The road to starting a business that sells billions of products

The road to starting a business that sells billions of products
Friends who work at Amazon or live in Shenzhen may know that there is a company that focuses on consumer-grade 3D printers and does an excellent job. It was created by Shenzhen Zongwei Cube.


As some seller friends know, "anycubic" is their 3D printer brand.

Zongwei Cube is also one of the many clients served by WorldFirst.

3D printers, moving from behind the scenes to the front stage


In 2020, the outbreak of the overseas epidemic brought 3D printers to the forefront again.


In March 2020, when medical supplies were in short supply, an Italian design studio used equipment from a Chinese 3D printer company to design and print 100 ventilator valves within 24 hours and delivered them to Brescia Hospital in a timely manner. This incident was widely reported by the New York Times.


The general manager of Zongwei Cube admitted that the 3D printers they purchased were used to print ventilator valves. "If we buy 20 machines, we can print more than 200 valves in an hour."


Of course, the application of 3D printers is not limited to ventilator valves, dentistry, education, design, figures, animation, but also small factories producing molds, etc., all of which can use 3D printing technology.


3D printers make it possible for manufacturing to move toward homes and individuals.

From Amazon to independent websites, the "dangers" and "opportunities" under the epidemic


"Danger"

After the outbreak of the overseas epidemic last year, Zongwei Cube also faced some "challenges", especially in the supply and logistics transportation link. Frequent delays in sea transportation and the blockade of the epidemic in Europe and the United States led to unstable delivery to customers.

For cross-border companies like Zongwei Cube, 2020 was a challenging year.

"machine"

But at the same time, thanks to the demand for epidemic supplies in many regions during the epidemic and the manufacturing convenience brought by 3D printing technology, 3D printing products have become known and accepted by more users and markets.

Zongwei Cube's products are exported to more than 200 countries and regions, and achieved revenue of more than 800 million yuan in 2020.

In addition, like many cross-border e-commerce sellers, we also focus on third-party platforms such as Amazon and Alibaba International Station. When the company has reached a scale of several hundred million, we realize the importance of branding and capturing users.

Independent sites are particularly suitable for cultivating and building our own brands.

The eternal topic of cross-border e-commerce: "Do you need to build a brand?"


Mr. Ouyang gave his own answer, it depends on the situation .

He believes that vertical product categories such as 3D printers need to build their own brands because they are not high-frequency, fast-consumption products with a relatively low repurchase rate , so they need to be remembered by more people through brands.

For some fast-consumed products, such as small daily necessities, branding is not necessarily necessary. After all, a company has limited resources, and creating 1-2 well-known brands is already very successful.

During the discussion, he also mentioned one point:

When exploring many online platforms such as Amazon, we prefer to choose cross-border payment tools such as WorldFirst to help us collect funds back to the country, which facilitates the rapid turnover of funds.
