EUROGUSS 2026 Preview | Stefan on LEAP and China–Europe Synergy

On 13th to 15th January 2026, the leading die casting show—EUROGUSS will be held in Nuremberg, Germany. YIZUMI (Booth: Hall 4, 258), together with LEAP Series High-End Die Casting Machine and Smart Die Casting Manufacturing Cell will showcase China–Europe manufacturing expertise and strategic commitment to the European market.

As the exhibition approaches, Mr. Stefan Fritsche, Deputy General Manager and CSO of the YIZUMI Die Casting Machine Division grants an interview, revealing the technological philosophy behind LEAP Series, the global collaborative innovation model as well as the transformation from equipment supplier to a co-creating partner—providing constantly growing competitive solutions for European and global customers.

01.「LEAP Series」

A Systemic Breakthrough, Not a Parameter Contest

Technology innovation lies in systematically finding-synergies and continuous evolution, not single metrics. At the beginning of the interview, Mr. Fritsche highlights the R&D philosophy of the LEAP series. It is a philosophy that has enabled LEAP to establish a highly integrated machine system with self-controlled technology and a performance comparable to leading global models.

With YIZUMI's self-developed advanced and highly integrated hydraulic system and dedicated valve assembly, the LEAP series provides highest reliability and efficiency in the die casting process. Powered by ORCA, an intelligent control system developed on Beckhoff’s cutting-edge hardware, LEAP series achieves precise closed-loop control across the entire die casting process.

“We are dedicated to simplifying complex processing.” Mr. Fritsche notes, “we provide an intuitive and user-friendly operation experience, while maintaining extremely high repeatability and process stability.” This makes the LEAP series excellent in high-end applications involving thin-walled structures and high-integrity components, delivering a top-end overall casting performance.

02.「China–Europe Synergy」

Not mere adding, but a fusion of innovation

YIZUMI's unique global R&D network and collaborative teams greatly support technology breakthroughs. Mr. Fritsche states: “YIZUMI is committed to building higher overall equipment efficiencies (OEE) for our customers.” It requires us to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology with a highly optimized, cost-effective supply chain and a world class localized after sales service.

Under this philosophy, YIZUMI has developed an efficient China-Europe collaborative R&D model: While the European engineering team focuses on core technology structure and advanced performance designs, especially for the R&D of hydraulic systems and control systems; the local team in China is dedicated to rapid industrialization of cutting-edge technologies based on a highly optimized supply chain, and embedded lean manufacturing.

The full integration of innovation and efficiency ensures the advancement and integrity of our technological solutions with significant cost advantages. Mr. Fritsche emphasizes: “The 1+1＞2 synergy enables us to respond agilely to global market demands, delivering solutions that combine European engineering excellence with Chinese manufacturing efficiency and cost-effectiveness”. The future of high-end die casting equipment is being reshaped.

03.「Value Delivery」

Beyond Equipment, Empowering the Entire Lifecycle

Focused on firm product competitiveness, YIZUMI expands its own competitive edge to full-cycle service. Mr. Fritsche shares his insight: “customers choose us for high-performance equipment as well as localized and competent after sales support ensuring a reliable and high utilization of our solutions.

This insight guides strategic upgrades of the YIZUMI service system—shifting from a traditional product supplier to an integrated solution partner focused on value co-creation. Leveraging the structure of the International Business Division (IBD), YIZUMI has established technical centers and localized spare-part warehouses in European market such as Germany, Italy and Hungary to provide a rapid-respond technical support network. Meanwhile, tight collaboration with selected European partners further extends the scope and depth of services.

Otherwise, YIZUMI Product and Process Application Center (PPAC) plays an important role as “value generating laboratory platform”. Customers can carry out mold trials and casting process validation under actual production conditions and optimize parameters together with YIZUMI’s engineering team. Mr. Fritsche states: “the PPAC significantly reduces customers’ production risk. More importantly, it establishes long-term partnerships based on technical trust.”

04.「EUROGUSS」

Technology and a Future of Shared Success

Mr. Fritsche has great expectations for the upcoming EUROGUSS 2026: “at the time, YIZUMI will showcase a LEAP Series Die Casting Machine embedded in a fully automatic cell solution. This illustrates the future of industrial engineering. We aim to clearly convey to the European market—YIZUMI is a technology leader with cost-effective, and reliable solutions for our customers.

Amid the European die casting industry’s challenges—EV lightweighting, sustainability, and digital transformation, Mr. Fritsche believes these challenges present opportunities: “They demand innovative technical solutions.” Leveraging on Europe-China synergies, YIZUMI can respond quickly to deliver solutions that combine compliance with Europe’s strict technical standards and superior total value.

We hold deep respect for the European die casting industry’s rich tradition and exceptional craftsmanship. Meanwhile, we firmly believe that our innovation supports the industry to move forward. At the EUROGUSS 2026, what we showcase goes beyond products and technologies—it is a vision of a shared, win-win future. YIZUMI anticipates to co-shape the future of higher efficiency and sustainable die casting industry with European partners.
