Overview

Zhejiang Wanfeng Auto Wheel Co., Ltd. (stock code 002085) is an international advanced-manufacturing company operating in the "big transportation" sector. It listed on the main board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2006 and describes itself as the first A-share listed company in its domestic sub-sector. The company operates manufacturing bases and R&D centers across ten countries and regions, with a presence spanning Europe (the United Kingdom, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Croatia), Asia (China, India) and North America (Canada, the United States, Mexico). Wanfeng's business is organized around a "dual-engine" strategy. The first engine is automotive metal lightweighting, built on a main line of "magnesium alloy – aluminum alloy – lightweight high-strength steel" material applications. The company states that its magnesium alloy components and aluminum alloy components businesses have achieved global industry leadership, and it is one of the world's largest aluminum alloy wheel suppliers and one of the world's leading magnesium alloy component suppliers. Its magnesium alloy products are reported to hold more than 65% of the North American market, and its lightweight aluminum wheel capacity has reached 40 million sets per year. It is also a leading domestic manufacturer of high-strength steel stampings and one of China's largest coating processing bases, accounting for 40% of the national environmentally friendly chrome-free zinc-aluminum coating market and 70% of the automotive coating market. The second engine is general aviation aircraft manufacturing. Through the acquisition of a leading international general aviation aircraft manufacturer, Wanfeng produces complete aircraft with independent intellectual property rights. Wanfeng Diamond Aircraft holds full intellectual property rights for 7 series, 25 aircraft models and 4 aircraft engines, and is one of the world's top three general fixed-wing aircraft manufacturers, with 7 aircraft manufacturing plants, 4 flight training bases, 1 aircraft manufacturing engineering center, 5 aircraft design and R&D centers, and 192 service centers in 90 countries. The company is also participating in the construction of Zhejiang Province's 5.5-square-kilometer "Wanfeng Aviation Characteristic Town" as a national-level general aviation industry demonstration zone. Guided by the business philosophy of "building an international brand and constructing a century-old enterprise," Wanfeng has over more than twenty years of continuous development transformed from operational internationalization toward internationalization of capital, talent, technology and brand. It reports 48 national-level projects, 106 provincial-level projects, 1,400 patents and 12,000 employees worldwide.

History

Zhejiang Wanfeng Auto Wheel Co., Ltd. was listed on the main board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2006 under stock code 002085, and describes itself as the first A-share listed company in its domestic sub-sector. Over more than twenty years of continuous development, the company grew from a wheel and automotive component manufacturer into an international advanced-manufacturing group in the "big transportation" sector, progressively transforming from operational internationalization toward internationalization of capital, talent, technology and brand. In 2020 the company formally established a new development framework centered on the application of "magnesium alloy – aluminum alloy – lightweight high-strength steel" metal material lightweighting, and implemented a "dual-engine" driven strategy: to become a promoter of global automotive metal component lightweighting and a global leader among innovative general aviation aircraft manufacturers. Under this strategy, its magnesium alloy component and aluminum alloy component businesses achieved global industry leadership, and the company expanded through the acquisition of a leading international general aviation aircraft manufacturer, enabling it to manufacture complete aircraft with independent intellectual property rights. Wanfeng's automotive lightweighting operations now include a globally leading lightweight aluminum wheel manufacturing base, a globally leading lightweight die-cast magnesium alloy manufacturing base, and a domestically leading high-strength steel stamping parts business. Its magnesium alloy products are reported to hold more than 65% of the North American market, and its lightweight aluminum wheel capacity has reached 40 million sets per year. The company also accounts for 40% of China's environmentally friendly chrome-free zinc-aluminum coating market and 70% of the automotive coating market, making it one of China's largest coating processing bases. On the aviation side, Wanfeng Aircraft Industry follows the guiding principle of "one world, one Diamond, one family" and has built an international development structure integrating R&D, manufacturing and sales. Wanfeng Diamond Aircraft holds full intellectual property rights for 7 series, 25 aircraft models and 4 aircraft engines, and ranks among the world's top three general fixed-wing aircraft manufacturers, with 7 aircraft manufacturing plants, 4 flight training bases, 1 aircraft manufacturing engineering center, 5 aircraft design and R&D centers, and 192 service centers in 90 countries. The company is also participating in the construction of Zhejiang Province's 5.5-square-kilometer "Wanfeng Aviation Characteristic Town" as a national-level general aviation industry demonstration zone. Today Wanfeng operates manufacturing bases and R&D centers in ten countries and regions across Europe, Asia and North America, and reports 48 national-level projects, 106 provincial-level projects, 1,400 patents and 12,000 employees worldwide.
