Positec / WORX (宝时得)
Company Overview
Positec (宝时得科技) is a Suzhou-headquartered manufacturer of power tools, garden tools and robotic lawn mowers. It was founded in China and has grown into a global group with operations and employees worldwide. Its best-known consumer brands are WORX (威克士) and Kress (卡胜), and its products are sold across many international markets, primarily through retail and e-commerce channels.
Unlike a pure OEM factory, Positec is a brand-led manufacturer. It invests in its own product design, patents and user experience, which is why it is often cited as an example of a Chinese tool company that competes on innovation rather than price alone. For buyers, this means the company behaves more like a brand owner than a bare contract manufacturer.
