1. What is the founding story of your company and how did you gain your place in the sector?

Established in 1997, Fujian Province Hualong Machinery Co., Ltd. traces its roots back to the Dounan Machinery Factory, founded in 1990. From humble beginnings as a small workshop, we have grown into a leading manufacturer of stone mining and processing machinery, driven by innovation, quality, and a commitment to customer success.

 

Our journey began with a vision to revolutionize the stone industry by introducing advanced, reliable, and cost-effective machinery. In the early 1990s, China’s stone sector was dominated by manual labor and outdated equipment. Recognizing this gap, we invested heavily in R&D, collaborating with top-tier engineers and adopting cutting-edge technologies like CNC systems and waterjet cutting.

 

A pivotal moment came in 2005 when we launched our first CNC stone bridge saw, which quickly gained traction in domestic and international markets. By 2010, we had expanded our product line to include quarry cutting machines, block cutting machines, polishing machines, CNC bridge cutting machines, engraving machines, and waterjet cutting systems, earning recognition as a “National High-Tech Enterprise” and accumulating 87 patents.

 

Our success is built on three pillars: 

1. Innovation: We integrate Italian CNC systems and Pegasus software into our machines, ensuring precision and efficiency.
2. Quality: With ISO 9001 and CE certifications, our products meet global standards, earning trust from clients in over 100 countries.
3. Customer-Centric Approach: We provide tailored solutions, from OEM/ODM services to 24/7 multilingual technical support.

 

Today, Hualong Machinery is a trusted name in the stone industry, serving clients from the USA to the Middle East. Our story is one of perseverance, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of excellence—a journey that continues to shape the future of stone processing worldwide.
