Zhu Kangjian, Chairman of Bochuang: Intelligent Innovation and Collaborative Efforts to Pioneer a New Era in Electric Vehicles

Meticulous craftsmanship and steadfast practice

Build benchmark strength in electric injection molding machines

Over more than four decades in the industry, Chairman Zhu has personally witnessed the entire journey of China’s injection molding equipment sector—from reliance on imports and technological backwardness to gradual independent R&D and catching up with world-class standards. He has also deeply recognized the shortcomings of traditional hydraulic machines, including high energy consumption and heavy pollution. Over the years, he has led Borch in making sustained investments in electrification, personally overseeing and repeatedly refining every link, from core components to complete machine manufacturing. Even at a time when the industry generally questioned electric injection molding machines as being too costly and difficult to promote, he never wavered in his determination to advance the transition toward electrification.

“I want China to have its own high-end electric injection molding machines and enable Chinese enterprises to break free from dependence on imported equipment.” Under Mr. Zhu’s leadership, Borche has accumulated more than 20 years of expertise in electrification technology and has mastered core technologies. It also has a dedicated subsidiary specializing in the research, development, and production of motors, as well as its own self-developed four-in-one technology and direct-drive electric injection molding machine solutions, which deliver exceptionally outstanding performance.

At CHINAPLAS 2026, the three all-electric injection molding machines exhibited by Borch fully demonstrated its strong technological capabilities. The Be intelligent all-electric injection molding machine showcased exceptional cost performance and green intelligent manufacturing, breaking the stereotype that “all-electric injection molding machines must be expensive.” It can also achieve 25% energy savings, reduce cycle time by 25%, and improve precision by 500%. The BU-EV two-platen all-electric injection molding machine embodied the technological height of “two-platen electric” solutions, representing the future of electrification for large-scale injection molding machines—an offering rarely seen across the entire exhibition hall. The BD-H new-generation high-speed all-electric injection molding machine features an injection speed of up to 500 mm/s, with virtually no inertia, enabling instant start and stop at will, reaching a world-leading technological level.

Mr. Zhu’s profound insight into the industry has given this steadfast commitment to electrification even greater long-term significance. At a time when many people equate plastic with pollution, Mr. Zhu holds a different and distinctive view: “Plastic is one of the most environmentally friendly materials. ‘Replacing wood with plastic, replacing steel with plastic, and replacing ceramics with plastic’ is the general trend of industry development, and realizing this trend depends on high-performance electric injection molding equipment as support.” This understanding has not only made Borch’s development direction clearer, but has also strengthened his determination to continue focusing on electric injection molding machines.

Ignite the Future

Create a New Paradigm for Intelligent Injection Molding

Defining a new realm through technological innovation, Borch’s “New Electric Realm” is not an isolated product slogan, but a comprehensive upgrade from core equipment to system integration, and from hardware to software. The Borch electric injection molding machine family delivers powerful yet precise core driving force for this “new realm.” It enables a collaborative ecosystem, intelligently linking with robots, auxiliary equipment, and other peripheral devices to build highly efficient automated units. Through an intelligent management system, it also achieves global optimization of production scheduling, quality traceability, and energy management.

Zhu Dong firmly believes that the future trend will definitely be electrification and intelligence, and “Electric New Horizon” is Bochuang’s answer to the future. It means that Bochuang will join hands with its customers to move beyond the pursuit of the performance of a single piece of equipment, and instead jointly create a new form of productivity that is more efficient, more precise, cleaner, and smarter. Zhu Dong revealed that Bochuang is now fully committed to the research of AI injection molding technology, and is expected to launch the world’s first AI injection molding robot next year, enabling injection molding machines to achieve “human-machine integration” and truly become capable of thinking, learning, and autonomously optimizing.

“As equipment manufacturers, we provide our customers with the ‘weapons’ they need. Only when the equipment is strong enough can our customers gain a firm foothold in market competition. And electric injection molding machines are the most powerful ‘weapons’ for the future of the industry.” In Chairman Zhu’s words, we can see his forward-looking insight, as well as Borch’s responsibility and commitment as a provider of complete injection molding equipment solutions. From its earlier dedication to large two-platen machines to its current all-out push into electric injection molding machines, Borch has always stayed at the forefront of the industry. With persistence in craftsmanship and confidence in opening new horizons, it has become a beacon of light on the path of transformation and upgrading in the injection molding industry.

With unwavering dedication, we create outstanding products; through innovation, we earn trust and acclaim. Market recognition is the best answer. At CHINAPLAS 2026, a customer told Chairman Zhu that a year ago he was still skeptical about electric injection molding machines and had bought just one or two units to try. Now, he has specifically chosen BORCHE electric injection molding machines. This made Chairman Zhu feel both proud and honored, as it not only represents a high affirmation of BORCHE’s product performance, but also gives meaning to his years of perseverance and commitment.
