The exhibition will take place from July 1 to 4, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Hongqiao, Shanghai). Co-hosted by the China Mould Industry Association and Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co., Ltd., this premier event gathers top-tier enterprises and cutting-edge technologies in global mould manufacturing, precision processing and lightweight forming sectors, serving as a core industry platform for new product launches, resource docking and technical exchanges. As a leading domestic enterprise in high-end precision mould and component manufacturing and a national manufacturing single champion, Ningbo Heli Technology Co., Ltd. will make a grand appearance at the exhibition with its full lineup of core mould products, lightweight forming solutions and innovative component technologies, fully demonstrating its robust strengths in high-end mould R&D, intelligent manufacturing and new energy lightweight applications.
As China’s first listed enterprise focusing on die-casting, casting and hot stamping moulds, Heli Technology boasts in-depth expertise in precision mould manufacturing and has long cultivated the diversified forming mould technology track. The company has established a full-category R&D and production system covering die casting dies, low-pressure die casting moulds, gravity die casting moulds and hot stamping dies. It also excels in the customized precision development and integrated manufacturing of molding line patterns and core boxes. Ranking among the industry’s best in product precision, stability and intelligence, Heli Technology has become a core strategic supplier for global complete vehicle and high-end component manufacturers.
In the core mould sector, Heli Technology operates one of China’s large-scale leading production bases for casting moulds. Leveraging mature technological accumulation and an intelligent manufacturing system, the company mass-produces a full range of high-end forming moulds, with an annual output of over 700 sets of precision moulds, 25% of which are exported to overseas markets. It is capable of custom-developing and manufacturing super-large precision moulds with a clamping force of 9,000 tons and a weight of over 150 tons, breaking industry bottlenecks in the production of super-large and ultra-high-precision moulds. The company’s R&D team comprises more than 80 industry experts including professors and doctors, who focus on lightweight forming technology research. Through in-depth industry-university-research cooperation with top universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University and an annual R&D investment of 20 million RMB, Heli Technology holds over 30 core patents and continuously upgrades mould design and manufacturing processes. Its independently developed die casting dies are applicable to full-scene high-pressure die-casting production. Featuring high-precision cavity design and wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant material technology, these dies meet the high-speed mass production demands for complex structural parts of new energy vehicles. Low-pressure and gravity die casting moulds are tailored for the forming of aluminum alloy castings of diverse materials and structures, widely applied in the production of high-end products such as new energy vehicle power housings and chassis structural parts, with leading forming stability and finished product qualification rates in the industry. Hot stamping dies focus on automotive lightweight thermoforming processes, precisely matching the hot stamping requirements of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy for vehicle bodies, helping complete vehicles achieve weight reduction and efficiency improvement.
Furthermore, Heli Technology enjoys prominent advantages in mould supporting core components and production line modules. Its self-developed core boxes adopt an integrated precision forming process, featuring high dimensional accuracy and excellent high-temperature resistance. They perfectly adapt to the core forming needs of various die-casting and gravity casting moulds, effectively improving the internal cavity structural accuracy of castings and significantly reducing product defect rates. Customized molding line pattern modules enable precise docking between moulds and automated production lines, connecting the entire process of mould forming, casting demoulding and automated processing. This empowers customers to realize large-scale and intelligent efficient production, greatly boosting production efficiency and product consistency.
Backed by strong mould R&D and manufacturing capabilities, Heli Technology has built three core business segments: moulds, aluminum alloy components and commercial vehicle braking systems, with total assets exceeding 2 billion RMB and annual operating revenue reaching 1 billion RMB. In the aluminum alloy component sector, the company masters multi-process precision casting technologies including high-pressure, low-pressure and gravity die casting as well as 3D printing. It has independently developed patented new materials such as HL-111 heat-treatment-free aluminum alloy and HL-211 high-thermal-conductivity aluminum alloy, focusing on high-end products for new energy vehicles including powertrain assemblies, battery trays and chassis structural parts. In the braking system sector, as a national-level specialized, refined and innovative "Little Giant" enterprise, Heli Technology’s self-developed commercial vehicle braking components support mainstream automakers including BYD, Yutong and King Long. In cooperation with Nabtesco Corporation from Japan, the company deploys new energy functional components and L5-level autonomous driving steer-by-wire systems, seizing opportunities in the future intelligent mobility track.
On the production side, Heli Technology is equipped with 75 sets of world-class precision processing equipment from leading brands including DMG MORI and Grob, and operates a 3,500-square-meter constant-temperature precision processing workshop. Adopting PLM/MES digital management systems, the company realizes full-process digital management covering mould design, processing, inspection and mass production. It has also obtained IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 system certifications as well as CNAS laboratory certification, empowering global customers with stringent quality standards. At present, the company’s products support mainstream domestic and foreign automakers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and BYD, and serve global industry giants including NEMAK, Magna and KPSNC, with its global market layout continuously optimized and expanded.
At DIE & MOULD CHINA 2026, Heli Technology will showcase its full range of high-end mould products, lightweight new material solutions and intelligent forming technologies, fully presenting its innovative achievements in super-large die-casting moulds, precision hot stamping moulds and integrated intelligent forming line modules. Moving forward, Heli Technology will continue to focus on three core development directions: large-scale integrated casting, automotive lightweighting and green sustainable development. The company will keep deepening technological innovation in high-end moulds, optimizing its full-category product system including die casting dies, gravity die casting moulds and hot stamping dies, and iterating core technologies for low-pressure die casting moulds, molding line patterns and core boxes. Committed to becoming a trusted global partner in the new energy and lightweight industry, Heli Technology will lead the high-end, intelligent and international development of the mould industry.
