WWELD Established Joint Venture for Marine and Shipbuilding Robotics

ZHOUSHAN, China – In a strategic move to advance intelligent manufacturing in the marine and shipbuilding sectors, Weld Robot Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Zhongdao Yuegang Marine Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have jointly invested in the establishment of Zhejiang AWELD Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The new company, headquartered in Changtu Town, Daishan County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, will focus on the R&D and production of Industrial Robots and automated control systems, with a specialization in marine engineering and shipbuilding-oriented welding and Cutting Robots.

The joint venture marks a convergence of expertise between WWeld Robot, a leader in industrial robotics, and Zhongdao Yuegang, a prominent player in marine equipment manufacturing. Zhejiang AWELD Intelligent Manufacturing aims to address the growing demand for precision and efficiency in offshore and shipbuilding industries through cutting-edge automation solutions. Its core products will include AI-driven Welding Robots capable of handling complex marine-grade materials and high-precision cutting robots designed for large-scale ship components.

“This collaboration leverages our strengths in robotics innovation and Zhongdao Yuegang’s deep-rooted experience in marine engineering,” said CEO of Weld Robot. “By integrating smart manufacturing technologies, we aim to set new benchmarks for quality and productivity in shipyards and offshore platforms.”

The establishment of the Zhoushan-based facility aligns with China’s national strategy to upgrade its manufacturing sector through intelligent technologies. Zhoushan, a hub for marine industries, provides strategic access to key shipbuilding clusters and offshore energy projects. Analysts note that the venture could significantly reduce labor costs and safety risks in hazardous welding and cutting operations while accelerating project timelines.

Industry stakeholders anticipate that Zhejiang AWELD’s solutions will bolster the global competitiveness of China’s marine equipment sector, particularly as demand for automated systems surges amid labor shortages and stricter environmental regulations. The company plans to commence production by late 2024, with initial projects targeting domestic shipbuilders and offshore oil rig manufacturers.

This partnership underscores a broader trend of cross-industry alliances in China’s advanced manufacturing landscape, driven by the dual goals of technological self-reliance and sustainable industrial growth.
