Recently, Jiahe County Zhongyida Casting Co., Ltd. has been included in the list of individual champions in the manufacturing industry in Hunan Province with its core product of “Five -Axis Industrial Mother Machine High Performance Castings”.

This vividly reflects the industrial transformation and upgrading in Jiahe County, and also demonstrates its strong development momentum at the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).

Jiahe County Zhongyida Casting Co., Ltd. persists in the direction of intelligent, green, and integrated development. By continuously increasing investment in innovative research and development, introducing new processes and technologies, it has significantly improved work efficiency and product quality.

“Our production line has reduced the number of workers by about 30%, while efficiency has increased by 50%, and the cost per ton of castings has decreased by 2 points,” said Wu Linli, operations director of the company.

At present, Jiahe’s industrial transformation is progressing vigorously, with industries such as CNC machine tools and knitted clothing thriving.

Among them, Jiahe County's casting (forging) characteristic industry cluster has been identified as a characteristic industry cluster for small and medium-sized industrial enterprises in Hunan Province, and the drilling and boring machine industry cluster has also been selected into the provincial cultivation list.

He Junhu, deputy director of the Management Committee of Jiahe High-tech Zone, said that the park would firmly implement the strategy of strengthening the county through industries, focus on cultivating 5 leading enterprises with an output value exceeding 500 million yuan, build 10 intelligent casting demonstration lines, striving to achieve the goal of over 20 billion yuan by 2026 in the total output value of the industrial cluster.

Hunan Daqian Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has achieved breakthroughs in innovation and quality. Its independently-developed 26-meter ultra large double column gantry machining center has broken through the technical barriers in the field of ultra-large high-precision machine tools and effectively solved the manufacturing problems of key components in multiple key industries.

Li Tianping, chairman of Hunan Daqian Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., said that in the past, equipment was monopolized by foreign countries, and it was difficult to control the balance on both sides of the gantry. However, now it has been solved after much research. This equipment is large but sophisticated.In recent years, Jiahe has promoted the upgrading and capacity expansion of the park, accelerated the transformation and upgrading of traditional casting and forging industries, cultivated and strengthened advantageous and emerging industries such as equipment manufacturing, CNC machine tools, knitted clothing, low-altitude economy, and deep processing of agricultural products, striving to build a “1131” modern industrial system, strengthen the real economy, and create a national level casting and forging characteristic industrial cluster.

If CNC machine tools represent the “hard power” of Jiahe industries, then the knitted clothing industry demonstrates its “soft power”. In the knitting workshop of Guangfa Town, villagers proficiently operate sewing machines. Many of them are those who once worked far away from home, while others are left-behind women. They are now able to worke at their doorstep.

Jiahe County has innovatively launched the model of “headquarters in the park, branch factories in the township, and workshops in households”, making this wealth industry become a powerful tool to promote rural revitalization and county-level economic development.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), Jiahe County will promote the qualitative and effective improvement of the economy and reasonable growth in quantity. The main expected goal is to achieve an average annual growth rate of over 5.5% in regional GDP, and to ensure that the added value of the manufacturing industry accounts for more than 30% of GDP.
