Approaching Industry Challenges

LEAP Series Machine Shows Exceptional Performance

In recent years, the die casting industry has faced new transformation and upgrading challenges as new technologies and processes have emerged. The rapid development of new energy vehicles, 5G products, and other industries has led to stricter demand for die casting processes, as well as complex thin-walled and ultra-large die casting structural parts. For this, YIZUMI successfully launched the LEAP series die casting machine in 2021.

The LEAP series die casting machine has improved in terms of intelligent die casting cells, mold design, and die casting processes, etc. resulting in an international advanced level of key performance. It achieves high Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by improving product availability, process repeatability, and accuracy. We recently celebrated the sales of LEAP series machines exceeding 600 million Yuan.

To ensure the smooth delivery of the LEAP2000U die casting machine, engineers from both sides worked hard to commission equipment performance and ensure that it operates well. In addition, YIZUMI has offered several training courses on operation instructions and techniques to assist HICOM Diecastings' engineers in mastering the equipment, and they have shown remarkable learning capacity and adaptability.

Deepening International Cooperation

The Southeast Asian Market Drives New Development

As a critical part of its development strategy, YIZUMI has established a subsidiary in Thailand in June of this year, indicating the company's firm determination to strengthen international collaboration in advanced technologies and expand its overseas market layout.

According to KPMG, exports of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic devices from China to Southeast Asia surged by up to 89.3% year on year in 2023, outpacing the global market.

YIZUMI, a global molding equipment system and turnkey solution provider, offers injection molding, die casting, and rubber molding equipment that can be widely employed in the manufacturing of diverse parts for new energy vehicles.
