In 2023, China's automotive production and sales both surpassed the 30 million-vehicle mark for the first time, making the automotive industry a significant driver of industrial economic growth. As a crucial factor in safe driving, the demand for tire quality inspection services continues to grow rapidly. Qingdao Houze Jinye Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Houze Jinye"), located in Qingdao High-tech Industrial Development Zone, is a leading manufacturer of tire testing equipment that provides comprehensive solutions for tire performance testing to global tire manufacturers. The company consistently leads innovation in tire testing equipment, ensuring the safety of automotive travel.
To analyze whether the internal structure of a tire meets design requirements, the first step is to "dissect" the tire. The tire cross-section cutting machine is a specialized equipment used in the tire industry, automotive industry, and related tire quality inspection institutions. This machine allows radial cutting of the tire from bead to bead for sampling. Traditional tire cross-section cutting equipment relies heavily on manual operation, resulting in high labor intensity, high pollution, and potential detection errors. However, the tire cross-section cutting machine independently developed by Houze Jinye has achieved complete automation of the cutting process. This not only avoids safety risks such as environmental pollution and injury accidents, but also significantly improves the efficiency of testing work. By automating the process, Houze Jinye's cutting machine ensures accuracy and consistency in sampling, thus enhancing the reliability of tire quality inspections.
Currently, Houze Jinye is in the process of developing a tire high-speed durability tester that meets the rigorous requirements of Michelin. Customized specifically for Michelin, this tester is designed to fully satisfy the demanding technical parameters in terms of test accuracy, stability, safety, and ergonomics. The successful implementation of this project will further enhance Houze Jinye's reputation and competitiveness in the tire testing field, creating an excellent opportunity for the company to expand into the international market for high-end testing equipment.
Since its establishment in September 2022, Houze Jinye has consistently adhered to a technology-driven approach, emphasizing research and development investments to lay a solid foundation for high-quality enterprise development. The company currently employs 80 staff, with 40% dedicated to research and development, and holds nearly 70 patents and software copyrights. As a leading enterprise in the domestic tire testing equipment industry, Houze Jinye's products include tire cross-section cutting machines, tire high-speed durability testers, rolling resistance testers, tire strength and bead unseating resistance testers, as well as other testing equipment and consumables. The company continues to provide high-quality services for safety and quality inspections in the automotive production and tire manufacturing sectors.
Looking ahead, Houze Jinye plans to build upon its solid foundation in tire testing equipment and further expand its business into the giant engineering tire and aviation tire sectors. Additionally, the company aims to diversify into the photovoltaic new energy industry, offering a range of automated integrated equipment and workshop-level automation solutions. By continuously nurturing and growing new productive forces, Houze Jinye strives to continuously enable high-quality development and innovation.
