Junhe Pumps Co., Ltd. (君禾股份 / 603617)
Company Overview
Junhe Pumps (君禾泵业股份有限公司, listed as Junhe Co., Ltd. on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under code 603617) is a Ningbo-based manufacturer of household and light commercial water pumps. The company itself was incorporated in April 2003 and listed on the SSE main board in July 2017, but its origins go back further: the founder's business began in 1983 in Yinzhou, entered the pump sector in 1999 through Ningbo Junhe Tool Manufacturing, and started exporting to German and French customers in 2000. That export-first history is a useful signal for foreign buyers, because the product was designed around European market requirements before it was designed for the domestic market.
Group figures published on the company's own site describe more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, group annual output value in excess of RMB 3 billion, around 1,500 employees, over 500,000 square metres of standard factory space and more than 200 patents, of which around 20 are invention patents. The product portfolio now covers water pumps, high-pressure washers, garden tools and power tools, sold under the company's own brands and through OEM arrangements.
Main Products
The four core pump lines are submersible pumps, garden pumps, fountain pumps and deep-well pumps. Beyond pumps, the group has expanded into cleaning equipment through Ningbo Junhe Cleaning Technology (high-pressure washers, vacuums and car-wash equipment, plus lithium battery submersible pumps and pool-cleaning robots) and into complete hardware and electromechanical retail through its own domestic channel platform.
On the component side, Ningbo Junlin Electromechanical in Fenghua produces AC induction motors, AC series motors and brushless DC motors, with a stated capacity of 8 million electromechanical assemblies per year and ERP, MES and WMS systems covering key processes. For a buyer, that vertical integration matters: the motor is the part of a garden pump that determines both price and failure rate, and having it in-house shortens the loop between a warranty claim and a design change.
Manufacturing Footprint
Ningbo is the home base, with the Junhe Intelligent Technology Industrial Park in Ningbo opening in 2021 and a second Junhe industrial park project breaking ground in 2022. Overseas, Huatai Intelligent Technology in Rayong, Thailand, is the group's core offshore production base, built at an investment of roughly RMB 200 million with about 57,000 square metres of floor space, focused on pumps for home, commercial and industrial use and aimed primarily at export markets. That Thai site is worth noting if you are exposed to US Section 301 tariffs or EU anti-dumping measures on Chinese pumps.
Certifications and Quality
The company states that it operates a provincial-level R&D centre, a post-doctoral workstation and laboratories recognised by TUV and UL, and that it holds ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certification. Products are stated to carry CE, German GS and US UL certification. As always, ask for the certificate number and the covered product family rather than accepting the summary: GS and UL certificates are model-specific and it is common for only part of a catalogue to be covered.

Sourcing Notes
Junhe sits in the mid-to-upper band of the Chinese garden pump market rather than at the promotional floor. Expect a factory-gate price roughly 15 to 30 percent above the cheapest Ningbo traders for a comparable specification, and expect that gap to be visible in the motor, the seal and the housing wall thickness rather than in the box. The company is a plausible benchmark supplier when you are evaluating a quote from a smaller workshop: get Junhe's specification sheet for an equivalent model and use it to interrogate what the cheaper offer leaves out.
Because the group sells under its own brands in the domestic market, OEM and ODM customers should clarify territory restrictions and brand exclusivity early rather than at contract stage.
