The designed annual production capacity is 400,000 units (sets), and the annual output value is expected to be 3 billion yuan after reaching full capacity, creating a modern benchmark factory that integrates intelligence, greenness, and intensification.
The physical distance from Great Wall Motors' Tianjin production base is only 300 meters, truly realizing "5-minute matching" and accurately matching vehicle production needs.
Many leading vehicle companies such as Great Wall Motors and more than 200 auto parts supporting companies have gathered in Tianjin Economic Development Zone to form a complete automotive industry ecosystem with complete categories, collaboration and efficiency.
Power is exerted on the "chain" and energy is stored on the "new". Recently, Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd.'s new Mander thermal system and photovoltaic project (hereinafter referred to as Great Wall Motors Mander Tianjin Factory) was put into production in the Tianjin Economic Development Zone. The successful commissioning of this project will further improve Great Wall Motors' local parts supply chain layout, strengthen supply chain synergy, and inject new momentum into the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei automobile industry. From the precise positioning of the fuel era to the in-depth transformation of the new energy era, our city has actively promoted the development of the automobile industry toward intelligence, innovation, and greenness, and the "chain" has created new excitement.
Robotic arms are waving, and smart production lines are busy… Entering the Great Wall Motors Mande Tianjin factory, the two specialized production plants of optoelectronics and thermal systems are stepping up the production of core components such as full-vehicle lamps, air-conditioning assemblies, and cooling modules. There will also be 1,400 new employees. The project has a total investment of approximately 1 billion yuan, covers an area of approximately 100,000 square meters, and has a designed annual production capacity of 400,000 units (sets). After the project reaches full production, the annual output value is expected to reach 3 billion yuan, further activating the industrial development potential.
Mande Electronics Co., Ltd., headquartered in Baoding, Hebei Province, is one of the four major parts companies of Great Wall Motors. The Great Wall Motors Mande Tianjin factory that was put into production this time is located next to the Great Wall Motors Tianjin production base.
"Before, we needed to supply goods from Baoding to Great Wall Motors Tianjin production base. Now, the physical distance between Great Wall Motors Mande Tianjin factory and Great Wall Motors Tianjin production base is only 300 meters, truly realizing '5-minute matching', which not only significantly reduces logistics and transportation costs, improves inventory turnover efficiency, but also improves corporate operational efficiency and rapid market response capabilities." Mande Auto Parts (Tianjin) ) Co., Ltd. Deputy General Manager Zhang Guohua said, "From the design stage, the factory has been deeply adapted to Great Wall Motor's vehicle technical standards. All products are developed and built based on Great Wall Motor's 'Guiyuan' platform. We have also adopted an operating model of 'zero-distance supporting, intelligent production, and platform-based collaboration' to accurately match vehicle production needs and ensure high compatibility between products and vehicles."
"Tianjin, as an important fulcrum of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei automobile industry cluster, has a complete auto parts supporting system, a mature manufacturing development environment, and convenient transportation advantages, which provide an industrial foundation and development guarantee for the implementation of the project." Zhang Guohua told reporters, "Great Wall Motors Mande's Tianjin factory has received efficient services and precise support from relevant departments in Tianjin from project establishment to construction. Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone has established a special service team to coordinate and promote various tasks throughout the process, achieving the goal of 'starting construction as soon as the land is acquired, and putting into production upon completion'."
At present, Great Wall Motors' Mande Tianjin factory is in the early stages of production and will actively build a modern benchmark factory that integrates intelligence, greenness and intensification.
Zhang Guohua said: "Our first task is to advance the production capacity ramp in an orderly manner, gradually release production capacity according to the established plan, and simultaneously launch the full-process quality control mechanism to lay a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale production. It is expected that in the second half of this year, the second phase planning equipment of the thermal system will be gradually put into production. At the same time, we also plan to introduce new electrical device products to continue to enhance the core competitiveness of the product."
Not long ago, the Wei brand high-end SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) model at Great Wall Motor's Tianjin production base was officially put into production. As one of the "chain master" companies in the regional automobile industry chain, Great Wall Motors has formed a complete industrial layout integrating production, supporting equipment, and research and development. The launch of Great Wall Motors' Mande Tianjin factory will further improve its supply chain system in the region and promote the continuous improvement of industrial synergy.
As one of the core locations for the city's automobile industry, Tianjin Economic Development Zone has gathered many leading vehicle companies such as FAW Toyota, FAW-Volkswagen, and Great Wall Motors, as well as more than 200 auto parts supporting companies, building a complete automotive industry ecosystem with complete categories, collaboration and efficiency. In 2025, Tianjin Economic Development Zone will achieve a vehicle output of 679,000 vehicles, accounting for 86% of the city's total vehicle output.
"Aiming at building a leading domestic automobile industry cluster, intensifying the transformation of new energy and intelligent connectivity, and improving the supporting capabilities of core components such as smart driving, smart cockpits, smart chassis, and sensors, we will continue to optimize the development ecology of the automobile industry, improve the full-chain supporting system, and promote the development of the regional automobile industry to a higher quality." said the relevant person in charge of Tianjin Economic Development Zone.
