en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 30th, Located in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, China, the Hangcha Shiqiao Science and Technology Park officially commenced operation earlier this year. This science and technology park, evolved from traditional factory buildings, covers a total area of approximately 33,000 square meters with a total floor area of about 140,000 square meters. The former Hangcha Shiqiao factory site has been transformed into a modern science and technology complex consisting of 8 buildings, focusing on the coordinated development of the smart manufacturing and new energy industries.
In the late 1990s, Hangcha Forklift Factory relocated from Tiyuchang Road to Shiqiao, achieving a leap in annual forklift production from several thousand units to over thirty thousand units here. As Hangcha's manufacturing operations moved to Lin'an, the old factory site began its renovation and upgrading in 2022. Today, Building A in the park serves as the headquarters of Hangcha Group, Building B houses Guozhi Intelligent, and Building E focuses on the intelligent AI field. The park is nearly fully leased. It is planned to house five core bases, covering an entire chain innovation ecosystem including intelligent logistics equipment R&D, the new energy forklift industry, and marketing, R&D, and manufacturing.
The park is located at No. 398 Shiqiao Road, Gongshu District, approximately 800 meters from the Qilun Square Station of Metro Line 3, surrounded by an expressway network. As a core carrier of Hangcha Group's digitalization and new energy strategy, the park leverages its "chain leader" advantage to promote the agglomeration and collaborative innovation of enterprises in smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, new energy, and robotics. In terms of facilities, the park offers high-standard office spaces, talent apartments, conference centers, restaurants, fitness centers, rooftop gardens, and plans to introduce an international brand hotel. For technology enterprises aligned with Gongshu District's industrial development direction, the park provides priority entry arrangements and relevant policy support.
A relevant person in charge of the park stated that attracting enterprises focuses on synergy with Hangcha's main business industrial chain, aiming to build a complementary and symbiotic industrial ecology platform. An AI education enterprise from Shandong has officially settled in, planning to relocate its core business to Hangzhou. The transformation from traditional production workshops to science and technology R&D spaces, as seen in the Hangcha Shiqiao Science and Technology Park, reflects the regional practice of Hangzhou's transition from traditional manufacturing to smart manufacturing.
