Welcome to YIZUMI Company
The Managing Partner and CEO Richard Yan (right) welcomes you to the Yizumi company with its headquarters in China near Hong Kong.
Yizumi (www.yizumi.com), a Chinese mechanical engineering company with more than 3,00 employees, manufactures and offers automated solutions in injection molding, die casting, rubber injection molding, thixomolding and 3D-Printing, making it the only machine manufacturer in the world to cover all areas of high-pressure molding. The company ranks second worldwide in terms of production volumes.
Our ambitious goal is to achieve market leadership through technology-based innovations. For this reason, we have established our new subsidiary YIZUMI Germany GmbH. Originally located in the campus of RWTH Aachen in close proximity of renowned IKV institute, rapid expansion of our company soon required considerable expansion, which the university campus could not offer us. Therefore, in mid-2020 we moved to a new plant in the Alsdorf industrial area near Aachen.
