Foster Strategic development in East China
East China, a key engine of China's economic development, not only boasts a vast scale and significant agglomeration effects in the new materials industry but also shows a thriving trend in multi-sector industrial cluster, demonstrating formidable vitality. In recent years, leveraging its profound industrial heritage and outstanding innovation capabilities, the region has emerged as a shining highland in China's new energy vehicle manufacturing sector.
YIZUMI, keenly assessing market trends and strategic opportunities, had chosen to establish its East China base in Nanxun, Zhejiang. This decision was based on a deep understanding of future market dynamics and aims to better serve the vast surrounding industrial clusters, thereby driving the development of intelligent manufacturing.
The establishment of YIZUMI East China Production Base will create a synergistic effect with YIZUMI China Wujiang Factory, bringing it closer to customers and markets in East China, and enabling faster, more efficient response and services. At the same time, Nanxun's unique resource advantages and superior business environment will provide momentum and support for YIZUMI's continuous exploration and rapid development in intelligent manufacturing.
"The establishment of YIZUMI East China Base is a pivotal move in our strategic layout. It not only responds to capacity upgrade trends in China but also captures the future development trends of intelligent manufacturing." Mr. Yan emphasized, "It will significantly promote the research, development, and industrialization of large two-platen injection molding machines, drive the widespread application and industrial implementation of digital molding equipment in the industry, and thereby contribute greatly to the robust development of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry in the East China region and across the country."
Upgrade production capacity to build industrial clusters
YIZUMI East China Production Base, a strategic move in the company’s production capacity upgrade, spans 220,000 square meters with an investment of over 2 billion Yuan. It integrates R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service, becoming a comprehensive regional base in East China.
Phase 1 of the Base, covering an area of 110,000 square meters with a planned annual production capacity of over 1,000 medium to large tonnage two-platen injection molding machines, is set to add more than capacity of 1.5 billion yuan for YIZUMI's injection molding machine product line. This initiative is expected to enhance YIZUMI's production capabilities in the East China region in synergy with YIZUMI China Wujiang Factory, thereby boosting YIZUMI's global expansion capabilities and delivery speed, laying a foundation for achieving the company's production target of over 10 billion Yuan.
With its Global Operation strategy, YIZUMI is continuously advancing its global layout and accelerating the upgrade of market expansion and customer service. Currently, YIZUMI has established multiple production bases worldwide and has set up over 12 technical service centers to meet the needs of local and neighboring customers in various countries and regions. This strategic move not only aligns with the company's commitment to integrating global resources and optimizing supply chain management but also underscores its dedication to enhancing its global footprint and service capabilities.
By the end of 2024, YIZUMI has had a total of five injection molding machine production bases in YIZUMI China Wusha No.1 Factory, YIZUMI China Wusha No.2 Factory, YIZUMI China Wusha No.3 Factory, YIZUMI China Wujiang Factory, and YIZUMI India factory. The establishment of this new base will further improve YIZUMI's industrial supply chain and cluster layout, enhance production efficiency, and reduce production costs, providing strong support for the company's global business operations.
In the future, YIZUMI East China Production Base will collaborate with other YIZUMI factories to establish a high-end intelligent equipment industry cluster that integrates the company's headquarters, factories, production bases, industrial internet, molding solutions, and incubation platforms. This initiative aims to enhance YIZUMI's production efficiency and reduce costs, providing robust support for the company's global operations.
Digital Innovation Driving the Future of Smart Manufacturing
Amid the global shift towards advanced manufacturing, digital factories are driving the industry towards greater intelligence and efficiency.
