This is the second order from this partner, and the first to be executed directly by the SECO/WARWICK Group’s Chinese subsidiary.
The new brazing line features a 1,600 mm wide belt and includes a preheating chamber, a radiant-heated brazing furnace, an air-cooled chamber, a final cooling chamber, and a control system.
“This is a very important project, not only due to the renewed trust from our Partner, but also because the new line will replace a solution that has been operating in this plant since 2005. The current investment is a step towards increasing production efficiency, improving energy efficiency, and implementing modern cooling solutions. It also proves that our equipment is durable, reliable and evolves with the needs of the electromobility market,”
says Piotr Skarbiński, Vice President of the Aluminum and CAB Products Segment at SECO/WARWICK Group.
EV/CAB – Quality Results for the Electromobility Sector
The controlled atmosphere brazing line is a hybrid gas-electric heating solution that meets the latest requirements for precise temperature control, thermal efficiency and environmentally friendly production. The cooling systems have been optimised for energy efficiency and process uniformity. The entire line is based on SECO/WARWICK’s tried-and-tested standard design, which ensures a long service life and consistent performance in industrial conditions.
This new solution will improve the logistics and quality of component production and replace the previous SECO/WARWICK line, which operated without failure for two decades.
The Electric Vehicle Market in China – Dynamics and Perspectives
China remains the global leader in the production and sale of electric vehicles. In 2024, global EV production reached 17.3 million units, 12.4 million of which were produced in China, accounting for over 70% of the global total. In May 2025, sales of Chinese EVs (BEV, PHEV and FCEV) reached 1.3 million, marking a year-on-year increase of 36.9% and achieving a market penetration rate of 48.7%. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that, by 2025, sales of electric cars will exceed one-quarter of all new cars sold globally, while in China, EVs are expected to achieve a market share of around 60% in passenger car sales. By 2030, global EV sales could reach 39 million units per year.
Intensive expansion in the Chinese market, supported by subsidies, technological innovations and the development of local leaders such as BYD, NIO and Xiaomi, is causing global changes in supply chains. Chinese companies already dominate the production of EV components and batteries. Suppliers of production equipment such as SECO/WARWICK play a crucial role in ensuring quality and production capacity in the face of such dynamic growth.
