Haofeng Outdoor Gear expands into the African market again! Custom orders from the Democratic Republic of Congo are ready to be shipped.

 On April 20, 2026, Chongqing Haofeng Automotive Accessories Co., Ltd. (international brand "HaoFeng", hereinafter referred to as "HaoFeng Outdoor Equipment") announced exciting news: a batch of customized outdoor refrigerators, outdoor tables and chairs, and rooftop ladders for customers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has successfully completed production, quality inspection, and packaging, and is about to be shipped to the African continent. This is not only another important milestone in HaoFeng Outdoor Equipment's expansion in the African market, but also demonstrates the strong competitiveness of Chinese automotive outdoor equipment manufacturers in the global market.

The DRC is located near the equator, with a hot and humid climate and complex terrain, placing stringent requirements on the durability, portability, and versatility of outdoor equipment. Haofeng Outdoor Equipment conducts in-depth research during the product design phase, taking into account the characteristics of the local market:

Outdoor Refrigerator: Utilizing military-grade insulation materials and double-layer sealing technology, it ensures continuous cooling for 72 hours in a 40℃ environment, meeting the needs of scenarios such as wilderness exploration and medical supply transportation;

Outdoor Table and Chairs: Made with an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame and high-strength tear-resistant fabric, each set weighs only 8 kg but can support a weight of 200 kg, suitable for complex terrains such as sand and mud;

Rooftop Platform Ladder: Integrating anti-slip serrations and a one-button locking device, it has passed -30℃ low-temperature testing and salt spray corrosion testing, ensuring worry-free long-term use in the rainy season of the Democratic Republic of Congo and coastal areas.

“African users value the ‘all-terrain adaptability’ of their equipment,” said Tang Xiaolan, General Manager of Haofeng Outdoor Equipment. “Through modular design, we allow the same product to be adapted to various vehicle types and scenarios. For example, the ladder can be quickly disassembled into a rescue tool, and the refrigerator has a built-in USB port for charging electronic devices. These details stem from a deep understanding of the needs of African users.”

To ensure that products can withstand long-distance transportation and extreme environments, Haofeng Outdoor Equipment has established a quality management system covering the entire product lifecycle:

Material Selection: The outdoor refrigerator compressor uses German… Imported brand, with refrigeration efficiency 40% higher than ordinary products; table and chair fabrics passed 2000 folding tests, achieving tear resistance 1.5 times the international standard; Production monitoring: In the Chongqing smart factory, robotic arms complete 90% of the welding process, with errors controlled within 0.1 mm. AI vision inspection systems are introduced in the quality inspection process to identify surface scratches, weld bubbles, and other defects in real time; Packaging innovation: Addressing the weak logistics infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a customized "three-proof" packaging solution was developed—an outer galvanized steel box for impact protection, a middle layer filled with air column bags to cushion vibrations, and an inner layer using vacuum aluminum foil to isolate moisture, ensuring the product remains intact during a 45-day sea voyage.

"We even simulated the humidity environment of the Congo's rainy season, conducting a 72-hour pressure test on the packaging," revealed Tang Xiaolan. "Customers can directly unpack and use the product upon receipt, without additional maintenance."

This order from the Democratic Republic of Congo marks a significant step forward for Haofeng Outdoor Equipment's expansion in the African market. Previously, the company had successfully entered the South African market with products such as rooftop tents and side awnings, and plans to cover 10 African countries, including Egypt and Kenya, by 2027.

“Africa’s car ownership is growing at an annual rate of over 8%, but the local outdoor equipment industry is almost non-existent, which provides a huge opportunity for Chinese manufacturers,” Tang Xiaolan pointed out. “We are currently working with local distributors in the Democratic Republic of Congo to build an after-sales service center, training 20 professional technicians, and providing a ‘3-year warranty, 24-hour

In addition, Haofeng Outdoor Equipment also announced that it will continue to invest in R&D to develop green products such as solar-powered outdoor refrigerators and foldable rooftop tents for the African market, contributing to the upgrading of the African outdoor lifestyle.

As a leading enterprise in China’s automotive outdoor equipment industry, Haofeng Outdoor Equipment has built a sales and service network covering more than 30 countries and regions worldwide. From -40°C low-temperature testing in Canada to corrosion resistance challenges in the Brazilian rainforest, from high-end customization for the European market to all-terrain adaptability for the African continent, the company, driven by a dual approach of "technological innovation + localized service," continues to redefine international customers' perception of "Made in China."

"Globalization is not simply about exporting products, but a deep integration of culture, standards, and responsibility," emphasized Tang Xiaolan. "In the future, Haofeng will continue to use Africa as a fulcrum to propel Chinese automotive outdoor equipment from 'cost-effectiveness advantage' to 'brand premium,' allowing global users to feel the warmth and strength of 'Made in China.'"

With the shipment of this batch of customized equipment, Haofeng Outdoor Equipment's African story is turning a new page. On this continent full of opportunities, the "hard power" and "soft service" of "Made in China" are redefining the possibilities of outdoor living.
