Talk to a representative nowH-Fang was established in Jiangyan, China with a focus on slewing drive and bearing solutions, supporting the global construction industry.
In 2009, the H-Fang product portfolio grew to include the ‘S’, ‘SE’, and ‘PE’ slewing drive products to serve the PV and HCPV solar tracking market, while achieving ISO9001 certification.
Following admittance to CRES (Chinese Renewable Energy Society), H-Fang was also approved for international safety standards, SVHC and TUV. The ‘HSE’, ‘VS’, and ‘PVE’ product launches were announced to further support the global solar market.
With the addition of the ‘W’ and ‘WE’ products, CCS certification, the establishment of the China Solar Tracking System Alliance with CRES and the Tracking Drive Technology Research Institution, H-Fang opened a second production facility to support product demand.
H-Fang launched ‘WEA’ and ‘HSJ’ products, while product range was approved as ‘industry standard’ by NSTC (National Standardization Technical Committee).
H-Fang was acquired by Cone Drive to expand product offering, end-markets, and global reach, while obtaining ISO14001 approval, receiving best supplier award by the Oshkosh Group, and launching the ‘R’ product.
Implementation of ERP software to improve process management was finalized, membership to CNSTA (China National Solar Thermal Alliance) was granted, and ‘SDE’ and ‘PDE’ products were launched to support focus on CSP solar market.
Cone Drive’s production equipment and practices were installed and implemented at H-Fang, allowing the famed double-enveloping worm gearing to be produced at H-Fang. This milestone offered a newfound focus on the robotics industry, and continued growth in the solar market with the addition of the ‘AD’ product.
