Our Manifesto to the World

Since 1999, we began to use the WD brand to represent my name to provide high-quality bearings and professional services to customers around the world. In August of 2000, we founded WD with four of my relatives. Throughout more than 20 years of honest management and hard work, we have gained the trust and support of many customers, established deep friendships and long-term cooperation, and established joint ventures with Korean and Italian partners.

Early in our journey, we genuinely believed we could build a team with excellent values and professional capabilities. With this belief, we established three core ideas for competitiveness in world-class service, pursuit of excellence in R&D, and lean operation. Today, we have seen how the adoption of these values and professional capabilities have propelled the success of WD Bearing Group forward and fostered our relationships with every customer.

Combining WD’s development history and business characteristics, we extensively gathered opinions from the team and determined that WD’s core values include three points:

  • Customer First
  • Co-creation and Sharing
  • Integrity and Professionalism

We have only one boss – the customer. Every WD member knows this. We have seen that putting customers first is our greatest advantage. The demands of the customer inform our business processes, organizational structure, and resource investment. In turn, our customers benefit from our in-depth research, acute understanding of application requirements, and individualized design and manufacturing of high-quality bearings. We create even more value for our customers with personalized solutions.

We firmly believe that by creating and sharing together we can accomplish anything. We look forward to working with our members and partners to enhance our core competitiveness and QCD performance through passion, hard work, sincere cooperation, and continuous innovation to create more value for customers together. The success of our customers will naturally drive our success.

We understand that only with integrity and professionalism can we succeed in the bearing industry. Only by insisting on honor and honesty are we able to build our credibility and ultimately gain the trust and support of others. At the same time, it is only with learning and pursuing continuous improvement that we are able to ensure our professionalism and competitiveness while promoting our evergreen enterprise.

We trust that as long as we endure in practicing these core values, time will become our friend and help us to meet a better self!

Looking into the future, we expect to work with each partner to create a better world. There, we trust each other, cooperate deeply, innovate continuously, and develop our potential even further. We can become a global partner of customers’ personalized bearing solutions and stoke the common good between business and mankind by supplying the world with quality bearings and crafting meaningful partnerships.

Erica Chao

“Every human has four endowments: self awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative  imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom…the power to choose, to respond, to change” Stephen R. Covey

I had been struggling with career fatigue for nearly 5 years since entering into my 30s. Since then, I have grown mentally from a dependent person to someone with true independence. Today, I choose to work towards achieving a status of interdependence.

I enjoy my work not from the achievements, but from the job itself. I am energized by my devotion to creating tremendous value to the company and society as a whole.

I feel true freedom when I stop thinking about my personal image and instead think BIG.
