"Tongmao" (trade name) enterprise was founded in 1935 in Shanghai, China,by Shi Family on the former Priest Du Road No. 130 (now Yonglian Road No. 130) , the main business was the maintenance of automotive engine cylinders and production of related accessories. In 1940, it was renamed as "Rongchang Automobile Repair Factory". In 1942, a branch factory " Rongchang Machine Factory" was stablished in Wuxi . In 1956, Wuxi Rongchang Machinery Factory was merged into Wuxi Power Machinery Factory (national backbone enterprise). After several decades of hardships and development, in 2002, Jiangsu Kaidi Dynamic Control System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kaidi ) was established in Wuxi by Shi Family’s descendant Shi Yongqiang, mainly undertakes R&D and production of various automotive turbochargers, electronic cooling water pumps, as well as to customize intelligent controlled equipments for production and test.
Kaidi locates near the coast of Taihu Lake in Wuxi city, Jiangsu Province,with the total assets over 180 million RMB, the existing plant covers an area of 28,000 square meters including 3,500 square meters of R&D center.

In 2015, Kaidi entered into the domestic OE market and had been listed on over fifteen official announcements as Vehicle Applied Turbocharger Manufacturers to meet National Emission Standard VI . The“double electronic control & double variable nozzle ring structure” invented by Kaidi mainly served for high-power engines, meeting the requirements on the plateau over 5500 meters altitude.The below 40KW powered two-cylinder engine applied turbocharger that developed by Kaidi is able to meet the demands in the areas for more than 2000 meters altitude ,more importantly, engine efficiency was enhanced. After the efforts for over a decade ,the natural gas engine applied turbocharger to meet the request of 850 degree Celcius was successfully developed and had been supplied for more than five domestic OE engine companies . At the same time, Kaidi also undertakes customized mechanical projects for OE or high-precision standards. At present,Kaidi owns more than 300 sets of various manufacturing equipments, including intelligent robotic production lines, complete measuring systems, data storage servers, which is able to manage to control the whole production process.
