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.

Founded in 2001, Ningbo Jinlong Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. (Jinlong) started with a focus on small household appliances and mold manufacturing. Over the years, the company has expanded into fields such as power tools and electronic components, accumulating extensive experience in mold design and manufacturing. Some of its molds have received both domestic and international awards. By 2025, Jinlong operates 68,000 square meters of manufacturing space with fixed assets of RMB 150 million, supporting stable and large-scale production.

Today, Jinlong’s workshop runs more than 300 injection molding machines from Haitian International with the blue “Haitian” and “Zhafir” logo. This represents 34 years of long-term trust. Through reliable equipment and responsive service, Haitian turned Jinlong’s initial “first machine” into a long-standing “only choice.”

From the first machine to a workshop equipped with 300 Haitian machines, Jinlong’s logic has remained unchanged. “Haitian machines are stable and highly reliable,” Chairman Shen explained. While production challenges can arise from various operational factors, Haitian’s service has consistently stayed close to the production line. “For users, service is the most important factor.”

After comparing alternative brands, Jinlong found no equivalent match in terms of overall reliability and support. As a result, Jinlong has maintained a 100% Haitian-configured injection molding workshop for over thirty-four years.

As customer demands shifted toward high-end and digitalized manufacturing, Jinlong continued its “Only Choice” with Haitian. In the first half of 2025, the company purchased 38 fifth-generation Haitian injection molding machines. “Our customers are global industry leaders. These projects require full digital integration, end-to-end process monitoring, and backend traceability.” said Chairman Shen.

Haitian machines enable real-time data collection, full-process monitoring, and production traceability, meeting strict digital manufacturing requirements and strengthening Jinlong’s smart manufacturing capabilities.

At this stage, Haitian has evolved from an equipment supplier into a long-term technology partner.
