ZOPO Intelligence 2025 "Drive the Plan, Lead the Race — Full Speed Ahead!"
During the 2025 Two Sessions of Huangshan City, ZOPO Intelligent was featured on the front page of the 14010th issue of Huangshan Daily: "ZOPO Intelligent bravely enters the new track of mid-to-high-end machine tools and explores how the "little giant" of CNC machine tools is made?", telling the growth path of ZOPO Intelligent from the aspects of "seeking breakthroughs in new technologies" and "strengthening power with new resources".
Chairman Fang Jianhui spoke as a member of the Municipal CPPCC at the group discussion meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and made proposals from the aspects of "the value of undertaking the industrial mother machine industry to the high-quality development of Huangshan", "the value of building an industrial mother machine industry base to the development of other manufacturing industries in Huangshan", and "expecting the government to pay more attention to the industrial mother machine industry and provide further relevant policy support to related enterprises headed by ZOPO".
Governments at all levels in Huangshan City attach great importance to the development of industrial enterprises, especially high-end intelligent manufacturing enterprises (industrial mother machines) headed by ZOPO Intelligent. According to the important instructions of the municipal party committee, government and district party committee and government, ZOPO Intelligent must continue to improve its political stance, keep up with the country's "15th Five-Year Plan", and under the leadership of Chairman Fang Jianhui, give full play to its own strength, increase scientific and technological innovation, and strive to climb to the top. It is committed to promoting product research and development, focusing on precision multi-axis and multi-linkage high-end intelligent machining centers, high-performance five-axis linkage machining centers, high-efficiency precision CNC gantry machining centers, automated production lines and other series of medium and high-end CNC machine tools, and continue to create digital and intelligent manufacturing demonstration and leadership, improve the intelligence level of key equipment, focus on expanding the integrated application of intelligent manufacturing, and build an interconnected, interoperable, shared, and integrated digital intelligent manufacturing factory. Create a high-end intelligent equipment manufacturing industry cluster in Huangshan, and contribute wisdom and strength to promote the high-quality economic and social development of Huangshan City.

Forging CNC Machine Tool "Niche Champions": How Are They Developed——ZOPO Intelligence bravely enters the new track of high quality machine tools
In the winter season, stepping into the production workshop of Anhui ZOPO Intelligent Equipment CO., Ltd, one can see a series of digital and intelligent CNC machine tools operating joyfully and precisely.
Behind this bustling scene, technological empowerment and innovation-driven strategies provide crucial support and internal momentum.
Seeking Breakthroughs with New Technologies
With the high-speed rotation of the cutter head steadily advancing, the hard metal beneath the cutter is transformed into shiny parts as chips and cutting fluid splash around, which are then assembled into machines. These machines, known as "mother machines" or machine tools, are the "heart" of modern industry.
Located in Huizhou District, Anhui ZOPO Intelligent Equipment CO., Ltd has long specialized in the design, manufacture, and service of machine tools.
"This five-axis gantry machining center was independently developed by our company over two years and is now ready for use," said Mao Jian, the line manager of ZOPO Intelligence's C line, pointing to a large CNC machine tool. "Five-axis CNC machine tools are high-tech, high-precision machines specifically designed for processing complex surfaces, akin to sports cars in the automotive industry. Due to their superior performance, high product precision, and production efficiency, they are a significant force in driving the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. This type of machine tool is a flagship product of ZOPO Intelligence."
As a company mastering several domestically leading key core technologies in five-axis CNC machine tools, innovation is the key to ZOPO Intelligence's success at every stage of development.
In the intelligent digital workshop, staff monitor the detailed status of each processing device in real-time through flickering screens. "This is the system of our intelligent digital workshop," explained Zhuang Kai, the line manager of ZOPO Intelligence's M line, pointing to the screens in front of him.
"The two screens on the left are dedicated to collecting key information from all processing equipment in the workshop, including the precise coordinates, real-time processing status, and any potential alarm signals, ensuring we have a comprehensive grasp of each device's operation. The screen on the right is the information aggregation area, displaying summarized information such as processing duration and machine tool status, providing a clear overview of the workshop's production status," Zhuang Kai said. He added that this system not only enhances the workshop's transparency and controllability but also optimizes the production process through digital means, injecting strong momentum into the company's intelligent transformation.
By developing the CNC machine tool industry through technological innovation and enhancing the ability to tackle key technologies and "bottleneck" issues, ZOPO Intelligence can effectively expand its market share. It is reported that ZOPO Intelligence's annual production and sales volume for 2024 will exceed 1.1 billion yuan.
Strengthening Momentum with New Resources
Going from 0 to 1 requires immense courage; going from 1 to many tests perseverance and wisdom.
Transitioning from a traditional mechanical manufacturing enterprise to a leading company in the high-end equipment manufacturing and intelligent industry, ZOPO Intelligence has embarked on an extraordinary transformation and upgrading journey.
"Our company places great emphasis on technological research and development. We have established deep interactions and collaborative partnerships with renowned cutting machine tool research institutions in Japan, Germany, and Taiwan, China. Additionally, we have long-term industry-university-research cooperation with institutions such as Shenyang University of Technology and Hefei University of Technology," said Yu Hongzheng, the operations director of Anhui ZOPO Intelligent Equipment CO., Ltd. "The company is deeply rooted in the CNC machine tool industry, focusing on 'horizontal travel coverage and vertical processing specialization,' striving to drive the upgrade and improvement of our core products, and exploring and developing new products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights, providing strong support for the company's development."
If technological innovation is the "hard bone," then talent is the "iron teeth." To unleash innovation, it is essential to overcome the talent hurdle.
ZOPO Intelligence has always adhered to the "people-oriented" philosophy. To enhance the company's ability to attract and cultivate talent, a comprehensive professional training system has been meticulously constructed, covering operational strategies, human resource management, technical training, and sales skills, providing employees with all-round, multi-level training to effectively improve their overall professional technical level.
Talent leadership and technological innovation have endowed the company with continuous internal momentum for progress, enabling it to make significant strides in its development.
Today, ZOPO Intelligence has grown into a national-level specialized and sophisticated "little giant" enterprise, ranking among the top 50 specialized and sophisticated enterprises in Anhui Province.
"Currently, the large-scale intelligent CNC machine tool manufacturing project (equipment workshop, R&D center) of Anhui ZOPO Intelligent Equipment CO., Ltd has been completed and will soon be put into use," said Yu Hongzheng. "In the future, ZOPO Intelligence will continue to strive to be a professional cutting solution provider, aiming to become a leader in the CNC machine tool industry."
