Water is the lifeblood of any building, especially in large commercial complexes where systems such as central air conditioning, boilers, cooling towers, and landscape water features run continuously. Efficient water treatment is not merely a technical requirement-it is a strategic investment in operational stability, energy efficiency, and environmental compliance. For property managers and developers, choosing the right water treatment partner means safeguarding asset value, reducing lifecycle costs, and enhancing occupant comfort and safety.
With over three decades of expertise, Shanghai Emperor of Cleaning Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 603200) has established itself as a pioneer in integrated water treatment solutions in China. Founded in 1994 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2017, the company embodies the philosophy of “Harnessing Water’s Virtue, Embracing All Streams, Cleansing the Source, and Building a Shared Future.” Today, we operate globally under the domestic brand “ECH” and the international brand “ECOSPARK,” with subsidiaries across the United States, the United Kingdom, UAE, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, serving clients in over 128 Fortune 500 companies.
As witnesses, participants, and beneficiaries of this 30-year journey of deep cultivation, we employees hold profound feelings. I still remember the early days of the company when the team traveled all over the city with simple testing equipment, carefully adjusting parameters for every small project. Even then, we firmly believed that water treatment would become a core necessity for building operations. Watching the company grow from a single chemical supplier to an integrated enterprise capable of providing end-to-end services including R&D, production, equipment supply, engineering, and operation; from steady expansion in the domestic market to the establishment of overseas subsidiaries across continents; from serving local businesses to becoming a long-term partner of top-tier commercial real estate such as Plaza 66 and Raffles City, this sense of pride in growing in tandem with the company has long been deeply etched in every employee’s heart.
We have personally experienced the challenges in the emergency renovation and expansion project of the Chinese Consulate General in Karachi, Pakistan, standing firm under the scorching sun in a foreign land to ensure the stable operation of every water treatment system. We have also witnessed our smart dosing systems and IoT-based monitoring platforms operating precisely in landmark buildings like Shanghai Plaza 66, continuously optimizing water and energy consumption. When we see the projects we participated in receiving green building certifications, hear clients praise “the system is running smoothly” and watch the number of qualification certificates grow from a handful to a comprehensive system covering Class A operation qualifications, multiple ISO certifications, and CE certifications, the sense of accomplishment of “creating value through professionalism” makes every overtime shift and every technological breakthrough meaningful.
Backed by a comprehensive portfolio of industry certifications，including Class A Environmental Pollution Control Facility Operation License, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, CE certification for 11 water treatment equipment lines, and NSF under application-ECH combines technical authority with operational excellence. We also hold top-tier qualifications in boiler chemical cleaning, hazardous chemical operation, and environmental engineering design, making it one of the few integrated players capable of offering R&D, chemical production, equipment supply, engineering, and long-term operation services. Behind this lies the company’s continuous investment in technological innovation, as well as the dedication to excellence of every employee in their respective positions. From the R&D team repeatedly testing and optimizing chemical formulas, to engineering personnel conducting precise construction and commissioning on-site, and the operation and maintenance team responding to monitoring 24/7, we deeply understand that every qualification obtained and every project’s success is the result of countless days and nights of perseverance and refinement.
For commercial properties, water management extends far beyond basic treatment, it integrates intelligence, sustainability, and aesthetics. ECH provides a full spectrum of solutions including central air conditioning water treatment, boiler water systems, rainwater harvesting and reuse, sewage and reclaimed water treatment, landscape water systems, and pool/SPA water management. Its smart dosing systems and IoT-based monitoring platforms enable real-time control and predictive maintenance, significantly reducing water and energy consumption while ensuring system reliability. As employees, we are fortunate to participate in the practical application of these innovative technologies, watching the traditional water treatment industry revitalize through smart technology, and seeing our professional capabilities continuously improve on the platform built by the company, growing from inexperienced technical newcomers to competent backbones. This experience of “progressing with the industry and developing with the company” fills us with boundless enthusiasm for this career.
ECH’s excellence is reflected in an impressive portfolio of landmark projects across China and overseas. The company has served over 300 iconic buildings in nearly all major Chinese cities. In the commercial real estate sector, ECH has become a trusted partner for top-tier developers and operators. Notable collaborations include Plaza 66 (Shanghai, Wuxi, Tianjin, Shenyang), Raffles City (Shanghai, Ningbo), Chengdu International Finance Square, Wanda Plaza (Nanjing, Tangshan, Quanzhou, Zhenjiang, etc.), and Shanghai Times Square. Behind every landmark project stands the figure of our employees, perhaps repeated deliberation during pre-project plan communication, meticulous attention to detail during construction, or careful inspections during post-operation maintenance. When wandering in these bustling commercial complexes, seeing the clean landscape water systems and feeling the comfortable indoor environment, we deeply know that we are empowering the value of these buildings and safeguarding people’s better lives through professional water treatment technology.
Water management in commercial buildings is no longer an invisible utility, it is a visible value driver. From reducing operational costs to supporting green building certifications and enhancing user experience, a sophisticated water strategy is essential for modern real estate assets. And we are the practitioners of this value strategy. Through over 30 years of trials and hardships, we have witnessed the company’s rise and achieved personal growth nurtured by the company. Here, there is a corporate culture that respects professionalism, a development platform that encourages innovation, team partners who work hand in hand, and a common mission of “making water cleaner and buildings more sustainable.”
With three decades of dedication, a global service network, continuous innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Our company(ECH or overseas brand ECOSPARK) stands ready to be your strategic partner in building sustainable, efficient, and future-ready properties. And every one of us employees will continue to delve into the water treatment field with passion and perseverance for this career, guarding the value of more commercial real estate with professionalism and responsibility, and writing a new chapter of mutual growth between the company and individuals.
