Since joining in 2012 as a green graduate, Pu Tiantao has fast become one of Midea-owned brand Welling’s most important employees. After being thrust in at the deep-end and getting off to a start that would not have been out of place in a fish-out-of-water comedy, Pu quickly gained a foothold in the world of motor manufacturing. He is now a popular, chatty and enthusiastic colleague. 

When he first joined, he was responsible for improving manufacturing efficiency. Initially the biggest challenge was improving efficiency while staying within preexisting boundaries. Being new to the working world, he rapidly learned a lot about interpersonal politics as he had to keep people with varying opinions and interests onside.

In 2013 and 2014, he oversaw two projects of record-breaking efficiency. The first project lasted from November 2013 to June 2014and saw a dramatic increase in efficiency over the previous year. The second project lasted from July 2014 to January 2015 and generated revenue of 20 million RMB. He was named in the top 30 Welling employees of last year.
