The tail of the Yellow River, the coast of the Bohai Sea, Dongying District, is attracting more and more companies to settle down and take root with its unique charm.
Shandong Huateng Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., located in Niuzhuang Town, is a rising star in the domestic precision casting field. It is because Dongying District's unique location advantages, complete industrial supporting facilities and high-quality business environment. It resolutely chooses to invest and start a business in the Dongying District Oil-Ground Integration Industrial Park located in Niuzhuang Town, and embarks on a new journey of high-quality development.
Entering Dongying District to open a new chapter
Dongying District is full of vitality in early spring. Compared with the more than 30 years of foundry development history of Dongying District, Huateng Machinery, which was signed and implemented in 2019, is considered a “new” outsider.
“From the project construction to the start of construction, Dongying District has provided strong support. The attracting policies and park construction are very in line with the company's expectations. The comprehensive service allows us to feel the warmth of home.” Recalling the scene when the company settled, Liu Jia, deputy general manager of Huateng Machinery, was still full of emotion.
Walking into the high-tech exhibition hall of Huateng Machinery, the reporter saw a wide range of precision castings of various specifications and models.
A burst of electronic sound came, and a promotional video was playing on the large screen: “Huateng Machinery is mainly engaged in the research and development of precision casting new materials and new products, the production and sales of precision castings and automated production lines, and uses metal to produce stainless steel special casting products and special steel casting products, such as automobile engine accessories, automobile mufflers, three-way catalysis and other exhaust system accessories.”
Picking up a product in the exhibition hall, Liu Jia introduced, “This product is our high-end silicone sol casting, which adopts advanced casting technology and heat treatment technology, and has the characteristics of high strength, good wear resistance and long service life.”
At the same time, in the production workshop, wax injection, tree formation, shell making, dewax, shell burning, casting… With the advancement of processes, precision castings will go from here to the world and become the core components in the fields of aerospace, high-speed rail, automobiles, petrochemicals, etc.
Technological innovation wins with “wisdom”
When it comes to fine casting enterprises, many people have the impression of being pitch-black factories and messy workshops, while Huateng Machinery’s modern factory building is spacious and bright, with advanced equipment. Amid the roar of the machine, the assembly line is running at high speed, and the workers are focused and cooperate with the machine to make the product take shape quickly.
What is even more different from the past is that in the workshop now, more intelligent equipment is “singing the lead”. Workers can complete a series of complex operations with just a click of the mouse.
“So amazing!” With a scream, the reporter turned his gaze to the workshop. The robot was constantly waving his “arms”, accurately positioning, grabbing and assembling various modules, and this step can be completed in just a few seconds.
“This is our latest intelligent casting production line, from mold production to casting molding, all of which have been automated. Not only has the efficiency increased by 20%, but the product pass rate has also reached more than 95%. “Liu Jia pointed to the equipment that is running and proudly introduced to the reporter, “In the past, a production line required more than a dozen people to operate, but now only two or three people are needed, and the labor intensity is greatly reduced.”
Intelligent casting workshop, modern assembly lines, digital production processes, lightweight integrated precision castings… In recent years, Huateng Machinery has adhered to the innovation-driven development strategy, increased investment in scientific and technological research and development, and actively promoted intelligent transformation. It is striving to develop towards ecological environment-friendly, high-end process equipment, and intelligent full-process.
From traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, Huateng Machinery has embarked on a new path for high-quality development. In the new year, Liu Jia is full of confidence in the future development of Huateng Machinery. “We will continue to increase our efforts in scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the promotion of intelligent and digital transformation, and strive to build a leading domestic and first-class precision casting manufacturer in the world, and contribute to the high-quality economic and social development of Dongying District.”
Keep improving and broad market
Under Liu Jia's gaze, a container full of car casting products embarked on a journey to Germany.
“It will take a 20-day sailing journey and be transported to a factory in Germany on time, appearing on the assembly line, becoming an important part of assembling Volkswagen,” Liu Jia introduced.
“Ding~” After answering the phone, Liu Jia was fully communicating with customers from Germany on the progress of the supply of auto parts in the next quarter.
“Our supply orders with Volkswagen Germany have been signed for 7 years. The continued strong cooperative relationship not only comes from Huateng Intelligent Manufacturing's precise production process and stable product attributes.” Liu Jia said confidently, “After long-term cooperation, we are no longer just a part processing factory, but a partner who can help solve pain points and difficulties in the production process from the perspective of the other company.”
Not only that, Huateng Machinery also actively participates in domestic and foreign industry exhibitions, strengthens communication with customers, and continuously enhances brand awareness and influence. Liu Jia said, “We have also increased our efforts to develop new products, continuously meeting customers' personalized needs, and our market share has increased year by year.”
“We always adhere to the business philosophy of “quality first, user first”. From raw material procurement to product shipment, every process is strictly controlled to ensure that the product quality reaches the international advanced level.” Liu Jia said, “The difficulty of making is not one or two pieces, but that hundreds or thousands of pieces are maintained uniform.”
“25% are exported to Asia-Pacific countries such as Japan, Australia, Turkey, and 55% are exported to Europe such as Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands…” On the wall of honor in the exhibition hall, a large number of words quietly tell the legend of Huateng Machinery.
With its excellent product quality, Huateng Machinery's products are not only sold well in the domestic market, but also exported to Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, winning wide praise from customers.
The rise of Huateng Machinery is a microcosm of Dongying District's optimization of the business environment and promoting high-quality development. I believe that in Dongying District, a hot land full of hope, more and more enterprises will grow vigorously and flourish like Huateng Machinery, injecting new vitality into the economic and social development of Dongying District.
