Crankshafts and front axle beams
We have a proud tradition of manufacturing die-forged products since the founding of us. Our production facilities include the largest mechanical press in the world, our 16,000-ton high-speed forging press line, a 10,000-ton high-speed forging press line, a 6,500-ton high-speed automatic forging press line, a 5,000-ton high-speed automatic forging press line, and a 35-ton-meter hammer line, a 50-ton-meter hammer line. We use these facilities to manufacture approximately 4 million crankshafts annually. The proprietary manufacturing technologies that we have established are also highly evaluated by our many customers.
