Date: 2026-09-22View: 2

On September 11, 2026, an SQE and Welding Engineer from ABB Finland visited Hehua Machinery Technology (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. for an on-site inspection of key parts supplied by Hehua to Finland.

The visit focused on the inspection of relevant products and the review of associated technical and quality documents. During the visit, ABB’s representatives provided important instructions and feedback regarding the products and documentation, giving Hehua a clearer understanding of the requirements for continued cooperation and international supply.

For Hehua, this type of on-site inspection is an important part of maintaining consistent manufacturing standards. It is also a practical opportunity to review production details directly with an international customer’s quality and welding specialists.

On-Site Inspection of Key Metal Parts

As a manufacturer of key metal parts and components for high-end equipment, Hehua works with customers whose products often have specific requirements for dimensions, materials, welding, surface quality, documentation, and process control.

The key parts supplied to ABB Finland are therefore not treated simply as standard fabricated products. Their manufacturing and inspection need to follow the technical requirements defined for the application and the customer's quality expectations.

During the September 11 visit, ABB Finland’s SQE and Welding Engineer carried out an on-site inspection of relevant parts supplied by Hehua. The inspection provided an opportunity to examine the actual manufacturing results and discuss technical details directly with the Hehua team.

In addition to the products themselves, the related documentation was also reviewed.

For customized metal manufacturing, product quality and documentation are closely connected. Inspection records, manufacturing information, welding-related documents, and other technical files can provide important evidence that production has been carried out according to the required process.

The feedback provided during the visit was therefore not limited to the physical products. ABB’s representatives also gave important instructions concerning the relevant documents and product requirements.

International Standards Are Part of Daily Manufacturing

Hehua has always maintained high international standards in its approach to manufacturing.

For the company, internationalization is not simply about serving overseas customers. It also means applying consistent requirements to production, welding, quality control, project management, and documentation.

This approach has become increasingly important as competition in the manufacturing industry continues to intensify.

The market is becoming more competitive, but Hehua does not lower its requirements in response to competition.

Instead, the company continues to focus on manufacturing fundamentals: meeting technical specifications, controlling production processes, maintaining welding quality, improving documentation, and responding to customer requirements in a timely manner.

The visit from ABB Finland is one example of how these requirements are put into practice through direct communication and on-site verification.

Welding Capability Supported by Qualified Systems

Welding is an important part of many of Hehua’s customized metal manufacturing projects. The company has obtained EN 15085 certification for the welding of rail vehicles and components, while its welders have obtained EN ISO 9606-1 qualifications.

These capabilities are supported by the company’s broader quality management system.

Hehua has passed ISO 9001 quality management system certification as well as IATF 16949 automotive quality system certification. The company’s experience across different industries has required it to manage varying requirements for manufacturing processes, quality inspection, traceability, and project documentation.

For customers with strict welding requirements, having qualified personnel and established welding management processes provides a foundation for consistent production.

The involvement of an ABB Welding Engineer during the September 11 visit also made the technical exchange more specific. Instead of relying only on general communication, welding-related requirements could be discussed directly between engineering personnel.

This type of communication helps identify details that may need to be clarified or improved during actual project execution.

Manufacturing Experience Across Multiple Industries

Shanghai Hehua Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2005, and its subsidiary, Hehua Machinery Technology (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., was established in 2018.

Today, Hehua specializes in key metal parts and components for automotive, rail transit, aerospace, wind power, nuclear power, industrial machinery, semiconductor sealing and testing equipment, new energy equipment, and other high-end equipment manufacturing applications.

This broad industry experience has helped the company develop manufacturing capabilities that can be adapted to different customer requirements.

Hehua operates a plant of more than 17,800 square meters at No. 66, Xingpu Road, Lujia Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, with more than 160 employees.

The company’s manufacturing services cover projects from design and development through production. Its professional project technical team can participate in the early stages of a project and coordinate technical requirements with subsequent manufacturing processes.

This is particularly important for customized components, where the final manufacturing result can depend on details established during the design and development stage.

Connecting Production With Project Management

Hehua manages its overall business and production processes through the Zhibang International ERP intelligent management system.

The system covers sales, customers, projects, production, inventory, procurement, human resources, finance, and office operations.

For international manufacturing projects, this integrated approach helps connect customer requirements with internal production activities.

A customer requirement received by the sales or project team may eventually involve technical review, material procurement, production planning, manufacturing, inspection, documentation, and delivery. Keeping these processes connected helps reduce information gaps between different departments.

For customers such as ABB, where product requirements and documentation requirements both matter, project management and manufacturing cannot be treated as separate processes.

The September 11 inspection provided an opportunity to review these aspects directly and receive customer feedback at the production site.

Supporting International Customers From Production to Export

Hehua also has experience supporting international customers through the export process.

Both Shanghai Hehua Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. and Hehua Machinery Technology (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. have independent import and export rights. The companies can provide customers with end-to-end services covering production and export.

This capability allows Hehua to work with customers beyond the factory floor.

For international procurement teams, supplier selection involves more than manufacturing capacity. Communication, documentation, quality management, production coordination, and export arrangements can all affect the efficiency of a project.

Hehua's ability to connect these activities within one service process provides a practical foundation for long-term international cooperation.

Competition Is Increasing, Standards Should Not Fall

The manufacturing market is becoming increasingly competitive. Customers have more options when selecting suppliers, while requirements for quality, delivery, technical support, and documentation continue to increase.

Hehua's response is not to reduce manufacturing requirements in order to compete.

The company continues to hold itself to international standards and uses customer feedback as a practical reference for improving its manufacturing processes.

The ABB Finland visit on September 11 demonstrated this approach clearly. The SQE and Welding Engineer came to the factory not only to inspect key parts, but also to review relevant product and document requirements and provide important instructions.

For Hehua, these details matter.

A supplier's long-term competitiveness is built through the ability to consistently meet customer requirements, identify problems during production, respond to technical feedback, and maintain stable quality across projects.

Continuing to Improve Through Customer Feedback

Every on-site inspection provides an opportunity to compare actual manufacturing practices with customer expectations.

Hehua will continue to review the feedback received during the ABB Finland visit and apply relevant requirements to future production and documentation work.

With more than 20 years of manufacturing experience since 2005, a production base of more than 17,800 square meters, and a team of more than 160 employees, Hehua continues to develop its capabilities in customized metal manufacturing for high-end equipment industries.

The company’s vision is to become a benchmark in the metal manufacturing industry, while its mission is to create greater value for customers and provide a broader platform for employees.

As international competition continues to increase, Hehua will maintain its focus on quality and customer requirements.

Competition is becoming more intense, but Hehua does not step back from its standards.

Through continuous manufacturing improvement, qualified welding capabilities, structured project management, and direct communication with international customers, Hehua continues to build its ability to provide reliable customized metal parts and components for global equipment manufacturers.

Wherever customized manufacturing is needed, Hehua is there.
