With the official Inauguration of the Phase Ⅲ Door Ring Line, GONVVAMA Loudi Plant not only consolidated its leading position in the domestic laser welding blank manufacturing market but also demonstrated its strong technical strength and market competitiveness. This has been possible thanks to the continuous investment and firm support of VAMA and GONVARRI, the two shareholders, over the past eight years. Their trust and commitment have laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of GONVVAMA.
The new highlights of this production include the introduction of multi part integration solutions and the Ablation 3.0 process, advanced technologies developed and authorized for use by GONVVAMA by the global leading steel manufacturing company ArcelorMittal. Additionally, the new door ring production line will significantly enhance the factory's production efficiency and product quality, offering customers an exceptional product and service experience.
Since its establishment on March 3, 2016, Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ of GONVVAMA Loudi Factory has completed a total investment of 197 million yuan and covers an area of 61,900 square meters. The smooth advancement of this Phase Ⅲ project not only further expanded the factory's scale by 6,225.41 square meters but also achieved a qualitative leap in terms of technology and equipment. The factory is equipped with advanced processing and testing equipment capable of easily handling complex processes such as blanking, partial laser ablation, laser welding, and laser cutting, thereby contributing significantly to the advancement of China's automobile industry.
Looking to the future, GONVVAMA CEO Orlando has proposed three key words: "Hard-work, Focus, and commitment." He hopes to integrate these as a corporate culture into daily work. Every GONVVAMA individual needs to work hard continuously, be industrious and willing; to focus on technological innovation, enhancing productivity, and customer satisfaction; to commit to constantly improving team collaboration, personal quality, and professional skills, thereby becoming the best team, the best people.
With the joint efforts of all employees, the strong support of shareholders and business partners, the future of the GONVVAMA Loudi Factory is surely brighter. We are confident and determined to maintain a leading position in the fiercely competitive market and continue to create new chapters of glory!
