufacturing capacity should not be assumed to represent the size of the smart-home brand alone.
