Shantou Gooders Precision Technology Co., Ltd.(Golds), founded in 2017, is a high-tech enterprise focused on precision manufacturing within the building block supply chain. Operating a 210,000 m² production base, the company produces more than 10 billion building block pieces every year. It is now a top-tier supplier of universal building block components, working with major toy companies worldwide.

Located in Chenghai, Shantou—one of China’s most important toy manufacturing hubs—Golds has grown alongside the region’s powerful industrial ecosystem.

Inside the factory, hundreds of injection molding machines run in orderly rows. Every year, billions of tiny plastic pieces leave this production line, eventually becoming castles, spacecraft, and dinosaurs in children’s hands.

The story behind this massive and highly reliable production system traces back to 2017, when Golds was founded, and when it first partnered with Zhafir.

When Golds was established in 2017, its mission was clear: to become a production service partner for leading toy brands. That meant delivering more than just building blocks, but also guaranteeing consistent quality across every batch. Choosing the right equipment was therefore the company’s first critical decision.

“High precision and reliable performance are the foundation of high-quality products,” recalls Hong Jiawen, Production Director at Golds. Zhafir was selected for its strong reputation in technology, service, and cost-performance.

Nine years later, that initial decision has grown into a large-scale production network. Today, Golds operates 327 injection molding machines from Haitian and Zhafir, including 263 Zhafir machines. Working together with Haitian Smart Solutions Robotics systems, they form the backbone of Golds’ massive annual output.

In the world of building blocks, creativity starts with precision. Each block must meet strict dimensional requirements. Equally important is consistency across batches, which means blocks produced at different times must deliver exactly the same fit and feel. Therefore, every detail—dimensional tolerance, parting line, and shrinkage rate—must be controlled at the micron level, ensuring that any two blocks can snap together seamlessly. This level of precision must be maintained over hundreds of millions of production cycles.

Zhafir machines play a vital role in achieving this consistency. Servo-driven systems minimize transmission delay and fluctuation, allowing machines to reach stable operation quickly. Combined with precise injection control, stable clamping systems, and fast cycle performance, they ensure reliable, repeatable production, supporting Golds’ output of billions of components each year. 

The all-electric design also eliminates hydraulic oil, reducing contamination risks and helping maintain the high cleanliness standards required for toy manufacturing.

As smart manufacturing reshapes the industry, Golds has actively built an automated production ecosystem. A dedicated building block solution from Haitian Smart Solutions compresses in-mold actions to 0.82 seconds, enabling stable performance even in high-frequency production cycles. Robotic systems work seamlessly with Zhafir injection molding machines, forming a synchronized production loop: Precise molding → Precise part removal → Precise cycle timing.

With its open architecture and intelligent capabilities, Zhafir equipment integrates smoothly into Golds’ smart factory environment. Production data can be quickly translated into process optimization, allowing the company to respond flexibly to changing orders. The result is faster changeovers, more flexible manufacturing, and higher efficiency.

From 2017 to 2026, Golds and Zhafir have grown together, from a single machine to a large-scale equipment network, and from precision manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.The partnership reflects a clear path forward: starting with advanced precision, scaling that precision through digitalization, and ultimately unlocking new possibilities through intelligent manufacturing.

Today, the 10 billion building blocks produced each year stand as the most visible outcome of this collaboration. In Chenghai, the city that put China’s toy industry on the global map, Golds and Zhafir fit together like two perfectly matched blocks, building a future defined by precision, efficiency, and smart manufacturing.

With mold and precision plastic component facilities in Shenzhen, Zhongshan, and Malaysia, Hongrita now operates six factories and employs approximately 2,500 people worldwide. Hongrita’s core expertise spans multi-material, multi-cavity, and LSR precision molds, serving leading global brands across medical, consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive sectors.

Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Felix Choi, CEO of Hongrita, to hear firsthand how this manufacturing leader approaches choice, evolution, and the future.

At Hongrita’s Zhongshan plant, more than 300 Zhafir all-electric injection molding machines operate reliably day and night. Hongrita sets uncompromising standards: micron-level precision must remain consistent over time and across tens of millions of cycles.

In 2016, when the first second-generation Zhafir all-electric injection molding machine was introduced, the challenge was clear—not just to produce qualified parts, but to keep deviations within micron-level limits over millions of cycles. Zhafir met that challenge. Since then, Hongrita’s production lines have evolved in step with Zhafir’s technology, advancing together to the latest fifth-generation platform.

Today, all Zhafir machines at Hongrita continue to operate stably under high-load conditions, with machine stability underpinning consistently high production yield. This philosophy of iteration rather than replacement has formed the “growth rings” of Hongrita’s production lines, and stands as the first foundation supporting its global customer base.

In recent years, the partnership has reached a new milestone with the joint exploration of CUBE mold technology. “We’ve already received our first customer order,” Mr. Choi noted. From second-generation machines to breakthroughs in cube molding, the relationship has evolved from equipment supply into a collaborative R&D partnership, responding to new market demands and bringing advanced mold concepts into mass production.

Connecting machines into a production line is only the beginning. Hongrita began its digital and intelligent transformation early, guided by a clear goal: replace experience-based judgment with data-driven certainty.

“We need more accurate data for analysis, which is why we fully adopted all-electric machines,” said Mr. Choi. In an environment of intense competition on cost and efficiency, optimization must be rooted in real production data. The comprehensive adoption of Zhafir all-electric machines became the cornerstone. With advantages in energy efficiency and precision control, combined with open data interfaces, Zhafir enables every machine’s operating status, process parameters, and energy consumption to become transparent and traceable. As a result, machines are no longer just producing parts, but also producing insight.

This data-driven approach has also turned green intelligent manufacturing from a concept into action. With real-time data, Hongrita has carried out systematic energy-saving upgrades across water, electricity, gas, and HVAC systems, achieving both economic and environmental gains. Today, Hongrita has earned authoritative Industry 4.0 Maturity Level 2i certification, with Zhafir playing a critical role behind the scenes.

Nearly a decade and 300 Zhafir machines—more than scale, they reflect a journey of choice, trust, and shared progress. From equipment collaboration to technology development and digital transformation, Zhafir has grown alongside Hongrita in modern manufacturing. 

Looking ahead, the partnership will continue to drive innovation and long-term value. This journey of precision manufacturing is still underway.

MCi (Suzhou) is one of Flex’s MCi global manufacturing bases, with production facilities across Asia-Pacific region, North America, and Europe, delivering the “intelligent eye” for leading global new-energy vehicle manufacturers.

Inside the MCi plant, more than 70 Zhafir electric injection molding machines operate in a highly organized manner, supporting the company’s  pursuit of precision and quality. The close, long-term partnership between MCi and Zhafir provides a solid foundation for this efficient operation.

As an early innovator in the automotive rear-view mirror sector, MCi has always placed product quality at the core of its manufacturing philosophy. “Our products demand extremely high injection molding accuracy,” said Mr. Wu, Head of Injection Molding. Among many alternatives, Zhafir stood out for its excellent precision and well-balanced performance, leading to a partnership that began with Zhafir’s first-generation electric injection molding machines and has continued through the latest fifth-generation models. 

For MCi, choosing electric injection molding machines was a natural decision. Higher precision ensures consistency for complex housings and structural components, while low maintenance requirements and the elimination of oil leakage align well with 5S management standards. In addition, strong energy-saving performance supports green manufacturing. With their precision, reliability, and cleanliness, Zhafir electric machines have become a trusted part of the production line.

Mold changeovers are relatively infrequent at the MCi workshop. This is largely due to the high quality of in-house mold development, which delivers long service life and stable performance. To fully leverage these strengths, the cooperation has extended into equipment customization. To meet the specific requirements of rear-view mirror components, Zhafir machines have been optimized with features such as extended ejector strokes and increased plasticizing capacity. These tailored solutions allow molds and machines to work together seamlessly, maximizing production efficiency.

Data is the foundation of intelligent manufacturing. At its facility, MCi has implemented the Haitian Smart Solutions MES system to gain real-time visibility into equipment performance, production progress, and critical process parameters.
