At the Yonglang team, "active learning" has never been just a slogan—it's a principle ingrained in every member's daily work. This is largely thanks to Sales Director Louis, who has championed this philosophy for years. "Sales isn’t just about selling products, especially in the playground industry. We’re dealing with children’s safety and parents’ trust. Only by continuously learning and strengthening our expertise can we truly live up to this responsibility," Louis often repeats during team training. This has become the team’s "growth mantra."
Recently, Louis brought the sales team to the company’s product showroom. At the center of the room, a range of sophisticated testing tools were neatly displayed—each designed to uncover hidden risks, from checking for potential head or foot entrapment in play structures, to measuring the load-bearing capacity of components with tension gauges, and even assessing the risk of children climbing over certain parts. Every tool corresponds to rigorous European or American safety standards.
"Take this gap gauge, for example," Louis said, picking up a precisely calibrated metal tool and gently fitting it into the seam of a slide. "European standards strictly require that gaps in playground equipment must not exceed certain limits, while American standards go even further, specifying requirements based on different age groups. Why such strict rules? Because if a gap is too wide, a child’s fingers or clothing could get trapped, leading to serious accidents."
As he demonstrated how to use the tools, Louis also shared real-life examples to explain the "safety logic" behind the standards. "Once, a client showed me a design from another company. I could tell at a glance that something was off—the slide and climbing section were placed too close together, creating a conflict in the flow of movement. If children are holding hands while playing, some going down the slide and others climbing up or down, it becomes a serious safety hazard. At Yonglang, we not only ensure the quality of materials but also prioritize safety from the very beginning of the design process. That’s the power of expertise—it not only addresses clients' concerns but also shows them how deeply we value children’s safety."
"Remember, we’re not just selling playground equipment—we’re providing a 'safety barrier' that protects children as they play and grow," Louis emphasized as the session drew to a close. "‘Putting children’s safety first’ isn’t just a tagline. It’s a promise backed by professional knowledge and strict standards. And active learning is what enables us to keep that promise. Only when we are truly professional can parents feel at ease and clients trust us completely. That’s what it means to be a learning-driven team at Yonglang."
At Yonglang, learning is more than a path to growth—it’s a responsibility to protect the joy of childhood.
