Qingdao,China–EASHINE Foundry Solutions today announces the official start of its global operations. As a foundry supply-chain integrator and technical service partner,EASHINE will help overseas buyers source castings,foundry consumables,ancillary equipment and automation solutions from China’s mature and rapidly modernizing foundry industry.

China: the world’s largest and most complete casting base

China has been the world’s largest producer of castings for 25 consecutive years. In 2024,national casting output reached 50.75 million tonnes,accounting for more than 45% of global production. In 2025,output recovered to 52.30 million tonnes,up 3.1% year on year,with a clear shift from pure volume growth to quality,consistency and higher-value parts.

Material coverage is comprehensive. Based on 2025 industry data,China produced approximately 21.05 million tonnes of gray iron (40.2%),14.25 million tonnes of ductile iron (27.2%),6.45 million tonnes of steel castings (12.3%),9.05 million tonnes of aluminum and magnesium alloys (17.3%,growing 8.8%),and 0.85 million tonnes of copper alloys,together with special alloys,refractory metals and small-batch exotic materials. Processes span green sand,resin sand,shell mold,lost foam,V-process,investment casting and sand 3D printing,enabling cost-effective solutions from single prototypes to mass production.

Supporting ecosystem: equipment,auxiliaries and consumables

Beyond castings,China offers one of the world’s most complete foundry ancillary ecosystems. Modern Chinese suppliers provide induction and electric-arc melting systems,ladles,crucibles,furnace linings,automatic temperature measurement,sand preparation,magnetic separation,cooling,shot blasting,dust collection,heat-treatment fixtures and environmental systems. Intelligent foundry packages now integrate foundry robots,AGVs,AS/RS high-bay warehouses,conveyor lines,machine-vision inspection and digital-twin simulation.

Demonstration projects show the direction of this transformation. Intelligent foundry centers in China use 3D-printed sand molds,AGV transport,robotic core assembly and cleaning,automatic pouring and high-bay storage,with sample lead times as short as 7–15 days and full digital data collection across key processes. Green initiatives—used-sand reclamation,low-emission binders,energy-management systems,waste-heat recovery and photovoltaic power—are being adopted across leading clusters,helping global customers meet tighter carbon and compliance requirements.

What this means for global customers

EASHINE believes China’s foundry industry contributes to the world in four ways:

1.Stable supply at scale – massive capacity across iron,steel,aluminum,copper and special alloys reduces lead-time and single-source risk for global OEMs.

2.Cost-effective modernization – Chinese intelligent equipment,from robotic grinding cells to AS/RS and condition-monitoring platforms,shortens payback periods for foundries in developing and developed markets alike.

3.Lightweight and clean-energy enablement – strong aluminum/magnesium capability supports automotive electrification,commercial-vehicle weight reduction and heat-management parts for data-center power equipment.

4.Green and compliant transition – bundled consumables,refractories,filtration,dust-control and automatic temperature systems help overseas plants improve yield,traceability and environmental performance.

EASHINE’s opening commitment

Rather than operating its own foundry,EASHINE acts as an independent sourcing and engineering office in China. We audit and qualify foundries by quality,capacity,delivery and ethics; recommend process-neutral solutions based on part geometry,tolerances and budget; and bundle castings,consumables,ancillary equipment,automation and after-sales support. Our services include workshop planning,proxy procurement,incoming and in-process quality control,third-party inspection coordination,technical training and preventive-maintenance programs.

“China’s foundry industry is moving from ‘biggest’ to ‘smartest and greenest’,” said a spokesperson for EASHINE Foundry Solutions. “Our role is to translate that strength into practical value for overseas customers—lower risk,faster quoting,better consistency,and one accountable partner instead of many suppliers.”

EASHINE is now open for inquiries covering castings,foundry consumables and refractories,pouring and melting accessories,sand-processing and cleaning systems,robotics,AGV and AS/RS automation,spare parts,and full post-processing line integration.
