What Impro Fluidtek does

Impro Precision Industries Limited, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as 1286.HK and operating the Impro Fluidtek brand as a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a Hong Kong-domiciled precision component manufacturer founded in 1998. The company produces high-precision, high-complexity and mission-critical casting and machined components for global industry leaders including Bosch, Caterpillar, Cummins, Honeywell, HUSCO and Parker Hannifin across six primary verticals: automotive, high-horsepower engines, construction and agricultural equipment, hydraulic equipment, aerospace, medical, and energy.

Its core technology stack spans investment casting, precision CNC machining, sand casting, electroplating surface treatment, heat treatment, and in-house laboratory services, supplemented by aerospace-specific permanent mold casting and shell mold casting, plus 3D printing applied to both investment and sand casting patterns. The company packages these capabilities as a one-stop solution covering tooling design and manufacture, casting, secondary machining, heat treatment, surface treatment and finishing, enabling ready-to-use components for OEM assembly lines.

The business model is B2B and quote-based, with revenue generated through one-time component manufacturing contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Sales go through direct enterprise field relationships, supported by a global footprint of 21 manufacturing facilities across 7 countries/regions and a workforce of 7,000+. Capital is sourced through Hong Kong equity markets — most recently a 2026 share placing raising HK$539 million in net proceeds for capacity expansion — and the company is included in the MSCI Hong Kong Small Cap Index. Impro Fluidtek operates as a retained acquired brand focused on fluid technology solutions.
