CASE
LILY’S JOURNEY: FROM PRODUCTION
ASSISTANT TO PRODUCTION MANAGER
Women are underrepresented in leadership
positions within the AVK Group. Therefore,
we have focused on highlighting women in
our industry in connection with International
Women’s Day over the past few years. On this
day, we share stories through internal and
external media that showcase the contribution
of several female employees across different
companies in the AVK Group. One of our cases
on International Women’s Day features Li Wiili,
also known as Lily, who is an example of a
woman who has thrived in her career at AVK.
More than twenty years ago, Lily joined
AVK Valves (Anhui) Co., Ltd as a Production
Assistant, looking for a place where she could
grow professionally. Today, she works as
Production Manager, overseeing operations
across three factories, coordinating daily
production plans, and solving complex
challenges with her team. Her energy and
dedication remain as strong as ever.
Lily’s development has been shaped by a
supportive environment, a collaborative team,
and leadership that has consistently empowered
her to take initiative and grow. Throughout her
career, she has benefited from guidance that
emphasised integrity, effective communication,
and resilience, not just in theory, but through
practical learning opportunities that allowed her
to apply and expand her knowledge.
She values the technical aspects of her role, but
what she appreciates most is the collaborative
spirit that defines her team. Lily is especially
proud of how they approach challenges
together, focusing on mutual learning and open
dialogue. “Our team doesn’t assign blame, we
share knowledge, reflect, and move forward
stronger,” she explains.
and their shared pursuit of excellence represent
the greatest achievements. She finds deep
satisfaction in working collectively to reach
goals and break new ground.
Looking back, Lily sees her journey as proof
that with dedication and the right environment,
growth is always possible. Her advice to others
considering a future at AVK is clear: if you
approach your work with diligence, dedication,
and a willingness to learn, opportunities for
advancing are waiting to be discovered.
Lily continues to thrive at AVK, not because
the work is easy, but because the journey
never stops. Every new challenge brings fresh
opportunities to gain experience, improve, and
grow together with a team that shares her
commitment.
Reliability is the Core Value that drives Lily’s
work. She is committed to delivering consistent
product quality, meeting deadlines, and earning
customer trust. For her, the unity of the team
