WHO WE ARE
THE MARKET CHANGES. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT.
We hold operating assets, not paper positions. Every business in our portfolio manufactures.
A part that carries load will fail in fatigue eventually. Our work is making sure it never fails in service. That problem has not changed in a century, and it does not care whether the part is bolted to — a trailer axle, a brake disc, an airframe, a robot joint.
Our operating companies forge, cast, form and machine these components. Our upstream investments secure the material that goes into them.
Material verified at melt. Castings inspected under fluorescent penetrant. Finished components cycled on our own benches — the same discipline whether the part ends up on a highway or in the air.

Manufacturing
Our holdings give us direct control over four core manufacturing processes. Material specification, capacity allocation and cost structure are internal decisions — not supplier negotiations.
01
Forging
Where the load path matters.
Forging is where our material capability is most concentrated. Closed-die, open-die and flow-forming operations run across aluminum, magnesium and steel, producing near-net-shape components where grain flow, fatigue life and weight have to be resolved together.
Unlike a casting, a forged part carries continuous grain flow that follows the component geometry. That flow is what sets fatigue life at the stress concentrations — which is why we macro-etch samples from every production lot, not only at first article.
- PROCESSES
- Closed-die, open-die, flow-forming, heat treatment and finish machining
- MATERIALS
- Aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, carbon and alloy steels
- APPLICATIONS
- Wheels, hubs, flanges, housings, motor housings, arms, brackets and structural forgings for commercial vehicle, passenger car, eVTOL and robotics platforms
02
Casting
Qualified to four standards, not one.
We run investment casting, shell molding and resin sand with melting in-house — process selected by geometry and volume, not by what a single shop happens to own. Complex, thin-wall geometry goes to investment casting; dimensionally critical mid-volume parts go to shell molding; large structural castings go to resin sand.
Every grade we produce is qualified to its equivalent under ASTM, EN, JIS and GB, and investment castings are fluorescent-penetrant inspected in-house before release. For customers shipping into more than one region, that removes a full requalification cycle per market.
- PROCESSES
- Investment (lost-wax), shell mold, resin sand, in-house melting, heat treatment, machining and NDT
- MATERIALS
- Ductile iron, gray iron, carbon and alloy cast steel, stainless steel
- APPLICATIONS
- Brake drums, hubs, housings, brackets, gearbox cases, valve bodies and structural castings from sub-kilogram investment parts to large sand castings
03
Structural Steel
From section to welded assembly.
Frame rails, crossmembers and axle beams are where material selection quietly decides warranty cost. We form section, tube and plate, weld and coat structural assemblies in-house, and we select material by weld-zone fatigue behavior rather than base-metal strength alone.
On axle beams, the conventional choice is 27SiMn. We specify HSLA instead: its lower carbon equivalent produces a narrower, tougher heat-affected zone at the bracket welds, which is where beam fatigue failures actually initiate. Base-metal strength is not the governing variable; the weld is.
- PROCESSES
- Section and tube forming, plate cutting and bending, robotic welding, machining, e-coat and powder
- MATERIALS
- HSLA, carbon and alloy structural steels
- APPLICATIONS
- Axle beams, frame rails, crossmembers, suspension hangers, subframes, brackets, robotics frames and test fixtures
04
Precision Gearing
Most suppliers buy their gearing. We cut ours.
A gearbox is decided by its gears. Service life is set by tooth geometry, case depth and lubrication — not by the housing around them, and not by the platform the housing is bolted to.
Most suppliers in this category buy their gear sets from sub-tiers. We produce ours: hobbing, shaping, grinding, carburizing and final inspection all sit inside the group. When a gear set fails in the field, we can trace it to a heat lot and a hobbing setup — and change it.
- PROCESSES
- Hobbing, shaping, gear grinding, carburizing and hardening, tooth-profile inspection
- MATERIALS
- Case-hardening and through-hardening alloy steels
- APPLICATIONS
- Case-hardening and through-hardening alloy steels
INVESTOR RELATIONS
Capital is the leastuseful thing we contribute.
We invest in established manufacturers — already in production, already qualified with real customers. What they lack is rarely funding. It is a route into markets that demand certifications they have never been asked for.
That route is not one market. North America runs on SAE and DOT. Europe on ECE, EN and TÜV. Australia on ADR. Southeast Asia on national schemes that differ country by country. Latin America on relationships and local stock.
Few manufacturers satisfy more than one. We operate across all of them.

PORTFOLIO
Operating companies under group governance, listed by process.
Nanbei International Holdings holds equity positions in four manufacturing companies across forging, casting, structural steel and precision gearing. Each position carries process authority: material specification, capacity commitment and quality release criteria are set at group level, not delegated to the operating company.
| Company | Location | Process | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integrated casting and structural steel manufacturer | Shandong, PRC | Casting · Structural Steel | Majority |
| Brake components manufacturer | Zhejiang, PRC | Precision Gearing · Machining | Majority |
| Aluminum forging company | Zhejiang, PRC | Forging | Strategic majorityLISTED |
| Magnesium forging company | Shanxi, PRC | Forging | Strategic minority |
Majority
Controlling interest with board majority and consolidated reporting.
Strategic majority
Controlling interest in a company with other significant shareholders; board control exercised alongside governance obligations to minority holders.
Strategic minority
Non-controlling interest with board representation, supply agreement and technical governance rights.
