Explore our primary custom manufacturing methodologies tailored for high-tolerance Kiwi industries, ensuring compliance with local AS/NZS engineering standards.
Ningbo Jiangbei XinYe Metal Works Co., Ltd. was established in 1996 as a foundational family business. Today, it remains an owner-managed SME corporation focusing on advanced metal casting, forging, and high-precision CNC machining solutions. Located in the Ningbo Jiangbei Industrial Zone, our facility benefits from excellent shipping infrastructure, situated within 3 hours of Shanghai International Airport via high-speed rail.
Our footprint comprises 16,000 square meters of production floor, complemented by an additional 11,000 square meters of construction. Out of our 130 dedicated personnel, 80 focus strictly on specialized production processes, while 50 lead product development, quality control, metrology, and global supply chain management.
New Zealand businesses rely on us to bridge the gap between initial design phases and high-volume, reliable component supply, backed by strict adherence to ISO 9001:2015 and SA8000 certifications.
New Zealand's industrial ecosystem is highly specialized. Industries ranging from Auckland’s marine engineering networks to Canterbury’s agricultural automation systems demand materials that withstand extreme environmental stresses. Coastal saltwater exposure, geothermal sulfur activity, and agricultural run-off present unique challenges for metallic components.
Outboard motor brackets, structural cleats, hatch hinges, and marine electronics housings require high-silicon, low-copper alloys like A360 or ADC12. This selection prevents galvanic corrosion in severe saltwater environments.
Dairy farming automation, animal tracking brackets, and rotary platforms require components that offer both low structural weight and resistance to organic acids. High-precision die casting delivers these characteristics at scale.
Solar tracker brackets, wind turbine sub-assemblies, and localized power grid enclosures are subject to high UV radiation and extreme thermal cycling. Specialized anodizing ensures long-term operational survival.
By pairing technical design standards (such as AS/NZS, ISO, and ASTM) with precision casting processes, we help engineers optimize walls for thickness, minimize internal porosity, and reduce machining waste.
| Alloy Designation | Silicon (Si)% | Copper (Cu)% | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Primary Application Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A380 (US standard) | 7.5 - 9.5 | 3.0 - 4.0 | 325 | General structural components, bracket assemblies, motor housings. |
| ADC12 (JIS standard) | 9.6 - 12.0 | 1.5 - 3.5 | 310 | Complex geometries, thin-walled automotive castings, valve housings. |
| A360 (Marine Grade) | 9.0 - 10.0 | 0.6 max | 320 | Coastal fittings, marine heat exchangers, subsea sensor protection. |
| AlSi9Cu3 | 8.0 - 11.0 | 2.0 - 4.0 | 300 | High thermal performance housings, automotive gearboxes. |
Our casting designs prioritize thin-walled geometry, draft angle optimization (1.5° to 3°), and thermal analysis to prevent hot tearing and gas porosity. This ensures structural reliability under tension, shear, and compressive loads.
Our facility houses high-tonnage forming systems and multi-axis CNC machines to support complex production workflows from initial casting to final machining.
