The automotive die-casting industry chain has experienced a significant turning point. This transformation began in July 2019, when Tesla introduced a patent for integrated die-casting. Subsequently, in September 2020, it was announced that its Model Y would adopt this innovative integrated die-casting process for the manufacture of the rear floor. These series of measures not only led the innovation and layout adjustment of the die-casting industry chain, but also attracted numerous industry participants to actively join, creating a prosperous scene of a hundred schools of thought contending. At the level of technological research and development, from ultra-large tonnage die-casting machines, heat treatment-free alloy materials to complex mold design, higher requirements have been placed on the investment in research and development equipment.
Ningbo Elite Mould Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Ningbo Elite), as a veteran die-casting mold manufacturing enterprise established in 1984, is well aware that its profound accumulation and continuous innovation over the past 40 years are the solid foundation for maintaining its leading position in the die-casting mold industry. The company's development is closely linked to changes in the industrial chain. As early as 2018, it underwent a forward-looking transformation and successfully undertook multiple mold projects for new energy, electric vehicle, and structural components in the following years.
Following the introduction of integrated die-casting technology in 2019, Ningbo Elite responded swiftly by successively equipping itself with advanced equipment such as large gantry five-axis machining centers and 1000T mold clamping machines, and increasing its investment in related technology research and development. Currently, the company focuses on the research, development, and manufacturing of high-pressure die-casting molds ranging from 1600T to 16000T. Sales of molds for new energy and structural components account for over 70% of the company's total sales.
As one of the members involved in the formulation of the national standard for high-pressure die-casting molds in China, Ningbo Elite has always been committed to promoting the establishment and improvement of industry standards. The company maintains close synchronous development cooperation with mainstream OEMs in Europe and China. This early participation enables it to better collaborate with OEMs and first-tier die-casting suppliers, integrating the concept of combining die-casting molds and product design into every mold project, thereby ensuring that customers receive optimized die-casting mold solutions.
It is reported that at the upcoming "2024 Shanghai International Die Casting Exhibition" to be held from July 10th to 12th, 2024, Ningbo Elite will showcase its mature die-casting mold solutions. The company looks forward to discussing with colleagues from all walks of life how to achieve higher production efficiency and better product quality through innovative design and advanced technology. It is committed to providing customers with excellent services and solutions, creating value for them.
