Wuhan Huazhong Numerical Control Co., Ltd.

What Wuhan Huazhong Numerical Control Co., Ltd. does

Wuhan Huazhong Numerical Control Co., Ltd. (HuazhongCNC, Stock Code 300161) is a Chinese publicly listed manufacturer founded in 1994 that designs and produces CNC controllers, servo drives, servo motors, industrial robots, robotic production lines, and intelligent manufacturing platforms. It is the first listed company in China's CNC system industry and operates more than 30 holding or shareholding subsidiaries and 9 R&D centers across multiple cities, serving automotive, aerospace, 3C electronics, die-cast mold, glass, and vocational education customers. Named end-customers include Changan Automobile, Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group, Jilin Jitong, internationally renowned mobile phone manufacturers (nearly 4,000 HNC-8 systems deployed for ceramic and metal 3C parts), and OEM partners such as Yudongyuan, Jiangxi Qitong, Tangxing Alloy, and Dingnan Senaite (the last with a 2.28 billion yuan investment in a 20 million-unit wheel hub plant).

The company's product portfolio spans the HNC-808 series (2-4 axis controllers for lathes, milling, grinding) through the HNC-818/HNC-848 mid- and high-end 4-32 axis controllers, the proprietary NCUC real-time Ethernet bus, and the AI-integrated HNC-9/iNC and HNC10 systems, complemented by HSV servo drives, GM/ST series AC servo and spindle motors, JR-series heavy-load industrial robots, collaborative robots (CR605), welding and palletizing robots, and the iNC-Cloud / Mist Butler software platform for remote monitoring and production line control. The HNC10 is positioned as the world's first CNC system to integrate both an AI chip and a large-scale AI model with autonomous perception, learning, decision-making, and execution capabilities.

HuazhongCNC generates revenue predominantly through direct enterprise field sales of CNC controllers, industrial robots, and integrated robotic production lines to manufacturing enterprises, with a supplementary recurring revenue stream from iNC-Cloud digital services and an education channel for industrial training robots, CNC training machines, and intelligent manufacturing teaching platforms. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company supports customers with 24-hour service response, 12-month warranties, and 40-working-day full replacement. The go-to-market combines direct sales, OEM embedding into Chinese machine tool builders, international exhibitions (CCMT, CIMT, Manufacturing Indonesia, Vietnam), and an annual International Training Workshop on CNC Technologies co-organized with Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
