Anhui ZOPO Intelligent Equipment, a national high-tech "little giant", reported revenue of 880 million yuan ($121 million) in the first eight months, up 36 percent year-on-year. "Demand from the new energy vehicle and liquid cooling sectors continues to drive orders," said Mao Jian, a production line supervisor. A three-time China Machinery Top 500 company, ZOPO owns 123 intellectual property rights, including 42 invention patents.

Anhui Riji Welding Equipment, founded in 2011, is a provincial specialized enterprise. Its spot welders supply BYD, Geely and Seres, with over a domestic market share of over 11 percent in 2025. "Our new fully enclosed spot welder was named a 2026 Anhui new product," said Ye Xiangxiang, deputy general manager. The product is expected to generate an additional 65 million yuan in annual sales.

Mount Huangshan Delibao Precision Manufacturing produces protective covers and chip conveyors for CNC machine tools. General Manager Ke Jinshun said output value reached 40.26 million yuan in the first eight months, up 36.5 percent, and is expected to exceed 60 million yuan for the full year. A project to produce 5,000 machine tool accessories annually is set to launch by the end of 2027, potentially lifting annual output to 200 million yuan.

Together, these companies reflect Huizhou district's push into advanced manufacturing through innovation, specialization and supply chain coordination.
