On June 16, 2026, the groundbreaking ceremony for IECHO’s new headquarters and intelligent equipment industrialization base project was held in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, under the theme “Embarking on a New Journey, Toward the Future.” The event was attended by leaders from the Development Service Center of the Internet Industry Park, Hangzhou High-tech Zone (Binjiang), the Chairman of IECHO, General Manager Frank, as well as representatives from project construction partners, supply chain collaborators, and IECHO employees, all gathered to witness this significant milestone.
Strategic Location in Binjiang Core Area to Build an Intelligent Innovation Industrial Hub
The new headquarters project, located in the core area of Binjiang’s Embodied Intelligence Robot Town, benefits from a highly concentrated ecosystem of industrial innovation resources, a solid digital economy foundation, and a well-established high-end equipment industrial chain, offering exceptional locational advantages and supporting infrastructure.
The project has a total construction area of approximately 29,964 square meters, including about 19,811 square meters above ground and 10,154 square meters underground. The main building reaches a height of 59.95 meters, comprising 12 floors above ground and 2 below, serving as a high-rise R&D and manufacturing complex. The facility is planned to integrate technology R&D, engineering verification, high-end equipment manufacturing, AI applications, product exhibition, and customer services, creating a future-oriented intelligent innovation industrial base.
The construction of the new headquarters represents a crucial milestone in IECHO’s journey toward a new stage of development and serves as a vital spatial platform for the company’s future growth. Upon completion, the project will further support strategic missions including technological innovation, industrial upgrading, AI empowerment, and global expansion, injecting new momentum to enhance IECHO’s overall competitiveness, expand global markets, and serve high-end manufacturing applications.
Reflecting on Three Decades of Progress with Gratitude for Collaborative Support
At the ceremony, General Manager Frank delivered a keynote speech, reviewing the company’s entrepreneurial journey since its establishment in Binjiang, Hangzhou in 1998. Starting from software technology, the company transformed into an intelligent equipment manufacturer integrating software and hardware; expanded from traditional garment processing equipment into the full range of non-metallic intelligent cutting solutions; and grew from a regional enterprise rooted in Binjiang to a national player and then to a global presence – nearly three decades of change have witnessed IECHO’s step-by-step breakthrough growth and iterative transformation.
Frank expressed sincere gratitude to the party committees and governments at all levels in Hangzhou and Binjiang for consistently providing a superior business environment, precise policy support, and thoughtful administrative services that have safeguarded the company’s development. He also thanked all customers and partners for their enduring trust and deep cooperation over the years, and extended appreciation to every IECHO employee for their dedication, perseverance, and relentless pursuit of excellence, which have forged the company’s industry reputation and market position today.
Setting Sights on Global Leadership and Embarking on a New Chapter
The company was successfully listed on the STAR Market of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2021 (stock code: 688092). Standing at this new starting point, IECHO has re-evaluated its strategy and established a clear corporate vision: to become the global leader in digital cutting. The groundbreaking of the new headquarters today is the core strategic move to realize this vision and practice the company’s values.
Looking ahead, Frank outlined a clear and determined development roadmap: to build two high-end digital laboratories – one in Binjiang, Hangzhou and one in Hamburg, Germany – focusing on continuous breakthroughs in digital cutting core technologies, leading industry technology upgrades and innovation; to optimize industrial layout by establishing two high-end digital intelligent manufacturing bases in Binjiang and Fuyang, ensuring premium production capacity, lean manufacturing, and smart production to strengthen the industrial foundation and enhance global delivery capabilities; and to leverage core technology advantages to continuously incubate innovative projects, explore new business tracks, expand industry boundaries, and sustain long-term corporate vitality.
Deepening Sino-German Collaborative Innovation to Empower Global Strategy
In its ongoing global expansion, IECHO has been strengthening its integration of international technology resources. Leveraging the long-established technical expertise and precision manufacturing experience of its German subsidiary ARISTO in the high-end cutting sector, the company will deepen the Sino-German collaborative innovation mechanism. This will drive the integration of German technical know-how, local R&D capabilities, AI applications, and global market demands, accelerating technology synergy, engineering verification, product upgrades, and commercialization of results.
Going forward, the new intelligent equipment industrialization base project will serve as a key pillar in IECHO’s global R&D and manufacturing network, undertaking functions such as technology innovation, high-end equipment manufacturing, AI application R&D, product exhibition, customer service, and global collaborative innovation. From this new starting point, IECHO will further consolidate its technological, product, and service capabilities for global markets, continuously enhancing its international competitiveness in the non-metallic material intelligent processing sector.
A Long Journey – Only Through Striving
“The building can be built, the industry can be expanded, technology can be iterated, but the foundation that supports all of this will forever be our down-to-earth, like-minded core team,” said Frank in his address to colleagues and partners. “Every colleague and every partner present here is the most treasured asset on IECHO’s journey toward its grand vision – they are the solid cornerstone that enables us to move steadily and far.”
Looking forward to the relocation in 2028, Frank expressed his excitement, shared by everyone at IECHO. In the future, the company will stay true to its original aspiration, deepen its core business, leverage technological innovation to break new ground, and advance with practical action and responsibility. Together, united and determined, they will press forward toward the magnificent vision of becoming the global leader in digital cutting, jointly creating an even brighter and more brilliant tomorrow for IECHO.
