What Haitian International does

Haitian International, founded in 1966 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (ticker: 1882), is one of the world's largest manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, headquartered in Ningbo, China. The company produces a comprehensive portfolio spanning electric machines (Zhafir Venus and Zeres series), servo-hydraulic machines (Mars and Jupiter series), and next-generation platforms (MA5/Ultra, Generation 5), supplemented by the HT·XTEND smart feature suite (HT·Inject, HT·OptiForce) and the Haitian GoFactory Cloud digital platform. European operations are conducted through Haitian International Germany GmbH (regional headquarters) and Haitian Machinery Serbia (a Ruma production facility soft-opened in November 2025), one of five production plants outside China supporting a 'Think Global, Act Local' strategy.

The company sells primarily to industrial buyers across automotive, medical, packaging, consumer goods, electronics, logistics, and white goods, with automotive, medical, and packaging designated as primary verticals. Named reference customers include Beneder Kompetenzgruppe (Austria) and Giebeler (Germany). Revenue is generated principally through hardware sales of injection molding machines, supplemented by after-sales services (spare parts, maintenance, training), the sale of refurbished 'Haitian Stock Machines,' and emerging digital/automation subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based on machine specifications, clamping force, and configuration rather than list-published, and the company distributes through enterprise field sales via regional headquarters, complemented by trade show presence at CHINAPLAS, K Show, and Kuteno, plus open-house customer events at new regional facilities.

The group disclosed FY2024 sales revenue of RMB 16,128.3 million (a 23.4% YoY increase and record high), H1 2025 revenue of RMB 9.0 billion (12.5% YoY), and approximately 10% full-year 2025 revenue growth, indicating sustained double-digit top-line momentum alongside the geographic and product expansion described above.
