About the Chinese Casting Machines Market
China is one of the leading countries in the production and export of casting machines worldwide. With an annual export volume exceeding approximately 3 billion USD, it supplies machinery extensively to markets in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
China stands out especially in product groups such as fully automated casting lines, high-pressure casting machines, and sand molding systems, offering competitive advantages in both quality and price.
During this visit, we had the opportunity to see firsthand the systems installed by the Chinese manufacturer in the domestic market as well as their international references.
