Mr. Chen

Founder and CEO of MACHNIST, he started selling industrial blades at the age of 16 and has spent more than 22 years building a company focused on sheet metal machinery. Today, MACHNIST produces press brakes, laser cutting machines, and CNC shearing machines, with over 30 sales and service offices across China.

Background

As the Founder and CEO of MACHNIST, he began his career in the metalworking industry at just 16 years old, starting from the sales of industrial cutting blades. Through years of direct contact with factories and end users, he developed a deep understanding of customer needs, machine performance, and real production challenges.

Over the past 22 years, he has led MACHNIST to become a professional manufacturer of press brakes, laser cutting machines, and CNC shearing machines. With more than 30 branches across China, the company now provides machinery, technical support, and after-sales service to customers nationwide.

He believes that China’s manufacturing market is changing from basic production demand to high-quality development. Twenty years ago, customers mainly needed machines that could complete production tasks. Today, modern equipment must offer automation, better appearance, higher efficiency, stable performance, and greater production capacity.

Looking ahead, his goal for the next 10 years is to develop MACHNIST machines that can compete with leading international brands such as TRUMPF from Germany and AMADA from Japan.
