Yangjiang Welcomes EPRASS Smart Manufacturing Base

This year marks the Business Environment Development Year in Yangjiang. Taking this as a key opportunity, Yangdong District has focused on the core goal of high-quality development, making precise efforts in investment promotion. The district has successfully attracted Guangdong EPRASS Precision Technology Co., Ltd., which is investing 120 million yuan to establish a riveting fastener production and supply chain distribution base in Yangdong. This modern smart manufacturing facility, integrating full automation, mechanization, and digitalization, is expected to begin production by the end of April, injecting strong momentum into Yangdong's fastener industry.

As the key project in this investment drive, Guangdong EPRASS Precision Technology Co., Ltd. is a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise specializing in advanced riveting technology solutions for automotive lightweighting. Since its founding, the company has focused on developing automated precision assembly technologies and has cultivated deep expertise in the riveting fastener field, breaking foreign monopolies with its solid technical capabilities.

"We have been advancing locked riveting and clinching technologies for 22 years, with our own computer copyrights, invention patents, and proprietary databases," said Gao Xiaowei, the company's general manager. He explained that based on solid data support, the company has continuously broken through in the high-end riveting technology field, successfully achieving import substitution for core riveting fasteners and completely eliminating dependence on European and American suppliers, making significant contributions to the self-development of the domestic fastener industry. Currently, the company has been recognized as a specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative enterprise and is actively applying for Little Giant status, with its technical strength and development potential widely acknowledged.

The new production and supply chain distribution base in Yangdong represents a strategic step in the company's layout, positioned as a smart and intelligent factory. According to Gao Xiaowei, from planning and design to equipment selection, the base adheres to high-end and intelligent concepts. Fully automated production lines and digital management systems enable efficient end-to-end operations for riveting fastener production, inspection, warehousing, and distribution. This intelligent layout not only significantly improves production efficiency and product quality stability but also enables rapid response to customer needs, further strengthening the company's supply chain competitiveness.

Regarding the base's development prospects, Gao Xiaowei expressed confidence: "We plan to begin formal production by the end of April, hoping to make this a benchmark enterprise factory in Yangdong and contribute to Yangdong's high-quality development." The completion and operation of this base will not only directly boost local employment and elevate Yangdong's industrial capabilities in the riveting fastener field but also, leveraging the company's technological advantages and supply chain resources, attract upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, promoting the formation of a distinctive fastener industry cluster in Yangdong.

A Yangdong District official stated that the successful introduction of the EPRASS project is an important achievement in optimizing the local business environment and precisely matching industrial needs. In recent years, Yangdong District has continuously improved government service efficiency and industrial supporting facilities, providing comprehensive support for enterprise development. The landing of this 120 million yuan riveting fastener base will further strengthen Yangdong's advanced manufacturing scale and promote regional industrial structure optimization and upgrading.

Industry analysts suggest that the commissioning of the EPRASS Yangdong base will fill a local gap in high-end intelligent riveting fastener manufacturing. Its import-substituting technological advantages will also drive related domestic industries. With the end-of-April production date approaching, this intelligent factory is about to unveil itself, expected to become a new engine for high-quality development in Yangdong's fastener industry and add a bright achievement to Yangjiang's Business Environment Development Year.
