We hosted our second Global Distributor Conference, together with a new product launch event. After three years of development, the next-generation ETM electromechanical universal testing machine was officially introduced to the market.

We were again recognized in China as a Specialized and Innovative “Little Giant” enterprise. That year also marked the export of our first electromechanical universal testing machine for composite materials testing, representing a meaningful milestone in our overseas projects.

We completed the on-site acceptance and commissioning of the world’s first 2500 kN electromechanical universal testing machine at Erdemir Steel in Turkey. This project represented an important step forward in large-capacity electromechanical testing applications.

We were officially recognized in China as a Specialized and Innovative “Little Giant” enterprise, acknowledging our ongoing development in materials testing technology and equipment manufacturing.

Shanghai Wance officially began operations, expanding the company’s domestic presence and strengthening regional support for customers in East China.

We supplied several hydraulic universal testing machines equipped with dedicated fixtures to a customer in Hong Kong. The testing equipment was used for repeated tensile and compression testing of rebar couplers, supporting reliable structural performance evaluation.

The first 1000 kN servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine delivered overseas was successfully accepted at Showa Machinery in Japan.

The first rubber bearing compression and shear testing machine was exported overseas to South Africa. Around the same time, we delivered our first high-temperature pendulum impact testing machine to the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, expanding its use in materials impact testing applications.

With the official launch of Hubei Wance, our manufacturing and development footprint continued to grow, creating stronger support for large-scale production and long-term testing projects.

November 2016 marked the first Global Business Partners Sales Meeting, bringing together partners from different regions and strengthening cooperation across sales, service, and technical support.

A relocation to Hongliu Liuxi Industrial Park in 2015 allowed production capacity to expand, with workshop space reaching approximately 8000 square meters. In the same year, the first 5000 J pendulum impact testing machine was delivered to NUCOR in the United States, supporting high-energy impact testing requirements in the steel industry.

A 50000J drop weight impact testing machine and several other testing units were delivered to customers in Formosa Ha Tinh Steel (FHS). That same year, the Russian market was successfully entered, with products obtaining the required Russian type approval certification.

Overseas projects continued to move forward with the delivery of several hydraulic universal testing machines to steel plants in Bangladesh. Cooperation with plastic pipe manufacturers in Indonesia also started during this period, adding new plastics-related testing applications to our portfolio.

We took an important step into the international education and research sector by supplying 22 testing machines in a single shipment to autonomous universities in the Dominican Republic.

Wance was officially established in Shenzhen, marking the starting point of our work in materials testing equipment and testing solutions.
