AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) expands its global footprint with next-generation thermoforming solutions engineered for precision, efficiency, and compliance.

Tianjin, China – 2026 – AIHOFEN (Haofeng Tianjin Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), a leading Chinese manufacturer of intelligent thermoforming equipment, has officially launched its latest series of positive-negative pressure multi-station thermoforming machines. Designed to address critical industry challenges such as uneven wall thickness, deep-cavity forming defects, and inefficient hole-punching in high-precision packaging, the new SE-series machines integrate servo-driven material feeding, multi-zone infrared heating, and composite positive-negative pressure forming technology. With models ranging from 3 to 5 workstations—including dedicated pre-stretching and punching stations—the series delivers superior dimensional accuracy (±0.05mm), consistent product weight, and seamless integration into automated packaging lines. The machines support PP, PET, PS, PLA, and PVC sheets and are now available globally for order, with mass production commencing immediately.

Core Technological Breakthroughs and Product Highlights

Precision Composite Forming: AIHOFEN’s proprietary positive-negative pressure system first applies vacuum to pre-form the sheet against the mold, then uses 0.5–0.8MPa positive pressure to enhance detail reproduction in deep cavities, ribs, and undercut structures—eliminating thinning and deformation common in single-pressure systems.

Modular Multi-Station Architecture: The 5-station SE850710A model features fully independent workstations for heating, pre-stretching, main forming, punching, and stacking, enabling uninterrupted parallel processing and throughput increases of up to 30% compared to conventional 3-station designs.

Intelligent CNC Control System: Equipped with an advanced CNC platform (superior to standard PLC), the machines store over 500 process recipes, support 8-axis handwheel mold alignment, and offer remote diagnostics—reducing setup time by 40% during product changeovers.

Global Compliance and Certifications

To meet international market requirements, AIHOFEN’s thermoforming machines comply with EU Machinery Directive and EMC standards, backed by official CE certification (MD+EMC). The company also holds China’s GJB9001C military-grade quality management certification, ensuring reliability for high-stakes industrial applications across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific regions.

Availability and Customization Services

The SE-series thermoforming machines are now available for global order via AIHOFEN’s official website (https://www.haofengtj.com/) and authorized international distributors. Standard models include the SE600720A (3/4/5-station) and SE850710A (3/4/5-station), priced from USD 66,000 to USD 132,000. Custom engineering services are offered for specialized tooling, side-hole configurations, and integration with existing production lines.

Executive Statement

"This launch marks a strategic milestone in our mission to redefine thermoforming precision and efficiency worldwide," said Wu Ruxiong, General Manager of AIHOFEN. "As the convener of China’s upcoming automated thermoforming machine industry standard in 2025, we’re committed to delivering equipment that combines German-level engineering with competitive Chinese manufacturing value."

Industry Context and Strategic Positioning

Driven by rising demand for sustainable packaging and automated production, the global thermoforming machinery market is projected to exceed USD 12 billion by 2027 (Grand View Research). AIHOFEN’s expansion aligns with this trend, leveraging its 12,000㎡ self-owned facility, 80-person team (including 10 R&D engineers led by Tsinghua PhDs), and 20+ patents to serve over 100 clients—including Bosch Rexroth, Mercedes-Benz, and Qingdao Berry Plastic.

Future Outlook

AIHOFEN will continue enhancing its global service network and developing AI-integrated thermoforming solutions, with plans to introduce energy-optimized models featuring real-time process analytics by late 2026.
