To further enhance the influence of Ningbo brands, in recent years the Ningbo Municipal Development and Reform Commission, jointly with the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Bureau of Commerce, Market Supervision Administration, and Service Industry Development Bureau, has initiated the compilation of the "Ningbo Brand Excellence Cases" series. Edited by the Ningbo Brand Development Promotion Association, this publication documents 100 representative cases of outstanding Ningbo brands, promoting corporate experience and achievements in brand R&D, cultivation, and promotion, thereby advancing brand development in our city. The selected 100 brands span categories including manufacturing, services, commerce, regional geographical indications, and cultural tourism, serving as influential benchmarks within each industry and demonstrating Ningbo's high-quality brand development.
The official WeChat account of the Ningbo Brand Development Promotion Association will showcase these 100 outstanding cases, enabling more local enterprises to learn from successful practices and further elevate brand value, discourse power, and influence.
Today we explore the brand development journey of Ningbo Climboo CNC Machinery Co., Ltd.
CNC machine tools were invented by American inventor John Parsons in the last century. As the "mother machines" of manufacturing and a crucial foundation for the national economy, they equip various sectors with transformative capabilities, generating amplified economic and social effects.
In recent years, China has prioritized the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry, implementing significant policies. Industry revenue soared from 300 billion yuan in 2010 to 3 trillion yuan in 2020, achieving equipment intelligence and automated production. Brands have played an indispensable role in this process, establishing China's reputation as the "Mold Hometown."
Established in 2014 and headquartered in Ningbo's Southern Coastal New Area in the Yangtze River Delta region, Ningbo Climboo CNC Machinery Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 10 million yuan and total investments reaching 60 million yuan. With 51 employees, the company specializes in R&D and manufacturing of multi-axis high-end CNC machine tools including five-axis horizontal machining centers and six-axis milling-drilling composite machines, providing solutions for complex surface processing.
Guided by the philosophy that "innovation is the soul of enterprise," the company established an efficient R&D team at its founding. Through bold innovation and continuous improvement, it has developed numerous novel structural designs for CNC machine tools, granting its products distinct functional and performance advantages. This accelerated the company's rise to industry leadership.
Despite its relatively recent establishment, the company has achieved rapid growth. Implementing strict quality management certified by ISO9001 standards and adopting comprehensive digital management systems, it ensures product quality.
To date, the company holds over 10 nationally approved patents with several invention patents pending. Its "Double C" brand trademark is consistently applied to all machines. To better serve customer needs, the company offers contract machining services alongside equipment manufacturing, simultaneously promoting its machinery. Annual output value has grown steadily: 8 million yuan (2016) → 15 million yuan (2017) → 20+ million yuan (2018) → projected 30 million yuan (2019).
Ningbo Climboo CNC Machinery Co., Ltd. stands as Zhejiang's exclusive manufacturer of large multi-axis milling-drilling composites. Its products serve leading mold manufacturers across the Yangtze River Delta, including Youcheng (China) Mold, Ningbo Fangzheng Mold, Zhejiang Saihao Mold, Hangzhou Kaimei Mold, Shanghai Weihong Mould, Kunshan Robot Mould, and Chengdu Aerospace Mould. The newly developed dual-spindle machine with gear-driven rotary table achieves the industry's leading rotational angle accuracy in China, significantly expanding processing capabilities and enhancing mold manufacturing efficiency. This series earned the 2018 "Provincial First-of-its-Kind Equipment" honor.
The company has received numerous accolades including "Ningbo High-Tech Enterprise," "Group Member of China Die & Mould Industry Association," "Member of Shanghai Mould Industry Association," and "Member of China Mould Production Base."
While industrialized nations like Europe, America, and Japan completed CNC industrialization decades ago, China—starting in the 1980s—remains in development. Despite enormous market potential, domestic CNC technology lags in high-speed efficiency and precision. As China advances through mid-industrialization, industries like coal, automotive, steel, real estate, building materials, machinery, electronics, and chemicals drive surging demand for CNC equipment. Currently, China's CNC technology maxes out at largely symbolic five-axis systems, with all higher-axis machines imported. Significant gaps persist in multi-point linkage technology.
Against this backdrop, Ningbo Climboo CNC Machinery Co., Ltd. commits to developing high-end CNC products. Its mature equipment portfolio includes six-axis deep-hole drilling machines (SK6Z-1210, SK6Z-2012, SK6Z-3015, SK6Z-2015) and five-axis horizontal machines (JD-6050, JD-3020), backed by substantial R&D expertise and technical reserves in premium CNC manufacturing.
