Yizumi and DGS Forge Strategic Partnership to Explore New Blue Ocean in Semi-Solid Magnesium Alloy Forming Technology

Recently, Yizumi and Guangzhou Dezhi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Dezhi") signed a strategic cooperation agreement, marking the beginning of a new chapter of deep collaboration between the two parties in the field of magnesium alloy semi-solid injection molding. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swiss DGS Group in China, this cooperation is undoubtedly a strong alliance between a multinational corporation and a leading local Chinese enterprise.

At the signing ceremony, Mr. Song Chengliang, Managing Director of DGS China Guangzhou Dezhi/Rizhao Dezhi, Mr. Liu Xiaomo, R&D Manager, Mr. Christoph Wernz, Deputy General Manager of Yizumi Die Casting Machine Division, Mr. Sui Tiejun, Director of the Magnesium Alloy Project Department, Mr. Wang Bo, Director of the Product and Market Management Center, Mr. Cao Liangji, Director of Key Accounts, Mr. Chen Yong, Magnesium Alloy Market Manager, and Mr. Liang Jiayao, Assistant Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Sales Manager, gathered together to witness this important moment.

Joint Efforts to Overcome Challenges

Breaking the barriers of semi-solid forming technology

DGS, as a globally renowned enterprise in the automotive parts and accessories manufacturing industry, holds a leading international position in the field of structural component production. Its subsidiary, Guangzhou Dezhi, is one of the first die-casting companies in China to achieve mass production of automotive structural components, possessing rich production experience and advanced technical expertise. Yizumi, on the other hand, is an equipment supplier specializing in the field of compression molding equipment manufacturing, with strong capabilities and innovative capacity in equipment manufacturing.

This strategic cooperation between both parties represents a perfect integration of intelligent equipment with magnesium alloy applications, mold design experience, and forming processes. Although the semi-solid forming technology for magnesium alloys has broad prospects, it still faces many technical challenges, such as forming precision, production efficiency, and process stability. The collaboration between Yizumi and DGS will integrate both parties’ advantageous resources in equipment manufacturing, mold design, and process technology, forming a strong joint R&D force. By jointly tackling technical difficulties, the cooperation will promote industrial upgrading, achieve resource sharing, and realize mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.

In terms of collaborative management, both parties will establish a scientific and efficient management mechanism. Individual project management will be conducted according to a project-driven approach, with dedicated project teams established to jointly develop project plans and strictly implement them. At the same time, a "DGS-Yizumi Semi-Solid Magnesium Alloy" project team is planned to be established, focusing on global market layout and carrying out in-depth cooperation.

In addition, both parties have established a mutual visit and exchange mechanism to strengthen personnel exchanges, information sharing, and training, providing strong support for the smooth progress of the project. The signing of this strategic cooperation agreement marks a new stage in the cooperation between the two parties, and in the future, it will create more possibilities in the field of magnesium alloy semi-solid injection molding.
