Fronius committed to China's advanced manufacturing

Back in 1981, Fronius developed the world's first primary transistor-based inverter power source, which significantly reduced a welding machine's size and weight.

In 1998, the world's first fully digitally-controlled TPS power source was created at the company. The invention led to a digital revolution in the welding industry and enabled the sector to embark on a digitalization era featuring precise control.

In 2001, the company introduced the first laser-arc hybrid welding system to the industry.

The cold metal transfer technology developed by Fronius in 2005 was a milestone in the industry, as it enabled thin materials to be easily welded, and aluminum and steel joined for the first time — a unique selling point on the market for many years.

In 2013, the company launched the first intelligent welding system TPS/i, opening a new chapter in intelligent welding.

The system features many leading-edge technologies, improving automation and reducing human interference.

In 2014, Fronius produced the first portable power supply for manual metal arc welding.

With its products targeting high-end, advanced and sophisticated manufacturing sectors, Fronius aims to promote intelligent, efficient and high-quality production, Zhang said.

"We are devoted to providing our customers with a full range of intelligent welding solutions, satisfying them with improvements to our technologies and winning their hearts and word-of-mouth by addressing their needs to increase their output and reduce the rejection rate of products."

This year marks the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between China and Austria.

As a shining example of Austrian business, Fronius has a close bond with China. It entered the Chinese market in 1998 and established its only wholly-owned subsidiary on the Chinese mainland — Fronius Intelligent Equipment China, also known as Fronius China — in Shanghai in 2011.
