What Ningbo Haitian Precision Machinery does

Ningbo Haitian Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. (宁波海天精工股份有限公司, SSE: 601882, brand: Hision) is a publicly listed Chinese manufacturer of CNC machine tools, vertically integrated from cast beds and linear guides through spindles, control systems, and complete machines. Founded in 2006 as the machine-tool arm of Haitian Group (founded 1966), the company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in November 2016 and operates four modern manufacturing bases in Ningbo Dagang, Ningbo Yanshan, Dalian, and the new Beilun high-end intelligent production base, totaling 570,000 sqm of constant-temperature factory space with approximately 2,300 employees. The Dalian base alone is rated for 3,000 vertical machining centers, 400 CNC lathes, and 420 small gantry machines annually, and the company celebrated its 20,000th Dalian-produced VMC delivery in July 2025.

The company's product portfolio spans four core lines: vertical machining centers (VMC, CFV, VMCII series), horizontal machining centers (HPC, HUP, HF series), CNC lathes (TC, HTC, TE series), and gantry/double-column machining centers (GU, GLU, GRU, BEL, BFL, MOU, BFH2030D, KMUF, BF/DF/GFU/GTi series), supplemented by intelligent add-on modules including the proprietary H10 CNC control system, ACP automatic collision protection, F-card thermal compensation, wireless IoT spindle monitoring, and turnkey FMS lines. End markets are diversified across automotive (engine blocks, transmission housings, NEV battery trays, integrated die-cast front cabins), mold and die manufacturing, aerospace (civil aircraft impellers, structural brackets), general machinery, rail transit, robotics and automation, and wind power casting.

Haitian Precision sells primarily through direct field sales in China combined with wholly-owned overseas subsidiaries in Vietnam, India, Mexico, Malaysia, and Turkey, supported by 4S centers, application centers, and regional service hubs. The GTM motion combines enterprise field sales with event-driven demand generation at CIMT, CCMT, EMO, and regional exhibitions, plus factory open days. Revenue mechanics come from hardware sales (CNC machines) and after-sales service (maintenance, repair, spare parts, technical support); pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by configuration. Strategic technology partnerships with Siemens, FANUC, and KESSLER underpin the high-end 5-axis and high-speed product strategy.
