Ningbo Heli Technology Co., Ltd.
Ningbo Heli Technology Co., Ltd. is a nationally recognized high-end precision mold and component manufacturer and a champion in the manufacturing industry. As the first Chinese listed company specializing in die-casting, foundry, and hot stamping molds, Heli is dedicated to becoming a trusted partner in the field of new energy and lightweight solutions.
With total assets exceeding RMB 2 billion and an annual revenue of RMB 1 billion, the company operates through three core divisions: Mold, Aluminum Alloy Components, and Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems.
Mold Division
As China's largest production base for cast molds, this division specializes in high-pressure die-casting (HPDC), low-pressure die-casting (LPDC), gravity die-casting (GDC), and hot stamping dies. Heli is a strategic supplier to global giants like NEMAK, MAGNA, and KPSNC, with its molds used in vehicles from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and BYD.
Core Capabilities:
Production Capacity: Over 700 sets annually (25% for export), including mega dies for 9000T clamping force and dies weighing over 150 tons.
R&D: A dedicated team of 80+ experts, including professors and PhDs, collaborates with top universities (e.g., Shanghai Jiao Tong University) on lightweighting technologies. The company holds over 30 patents and invests RMB 20 million annually in R&D.
Facilities: Equipped with 75 precision machines (DMG MORI, GROB) and a 3,500 m² constant-temperature workshop, utilizing a digitalized PLM/MES system for high-precision manufacturing.
Aluminum Alloy Components Division
This division masters multi-process precision casting (HPDC, LPDC, GDC, and 3D printing) to produce complex, high-performance aluminum components.
Core Capabilities:
Products: Specializes in new energy vehicle (NEV) powertrain components (motor housings, battery trays), body structural parts (shock towers, subframes), and traditional powertrain parts.
Material Innovation: Developed proprietary heat-treatment-free aluminum alloys with high elongation and thermal conductivity, such as the patented HL-111 and the high-thermal-conductivity HL-211.
Facilities: Operates 25 high-pressure die-casting units (400T to 4400T from Bühler and Italpresse), along with advanced low-pressure and gravity casting lines and automated machining centers.
Braking Systems Division
Recognized as a National "Little Giant" Enterprise, this division focuses on commercial vehicle braking systems and industrial parts.
Core Capabilities:
Products: Produces automatic slack adjusters (ASA), air disc brakes (ADB), and air brake chambers for buses and trucks, supplying major OEMs like BYD, Yutong, and King Long.
Strategic Partnership: Collaborates with Japan's Nabtesco to develop and manufacture new energy functional parts, including electric air compressors (EAC).
Future Technology: Through its partnership, Heli is involved in the world's first heavy-duty commercial vehicle steer-by-wire (SBW) system for L5 autonomous driving.
Key Facts & Global Footprint
Locations: Manufacturing and R&D centers in Xiangshan (Ningbo) and Nanjing, with a global customer base.
Quality & Certifications: IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and CNAS-certified laboratories.
Vision: To drive industry leadership in Mega Casting, Lightweighting, and Sustainable Development.
