DEPU CNC Breaks Ground on New $22M Smart Factory in Zhejiang, Boosting High-End CNC Production

Zhouwangmiao Town launched 21 key projects totaling $220 million (¥1.42B) in Q1 2025, with DEPU CNC's high-end 5-axis machining center production facility as the flagship initiative. The project represents a $24.8 million (¥160M) investment to establish an advanced manufacturing hub in Zhejiang Province.

Project Highlights

1. DEPU's Smart Manufacturing Base

• Annual Capacity: 120 units of 5-axis machining centers + core components
• Facility: 430,387 sq.ft (40,000 m²) smart factory with:

* Climate-controlled labs (±0.1°C)

* Precision testing zones (equipped with ZEISS CMM)

* Automated production lines (gantry mills & high-precision grinders)

2. Strategic Impact

By expanding local 5-axis CNC production capacity, the facility will simultaneously boost Zhouwangmiao’s manufacturing competitiveness and advance China’s “new quality productivity” goals in strategic sectors like aerospace structural components and electric vehicle drivetrain parts.

Ceremony Keynotes

Xu Min, Party Secretary of Zhouwangmiao:
"These projects accelerate our vision to become a $1.4B (¥10B) industrial hub, focusing on smart manufacturing and new materials."

Xu Xingwen, Chairman of DEPU CNC (Haining):
