The 74,300 m² (800,000 ft²) facility, known as Xiamen 6, forms part of the company’s wider strategy to strengthen manufacturing capacity across its global operations. Incorporating state-of-the-art automation, it is intended to support the growing demand for high-precision components used in advanced technology applications.
TDConnex began MIM production in 2020, and currently lists fifty-three Metal Injection Moulding machines from Fanuc and Nissei, with six continuous furnace lines and various post-processing equipment. The number of additional MIM machines required for the new facility was not stated.
The Xiamen 6 facility is located adjacent to TDConnex’s existing campus in Haicang District, Xiamen. The proximity of the two sites is intended to enable the sharing of manufacturing resources, engineering expertise and operational infrastructure, supporting faster production ramp-up and improved coordination across operations.
According to TDConnex, the facility was constructed in four months and has already entered production to support existing customer programmes.
“Xiamen 6 reflects what TDConnex is built to do – meet the speed and precision the world’s most innovative technology customers require,” stated Thanga Venkatachalam, Chief Executive Officer of TDConnex. “As electronics become thinner, lighter and more intelligent, demand for advanced micro-precision components – and particularly high-strength miniaturised metal components enabled by MIM technology – continues to accelerate. We are deeply grateful to our customers for their partnership and look forward to continuing to expand our capabilities globally.”
The company acknowledged the support of Haitou Group, as well as municipal and provincial authorities in Xiamen and Fujian, respectively, in the development of the facility. At full production capacity, TDConnex stated that the site is expected to support between 3,000 and 4,000 direct and indirect jobs across the region.
The company operates manufacturing facilities in China, Singapore and India, offering more than fifty manufacturing processes integrated within an automated production network.
