Stable performance in the global economic downturn +++ nearly 19,000 machines delivered worldwide in the first half of 2020 +++ 5,015.7 million RMB sales +++ Digital transformation of the company continues +++ Expansion of global presence

 August 18, 2020, Hong Kong. Haitian International Holdings Ltd (“Haitian International”, together with subsidiaries and affiliates referred to as the “Haitian Group”; share code: 1882), one of the world’s largest manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, announces its half-year results for 2020 (01.01.2020 to 30.06.2020).

Global economy and business performance

The outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic in early 2020 has led to business closures and suspensions in many countries around the world and dealt a severe blow to the global economy. The US-led global trade dispute and the trend toward deglobalization have further intensified. The global economy came to a standstill and fell into recession. In the middle of the global economic downturn, the Haitian Group sold nearly 19,000 machines worldwide in the first half of 2020. The revenues of Haitian International during this period amounted to 5,015.7 million RMB, which is an increase of 0.1%.

Domestic sales in the first half of the year reached RMB 3,320.6 million (RMB 3,320.0 million in the first half of 2019), unchanged compared to the same period last year. Nevertheless, sales have declined in most regional markets due to the pandemic. As part of the Haitian Group’s overseas network expansion, the local management teams performed well, with sales in Turkey, Vietnam and the Philippines showing a significant increase. Our export sales increased by 0.1% to 1,548.4 million RMB.

Outstanding Performance of Haitian Mars Sales

Due to increasing demand for medical, packaging and consumer goods industries under the global spread of Covid19 pandemic, Haitian’s bestseller Mars Series achieved a new record in terms of sales volume, with over 16,000 units Mars machines sold in the first half of 2020, representing an increase of 17.6% as compared to the same period 2019. The sales value of Mars Series totaled RMB 3,656 million RMB, representing an increase of 15.3%. The accumulative sale of Mars Series has exceeded 250, 000 units.

In the first half of 2020, Haitian also started to introduce the 3rd Generation machines in step by step in certain region and the positive feedback from the customers’ side also paved ways for the smooth transition from second to third Generation machines.

Outlook and future strategy

Mr. Zhang Bin, Executive Director of Haitian International, about his views on the global economy: “The Covid19 virus has brought economic activity around the world to a standstill and will continue to affect the global economy after the pandemic. Trade conflicts, deglobalization and geopolitical crises between countries will pose further risks. The major economic organizations have already significantly lowered their expectations regarding the global economy. China’s government has taken a number of economic policy measures that will enable the domestic economy to grow steadily. We remain optimistic about the outlook for 2020”.

With regard to the development of the Haitian Group, Mr. Zhang added: “We will continue the digital transformation of the company at full speed. From the implementation of digital tools for intelligent manufacturing to digitally supported sales & service. Intelligent information systems for management and administration are also included. Our instances in China will be better networked than ever, with all locations around the globe. Another important strategy parallel to digitalization is the continuous expansion of our global presence. Under our proven strategy of “Technology to the Point”, we will continue to meet changing and diversified market demand. We will continue to develop and grow together with our customers, employees and business partners”.

Resumption of production with strict control measures and broad support for epidemic prevention //www.xhxwh.com/en/press-release/30781/ Mon, 20 Apr 2020 02:45:51 +0000 //www.xhxwh.com/press-release/30781/

April 6, 2020, Ningbo, China. In view of the improved situation in the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic in China’s interior, it is time to accelerate the restoration of order in the everyday life of the population and to resume work processes for the production of essential goods. As a leader in plastic injection molding machinery, Haitian International assumes social responsibility for its employees, society and its suppliers, while strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Even after resuming production, Haitian International strictly adheres to the principle of “complete prevention and control”. For example, we dynamically check the health status of the employees, strictly control the personnel when entering or leaving the factory, and eliminate any hygiene weaknesses in public areas. Our canteens remain closed to avoid large crowds of people, but instead we rely on online offices to reduce the risks as much as possible.

Parallel to the implementation of all preventive measures, we have taken the reins of action. It is necessary to speed up the planning of work resumption and production in the supporting industries, to keep production stable overall and to optimize the annual production plan. Both the delivery of ordered products and the production of urgently needed materials for epidemic containment must be fully guaranteed. One of the priority objectives is to minimize the impact of the epidemic and to create a basis to take advantage of market opportunities once the epidemic has subsided.

More than 4,000 units delivered in one month

Since the resumption of work on February 10, Haitian International has given priority to supporting the production of the materials needed in the front line of epidemic prevention work. In the course of this, we organize preferentially the production and shipment of important materials and products, such as respirators, temperature thermometers, protective goggles, disinfectants, and fast food boxes. The production line of the company is working at full capacity. All employees work overtime to meet the required workload.

In March, the subsidiary Haitian Plastics Machinery delivered more than 4,000 machines and received orders of nearly 5,000 machines. In times like these, this is a result that gives courage.

Actively leading the way as a production driver

As a leading company in the field of injection molding machines, Haitian International has been confronted with various challenges within the industrial process chain since resuming operations, for example in interregional logistics or due to the insufficient supply of supporting products.

In order to advance and guarantee production, we support the companies of the upstream and downstream market sectors in resuming their work and production. For example, we have established an integrated mode for epidemic prevention and industrial cooperation. At the same time, Haitian International supports the city and district governments in the context of priority assessments on the part of industrial suppliers and process partners.

Since the processing industry is at high risk of infection due to the number of non-local employees, Haitian International has taken the initiative and is financing the nucleic acid test for personnel returning to Ningbo. The smooth implementation of the epidemic prevention work is thus also guaranteed in the supporting companies.

In order to alleviate the current high financial pressure of the supporting companies, Haitian International also made advance payments for the purchase of raw materials in order to support their way back to normal production strength.

Haitian International will continue to keep the safety and well-being of customers, employees and suppliers as our top priority as we follow the path to normal operations.

Annual Report 2019: Over 9.8 billion RMB sales and record high of export sales //www.xhxwh.com/en/press-release/annual-report-2019-over-9-8-billion-rmb-sales-and-record-high-of-export-sales/ Thu, 19 Mar 2020 02:26:01 +0000 //www.xhxwh.com/?post_type=press-release&p=30132

More than 9.8 billion RMB sales in fiscal 2019 +++ Good results amidst the weakest global economic growth in ten years +++ Record high of export salesDelivery of over 32,000 machines to customers +++ 2020 Management innovation year

March 16, 2020 – Hong Kong. Haitian International Holdings Ltd (“the Company”), one of the world’s largest manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, announces its annual results as at 31.12.2019.

Global economy and business performance

Under the impact of trade conflicts between the major economies, 2019 was the most difficult year for the global economy since the financial crisis of 2008. Nevertheless, amid the lowest growth of the global economy in the last decade, Haitian Group’s revenues still recorded RMB 9,809.7 million for 2019, a decrease of 9.6% compared to 2018. Although decreased by 6.5% as compared to 2018, the total number of machines delivered to customers in 2019 maintained an impressive level of above 32,000 units.

With regard to overseas markets, the increased international trade protectionism has led to a decline in sales in some regions. However, sales in the Southeast Asian market increased, which in turn led to a record high of export sales of RMB 3,447.7 million in 2019, representing an increase of 2.9% as compared to previous year. The share of export products in total sales has continued to increase, which, as Haitian International considers, confirms as one of its long-term strategies.

Location advantages through globalization

The outbreak of the current coronavirus in early 2020 not only had a negative impact on the global economy, but also cast a shadow over the recovering global economies. However, as Haitian International has been working on globalization for years, our overseas operations centers have developed full business functions, such as manufacturing and distribution, to meet the needs of our local and regional customers.

Digitalization and innovation

2020 will be the year of management innovation at Haitian International. With its main focus on smart manufacturing, the Haitian International factories will accelerate the transformation into a digitized, networked and intelligent enterprise. Last year, Haitian International was added to the list of digitized workshops and smart factories in Zhejiang Province.

At the same time, we have also stepped up our research and development efforts for new products and further researched the overseas market based on “5 centers” such as production, sales, etc.

Mr. Zhang Bin, Executive Director of Haitian International added, “under the premise of continuously shaping technologies and with proven strategy of technology to the point, we will meet the demand of our customers from any niche market and will continue to create added value for our customers by providing better quality and convenient services. We strive to grow and develop together with customers, employees and business partners”.

NEW WAYS IN PLASTIFICATION – HAITIAN STARTS R&D PROJECT WITH IKV //www.xhxwh.com/en/press-release/%e6%8e%a2%e5%af%bb%e5%a1%91%e5%8c%96%e5%8d%95%e5%85%83%e7%9a%84%e5%85%a8%e6%96%b0%e8%a7%a3%e5%86%b3%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e6%b5%b7%e5%a4%a9%e6%90%ba%e6%89%8bikv%e5%bc%80%e5%b1%95/ Sat, 19 Oct 2019 13:01:10 +0000 //www.xhxwh.com/press-release/%e6%8e%a2%e5%af%bb%e5%a1%91%e5%8c%96%e5%8d%95%e5%85%83%e7%9a%84%e5%85%a8%e6%96%b0%e8%a7%a3%e5%86%b3%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e6%b5%b7%e5%a4%a9%e6%90%ba%e6%89%8bikv%e5%bc%80%e5%b1%95/

+++ Haitian International and the IKV – Institute for Plastics Processing in Aachen, Germany, have agreed, to develop alternative possibilities for the plastification unit as part of a joint project and to look for completely new approaches. The primary goals are new application fields, energy and material savings. The project started in August 2019 +++

Duesseldorf – Haitian International, one of the world’s leading companies in research and development as well as in the production of modern injection molding technology, has initiated an exciting research project together with the IKV – Institute for Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft at RWTH Aachen University to “rethink” the topic of plasticizing.

The IKV stands for scientific and practice-oriented research and is a European leader in the field of plastics technology. Around 300 employees, including 80 scientists and 180 student assistants, develop new solutions for the plastics technology of the future based on a holistic approach. 
Prof. Helmar Franz, Director of Haitian International, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Hopmann, head of the IKV, have initiated the promising research project and are continuously involved.

In the eyes of both initiators, plasticizing has enormous development potential. On the one hand, material preparation has a considerable influence on part quality (keyword homogeneity); on the other hand, it represents one of the most complex mechanical components (keyword resource saving). “Depending on the application, about 50% of the total energy consumption in injection molding is in the plasticizing process, sometimes significantly more,” says Dipl.-Ing. Gao, project manager and deputy director of R&D department at Haitian International.

The main objectives of the joint R&D project are therefore to save energy costs and resources in plasticizing, to improve the processability of existing and new plastics, to simplify the processability of compounds or to make it possible in the first place, and thus to open up completely new areas of application for injection molding technology.

Therefore, it is not only about optimization, but also about the development of completely new concepts. “From our point of view, this is absolutely necessary in order to supplement or perhaps even completely replace the screw plasticizing process that has been in existence for more than 60 years. This is a high requirement and we will see what comes out of it, but we all together, Haitian International and IKV, are of the opinion that it is high time to try this,” says Prof. Franz, and continues: “We see the IKV as the best possible partner worldwide to decisively advance the future topic of plasticizing. We are particularly pleased that Prof. Dr. Hopmann could be won over and enthused for this project”.

The tasks are clearly distributed, the project work is carried out in three stages. After the IKV team under the project management of Dr.-Ing. Malte Röbig Malte Röbel, head of department injection molding, initially concentrates on the analysis and conclusions, the joint concept and design phase follows. In the realisation phase with prototypes and tests, the R&D team of Haitian International is again in greater demand.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Hopmann, Head of the Institute for Plastics Processing: “For us, the project is an exciting challenge to contribute to the improvement of fundamental principles of injection molding technology. We are looking forward to a creative collaboration with the engineers of Haitian International and are highly motivated to develop innovative approaches”.

THE NEW TECHNOLOGY GENERATION 3:
 ELECTRIC OPPORTUNITIES IN A NEW DIMENSION //www.xhxwh.com/en/press-release/%e5%85%a8%e6%96%b0%e7%ac%ac%e4%b8%89%e4%bb%a3%e6%8a%80%e6%9c%af%ef%bc%9a-%e7%94%b5%e5%8a%a8%e6%b3%a8%e5%b0%84%e6%88%90%e5%9e%8b%e6%8a%80%e6%9c%af%e6%8b%93%e5%b1%95%e6%96%b0%e7%bb%b4%e5%ba%a6-2/ Sat, 19 Oct 2019 11:52:32 +0000 //www.xhxwh.com/press-release/%e5%85%a8%e6%96%b0%e7%ac%ac%e4%b8%89%e4%bb%a3%e6%8a%80%e6%9c%af%ef%bc%9a-%e7%94%b5%e5%8a%a8%e6%b3%a8%e5%b0%84%e6%88%90%e5%9e%8b%e6%8a%80%e6%9c%af%e6%8b%93%e5%b1%95%e6%96%b0%e7%bb%b4%e5%ba%a6-2/

+++ With the 3rd technology generation, the strongest Zhafir family of all time enters the market with clamping forces from 400 to 33,000 kN and pinpoint solutions from all-electric to hybrid. Highly precise, energy-saving and attractively priced. From dynamic high-speed machines to the new, big – and yet affordable – electric injection unit +++

The latest technology generation of the premium brand Zhafir offers beneficial updates as well as new developments in hardware and software. Optimized drives and an open integration strategy for robotics and automation increase the scope for investments and in production. Ongoing improvements and the consistent development of standard components such as motors result in higher performance but also higher overall resource savings.

The all-electric Venus Series in the 3rd generation of Zhafir again provides the basic technology for all other electric Zhafir Series machines. The highly flexible Zeres Series – which already addresses the widest range of applications due to its integrated hydraulics for core pull applications – has also been extended by specifically designed solutions for fast processes or multi-component tasks.

One of Zhafir’s new developments is the intelligent combination of hardware and software. A very innovative example is provided by the electric injection unit with its 4-spindle principle. “Here you can see the perfect symbiosis of software and hardware,” says Mr. Zhang Bin, CEO of Zhafir Plastics Machinery. “The challenge was the exact synchronization of all four spindles. This is only possible with extremely powerful, reliable but also flexible components that are controlled by an intelligent control center.”

OPEN INTEGRATION WITH CONNECTIVITY PLUS AND MOTION PLUS

The 3rd technology generation is no longer just a hardware update. Rather, it is a system platform with intelligent and extremely fast adaptive software.

Our in-house developed software solutions offer the processor very high flexibility in the process optimization of all axes. Based on the OPC-Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) standards (for platform, system architecture, communication and data transfer), they enable extremely open integration and connectivity with all common interfaces and seamless connection of industrial automation or any MES system.

CONNECTIVITY PLUS
  • Versatile communication interfaces and device integration functions
  • Interoperability protocols and information models for coordinating the injection molding machine with peripheral equipment and automation cell
  • Business to Machine – integration into vertical management systems
  • OPC Unified Architecture – interoperability as standard for secure and reliable data exchange in the field of industrial automation
  • Enhanced data compatibility with the ability to transform heterogeneous data from edge computers

Mr. Fu Nanhong, Chief Engineer of Haitian International, explains: “We provide the customer an intelligent machine system that is open to all possibilities while leaving him free choice of integration partners”. This allows the highly standardized Zhafir machines to be integrated into automated processes, cells and production lines as required – maximum flexibility with the best possible productivity.

MOTION PLUS

Motion Plus is the bundling of already established and new developments for intelligent motion control. “This may not sound spectacular at first, but given the enormous manufacturing power and service capacities, this technological advance is taking on new significance,” says Mr. Fu Nanhong. “Motion Plus combines hardware and software into a high-performance symbiosis.”

OUR EXHIBITS AT K2019

Even though the technological advance in the Zhafir Series is not not excessively big – the Zhafir Series has been continuously developed – the electric technology in Generation 3 presents itself even more customer-oriented thanks to an optimized toggle design and new injection unit – especially in the upper clamping force segment.

Prototype of the new electric Zhafir injection unit

A very innovative example is the new electric injection unit with 4-spindle principle. “Here you can see the perfect interaction of software and hardware,” says Mr. Fu Nanhong. “The challenge was to exactly synchronize the software and hardware for all four spindles. The multi-axis control technology is based on servo torque direct drives. This is only possible with extremely powerful, reliable, but also flexible components that are controlled by an intelligent control center.”

Clean, electrical solution for Medical: Zhafir Venus III Series

All-electric dynamic with highest precision and up to 70 % energy savings. A VE1200III-300 produces a medical part made of PP under a laminar flow box from Max Petek.

Dynamic solution for packaging: Zhafir Zeres F Series

Electric solution with integrated hydraulic drive. The 3rd generation ZE2300F-830 produces a 4-cavity lid with in-mold labeling (IML), both made of PP, in a Sepro Robotique production cell.

Outlook

“Efficient and smart manufacturing processes and high-volume production make customized components a cost-efficient standard,” says Mr. Fu Nanhong. “We could also call it tailor-made standardization. This opens up completely new perspectives for the entire company. “Customized drives, intelligent software and the unique manufacturing power in the Haitian Group allow us to think even larger in terms of electric drives and to further expand the still attractively priced range of electric concepts – Especially large clamping forces and, above all, large and affordable injection units.

Half year balance 2019: Record cash flow confirms portfolio strategy and internal structural reform //www.xhxwh.com/en/press-release/half-year-balance-2019/ Mon, 16 Sep 2019 15:14:48 +0000 //www.xhxwh.com/press-release/half-year-balance-2019/

Profound reforms and increased flexibility pay off +++ More than 50 billion RMB sales in the first half of 2019 +++ Record cash flow from operating activities +++ The sales of electric series out of small machines and two-platen machines out of big machines continued to grow

August 26, 2019, Hong Kong. Haitian International Holdings Limited (“Haitian International”, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates referred to as “the Group”; share code: 1882), one of the world’s largest manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, announces its (unaudited) interim results for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2019.

Reforms and flexibility

Mr. Zhang Bin, Executive Director of Haitian International, said: “The market environment continues to be difficult, but we see this as an opportunity. The cash flow record in the operating business shows that profound internal operative reforms and their activities to increase flexibility and productivity are now working. The targeted investments of the previous years in flexibility and modernization of the plants are also effective. “Many individual activities have also led to improved efficiency, such as flexible working hours and innovative multiple shift operation, flexible contracts with suppliers, our 16+8 principle and much more. In such a difficult economic situation, the company was able to react extremely flexibly and achieved a continuous further development with high added value despite the difficult market environment. “

Global trade conflicts and increased trade protectionism led to a slowdown of global economic growth, so that Group sales in the reporting period amounted to RMB 5,008.9 million. This corresponds to a decrease of 14.8 % compared to the same period of the preceding year. In view of the current market data, e.g. from Europe, the USA or Japan, the industry recorded significantly higher sales losses in international comparison, so that it can be assumed that Haitian International will gain slight market shares overall.

Domestic sales of Haitian International decreased by 20.5 % to RMB 3,320.2 million due to the slowdown in global economic growth and the lack of customers confidence in to invest in new machinery. Trade protectionism and the devaluation of certain currencies have led to a decline in sales in most of the Group’s overseas markets. The export turnover of RMB 1,546.5 million corresponds to a decrease of 2.1%.

Sales development of the series

The slowdown in domestic economic growth and the changed economic environment have also had a significant impact on the sales figures of the Haitian Mars Series. In the first half of 2019, sales fell by 18.9 % to RMB 3171.5 million. Nevertheless, the servo-hydraulic bestseller remains the world’s most successful injection molding machine.

The differentiated product strategy – electric machines in the small and medium-sized sector, two-platen machines in the medium and large sector – continues to enjoy growing acceptance among plastics processors. Improved technologies and higher-quality machines are increasingly in demand on the market, with the result that electrical solutions are increasingly replacing hydraulic ones. This partly explains the declining sales figures for the Mars Series.

The absolute turnover of the electric Zhafir Series rose by 13.6 % to 773.1 million RMB. Sales of Zhafir electric machines out of the small tonnage injection molding machines continued to grow and amounted to 22.5 %.

Meanwhile, the share of JU machines sold from medium and large clamping force classes rose to 44.1 %.

Years of management innovation

Haitian International will continue to pursue internal reforms to improve efficiency. For example, the introduction of new management software platforms and the increased development of younger and focused management teams, as well as the switch to digitized operative factory management. The years 2019 and 2020 were seen internally as milestones of management innovation.

Mr. Zhang Bin: “Haitian International will continue to create added value for its customers, with better quality and convenient services, in order to grow and develop together with customers, employees and business partners”.

At K 2019
The 3rd technology generation: New solutions to the point

Haitian International presents the next generation of technology at K Show 2019 +++ New technologies, components and performance versions +++ New modularity through hybrid solutions +++ Open integration for more flexibility +++ Further optimization for industry-specific applications

 

Following the proven strategy “Technology to the Point”, the 3rd technology generation from Haitian International combines innovative new developments in hardware and software with beneficial optimization of machine models – both in the servo-hydraulic top sellers from Haitian and in the electric pioneer series from the Zhafir brand. The 3rd technology generation delivers even more efficiency, productivity and new “solutions to the point”. The versatility of the electric product range has been greatly expanded, and the performance of the servo-hydraulic two-platen machines has been significantly increased. Optimized drives and an open integration strategy for robotics and automation increase the scope for investment and flexibility in production. Ongoing improvements and the consistent improvement of standard components such as motors result in higher performance but also higher overall resource savings.

Worldwide, standard plastics with a theoretically high recycling rate are predominantly used in over 80% of standard applications. Haitian International’s success strategy is to build injection molding machines for precisely these standard applications and to continuously optimise them with regard to standard components. Technologies to the point support the resource and energy-saving use of raw materials to produce recyclable plastic parts. At the same time, we have worked intensely to make electrical technologies affordable, because responsible mechanical engineering undoubtedly requires energy-efficient concepts. Electrical solutions under the Zhafir brand are now among the top 3 worldwide in sales; they are per se energy-efficient and sustainable.
