On February 3, 2026, the sixth day of the first lunar month, while many people were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival holiday, the machines were already roaring at Ningbo Zhongtuo Mold Technology Co., Ltd., located in the Xizhou Town Industrial Park in Xiangshan County. All production lines were running at full capacity, and employees were busy operating intelligent CNC equipment.

“Usually, we start work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but this year we started earlier, on the sixth day. Currently, 70% of our employees have returned to work, and we expect to reach full attendance and full production around the tenth day of the first lunar month,” said Hu Zhanglai, the plant’s production manager. He added that the company’s orders are already booked through March, with the earliest batch of post-holiday orders due on February 7, requiring them to work overtime to meet the deadlines.

As a company specializing in the design, development, manufacturing, and injection molding of precision automotive molds, Zhongtuo Mold has continuously increased investment in technological transformation, capacity expansion, and market development since its establishment in 2013. In 2024, the company achieved an output value of over 28 million yuan, demonstrating strong growth momentum. The company’s general manager, Zhu Hongming, stated that they aim to increase the output value to around 35 million yuan in the new year.

Industry insiders point out that with the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for precision automotive molds remains robust. Zhongtuo Mold is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
