The original of the brand founder and product designer of the company:
"I am Balmuda (Bamuda) Brand founder and product chief designer Si Wei Xuan."
Yesterday learned that the millet technology released a similar Balmuda (Bamuda) airengine Air purifier products, I immediately went online to see, found that the air purifier millet and we released in 2012 the product is really amazing similarity, I am very confused about this.
Balmuda (Bamuda) is an innovative enterprise, my team and I have been insisting on is to create a unique, excellent performance and easy to use the home appliance products, for this, we will rack our brains to think how to design products, for each product average drawing more than 2000 pieces of design drawings, For a very small part of the repeated changes, in order to create a surprising product we do not hesitate to labor, so we present products are refreshing, get everyone's praise and love, this is the most fulfilling place for us.
Innovation is the gene of Balmuda (Bamuda), we welcome more innovators to come and bring us a better world, and hope to be imitated by our spirit of innovation, not product.
I think that all the enterprises that provide products to consumers should seriously think about how to repay the consumers through sound competition through continuous technological innovation.
Bamuda will continue to develop the products that can bring surprises to everyone, please look forward to!
