ZHUART is proud to announce that its newly built factory in Jianyang, Fujian, has officially begun trial production. Covering an area of 16.38 acres with a factory space of 66,481 square meters, the project represents a 120 million RMB investment.
Scaling to Meet Growth
The new factory has already generated significant demand, with orders scheduled through May of the following year. To meet the growing demand, the company is working around the clock to boost its output.
On September 10, the company successfully launched a dual-medium thermal energy center, developed with an investment of over 10 million RMB. This energy center uses bamboo residues as fuel, offering high thermal efficiency while supporting ZHUART’s sustainable energy use. The thermal energy system has played a critical role in facilitating the trial production phase by ensuring a reliable energy supply.
Early Production Milestones
Over the past month of trial production, ZHUART purchased more than 1,000 tonnes of bamboo raw material for drying and carbonization. The company aims to complete all production stages by year-end and begin full-scale manufacturing. Once fully operational, the new factory will achieve a monthly production capacity of up to 100,000 square meters of outdoor bamboo products.
Chairman of ZHUART Group, Mr. He Pincai, commented on the production progress:
“We’re adopting a step-by-step approach, ensuring each piece of equipment is thoroughly calibrated before production begins. For instance, bamboo strands go through bulk drying, followed by carbonization, moisture adjustment, and ultimately hot pressing. It is a process that takes about 30 days from start to finish.”
Currently, two out of seven high-temperature pyrolysis kilns are fully operational, and ZHUART’s technical team is hard at work bringing the rest online. The full process includes drying, carbonizing, resin application, balancing, and hot-pressing — about a dozen critical steps in total.
Once fully operational, this new Jianyang factory will significantly expand ZHUART’s production capacity and reinforce its position as a world-leading producer of sustainable thermo bamboo for outdoor applications.
