【Where is Little P】Liu Zhen, Managing Director of Lezhuo Hydraulic: Inheritance and Transformation

April 13, 2026

A Return, Also a New Starting Point
Established in September 2021, Lezhuo Hydraulic inherits the technical expertise and industry experience of Rexroth while combining the flexibility and innovation of a local enterprise. Little P had the honor of interviewing Mr. Liu Zhen, Managing Director of Lezhuo Hydraulic, to unveil the mystery behind Lezhuo.
In August 2021, when Lezhuo Hydraulic had no products, no team, and no organization, Mr. Liu Zhen joined the company. Under his leadership, Lezhuo has grown from scratch at a high speed, taking initial shape.
"To be precise, we started preparing and establishing this company with a vision for development, taking it step by step through trial and action, which has brought us to where we are today."

Inheritance and Transformation
In Mr. Liu's view, the birth of Lezhuo is a crucial part of Rexroth's strategic transformation. "Over the past five to ten years, the Chinese market has actually undergone significant changes. Rexroth is a technology-leading drive and control company, and its hydraulic products have always been at the forefront of the industry in terms of technology and quality. However, the Chinese market has some characteristics different from regions like Europe and North America."

Mr. Liu believes that Chinese customers have higher demands than their European and North American counterparts regarding product price, customer responsiveness, and delivery time. It was precisely under these circumstances that Lezhuo was established. While inheriting Rexroth's product quality and performance, Lezhuo leverages its local advantages to achieve competitiveness in cost-effectiveness, rapid response, and delivery assurance, meeting and even exceeding customer expectations.
"Lezhuo's positioning is to meet the needs of the vast majority of Chinese customers with higher cost-effective products and reliable quality, offering customers an additional choice, an additional trustworthy partner."

Rapid Growth, Staying True to the Original Aspiration
Thanks to its operational independence and autonomy, in less than two short years, Lezhuo has grown from building its organization, supply chain, sales network, and R&D to production and manufacturing, becoming an enterprise with over 100 employees—a speed that is astonishing.
Lezhuo currently has two business divisions: Industrial Hydraulics and Mobile Hydraulics, both originating from Rexroth's advanced products and technologies. In the Industrial Hydraulics segment, Lezhuo primarily focuses on industrial sandwich valves, piston pumps, and internal gear pumps. The application of these products is more concentrated in traditional industrial machinery, including injection molding machines, rubber vulcanizing machinery, cutting machine tools, press forming machinery, shearing and bending machinery, and power units. In the Mobile Hydraulics segment, Lezhuo focuses more on large-volume niche sectors, such as excavators, agricultural harvesters, and aerial work platforms. Currently, Lezhuo has basically completed the layout of product lines required for these industries and has begun achieving mass deliveries for some customers.

Mr. Liu expressed special gratitude to customers in the Chinese market: "Our customers have a very open attitude towards Lezhuo. They not only give Lezhuo opportunities but also provide us with many suggestions for development. Not only are some small and medium-sized equipment manufacturers and OEMs willing to cooperate with Lezhuo, but leading domestic enterprises have also extended olive branches for cooperation. I believe Lezhuo's clear positioning at the initial stage of its establishment conveyed a very clear signal to customers—a signal of trustworthiness."
"Lezhuo hopes to combine the excellent technology and advanced quality of foreign enterprises with the convenience, agility, and speed of Lezhuo's localized operations, offering customers an additional reliable choice. Where customers might have faced difficulties in choosing partners in the past, at Lezhuo, we can help customers solve them."

New Products Awaiting Exhibition
Mr. Wei Dong, also a seasoned Rexroth veteran, currently serves as the R&D Head at Lezhuo Hydraulic. Mentioning PTC, he feels a sense of familiarity: "PTC is a major event in our industry, equivalent to a grand stage for the transmission sector. Since the lifting of pandemic restrictions, I have been looking forward to seeing more customers, more partners, more friends, and even more competitors at this year's PTC exhibition."

According to Mr. Wei Dong, for this exhibition, Lezhuo will bring a rich array of products and solutions for niche sectors. For example, for excavators, there will be main hydraulic pumps and main hydraulic valves, including pedals, for models ranging from 1.8 tons to 8 tons, and over 20 tons. Solutions for mixer trucks, electronically controlled forklift valves for forklifts, mobile hydraulic products for aerial work platforms, as well as hydraulic valves, internal gear pumps, and industrial piston pumps for industrial equipment, will all be presented.
