Our Story
Haier began in 1984 as the Qingdao Refrigerator Company, building its first quality fridges through a technology partnership with Germany's Liebherr, the source of the Haier name. After winning China's first national quality gold medal in 1988, it moved into air conditioning in 1991 and grew steadily into global markets. Today, guided by its user-first philosophy, Haier is the world's leading home appliance and smart-living brand.
