With a total investment of 192 million RMB in its Phase I and Phase II factories in Jianyang, Fujian Province, ZHUART operates over 53,800 square meters of standardized factory space and holds multiple self-developed invention patents. Since its inception, ZHUART has prioritized green development through technological innovation, integrating automation and intelligent production systems to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and promote the high-end, intelligent, and sustainable development of the bamboo industry.
Automated Production Lines
On November 22, inside the ZHUART factory, technical teams were seen fine-tuning advanced automated production lines. These cutting-edge systems are the result of a collaboration between ZHUART, the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation at Fuzhou University, and the School of Material Science and Engineering at Nanjing Forestry University. Together, they are tackling the key technologies for intelligent robotic integration of bamboo strand processing, bundling, and transportation. The project is still in the R&D phase but has already demonstrated significant potential for efficiency gains.
Mr. He Pincai, Chairman of ZHUART Group, explained:
“Once this project succeeds, we will reduce the workforce needed for certain tasks from 26 employees to just 8, dramatically improving production efficiency and reducing time and energy consumption.”
Looking ahead, ZHUART aims to expand its operations further by integrating its first, second, and third factories into a fully connected production network. The company is committed to creating a more circular and eco-friendly bamboo industry.
Chairman He added:
“Our outdoor bamboo boards are biodegradable after 15 years of use. Once returned, they can be disassembled and repurposed as biomass fuel. Through centralized thermal energy supply and wastewater management, we ensure our bamboo products are more sustainable, ecological, and environmentally friendly. Here in Northern Fujian, we have the best moso bamboo, the best products, and the best ecological practices.”
ZHUART continues to lead the way in blending technological advancements with sustainable practices, positioning itself as a global innovator in the bamboo industry.
