More importantly, it allowed the company to understand the current needs of intelligent connected vehicles and new energy vehicle supply chains through direct communication with industry participants.

As intelligent vehicles continue to incorporate more electronic systems, power systems, structural components, and specialized equipment, the requirements for supporting metal parts are also becoming more specific. Customized sheet metal parts, welded structures, precision components, equipment racks, and other metal assemblies can all play a role in vehicle manufacturing and related production equipment.

During the exhibition, Hehua focused on communicating its experience in these areas and discussing how its existing manufacturing capabilities could support customers with customized metal component requirements.

Connecting Automotive Manufacturing Experience with New Energy Applications

Automotive manufacturing has long been one of Hehua's core application areas. The company also provides key metal parts and components for new energy equipment and other high-end equipment manufacturing sectors.

This experience gives Hehua a practical understanding of the manufacturing requirements associated with automotive and new energy applications. Components used in these industries often need to meet defined dimensional, structural, material, welding, and quality requirements while maintaining stable production performance.

At the exhibition, Hehua was able to communicate with industry participants about these practical manufacturing requirements. The discussions covered areas such as component development, manufacturing feasibility, production processes, welding, quality management, and project coordination.

For customers looking for a metal component manufacturing partner, the ability to connect engineering requirements with actual production is important. Hehua's project technical team can provide services from design and development through manufacturing, allowing customer requirements to be reviewed before production and transferred into an organized manufacturing process.

Manufacturing Capabilities for Customized Metal Components

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

This range of applications has enabled the company to build experience in different types of manufacturing requirements. Depending on the project, customers may require sheet metal fabrication, welded structural components, customized equipment racks, or other metal parts that need to be manufactured according to specific drawings and technical specifications.

The company's manufacturing facility covers more than 17,800 square meters and is located at No. 66, Xingpu Road, Lujia Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. With more than 160 employees, Hehua has established production and project teams to support customer projects.

During the three-day exhibition, the Hehua team used direct communication with industry participants to better understand the types of components and manufacturing services currently required by the intelligent connected and new energy vehicle sectors.

This type of communication is useful for identifying where existing manufacturing capabilities can be applied and where further technical development may be required.

Welding and Quality Management Remain Important

As the automotive and new energy industries continue to develop, metal structures and welded components remain important in many production and equipment applications.

Hehua has developed professional welding capabilities through long-term manufacturing experience. The company has obtained EN 15085 rail vehicle and parts welding system certification, and its welders have obtained EN ISO 9606-1 qualification certification.

The company has also passed ISO 9001 quality management system certification and IATF 16949 automotive quality system certification.

These systems provide a foundation for managing production quality and process requirements. For customers in the automotive and new energy sectors, supplier quality management is an important part of component procurement, especially when products are customized and need to follow customer-specific drawings and specifications.

The exhibition provided Hehua with another opportunity to communicate these capabilities directly with industry visitors and understand the quality and manufacturing requirements that customers are currently focusing on.

Supporting Projects from Engineering Development to Production

A major part of Hehua's service capability is its project technical team. The team can provide support from design and development through manufacturing, helping connect engineering requirements with production execution.

For customized components, early technical communication can make a significant difference. Before production begins, drawings, materials, dimensions, welding requirements, inspection standards, and other project conditions need to be reviewed carefully.

Hehua's approach is to manage these requirements as part of an overall project process rather than treating individual production steps separately.

The company uses the Zhibang International ERP intelligent management system to manage its business and production processes. The system covers sales, customers, projects, production, inventory, procurement, human resources, finance, and office operations.

This provides a structured basis for coordinating project information across different departments. For customers with multiple components or ongoing production requirements, organized project management can help improve communication between engineering, procurement, production, and quality teams.

An Opportunity to Understand the Intelligent Vehicle Supply Chain

The intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry is not limited to vehicle manufacturers themselves. It also includes battery-related equipment, production lines, testing equipment, electronic systems, structural components, automation equipment, and numerous supporting suppliers.

For a metal component manufacturer, understanding this broader supply chain is important. Different equipment manufacturers may require different structures, materials, processing methods, and quality standards.

By participating in the 16th International Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle and Ecosystem Chain Expo, Hehua had the opportunity to communicate with companies across this wider ecosystem.

The three-day event from August 12 to 14 provided a concentrated environment for these discussions. Instead of relying only on market information, the Hehua team could hear directly from industry participants about their current project requirements and potential areas for cooperation.

These conversations can help the company better understand future demand for metal parts and components and identify suitable applications for its manufacturing capabilities.

From Industry Communication to Potential Cooperation

Participation in the exhibition is also part of Hehua's ongoing effort to develop relationships with customers and partners in the automotive and new energy sectors.

Shanghai Hehua Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2005, and its subsidiary Hehua Machinery Technology (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. was established in 2018. Both companies have independent import and export rights and can provide customers with services covering production and export.

With manufacturing experience accumulated over many years, Hehua has established a customer base across multiple high-end equipment industries. The company continues to develop its capabilities while maintaining a focus on practical manufacturing requirements.

For potential customers, cooperation with a metal component manufacturer often begins with a technical discussion.
