We are pleased to announce that a new state-of-the-art PVC coating line has officially come online at our Xiamen production base. The investment expands our manufacturing footprint, tightens quality control and shortens lead times for the custom and high-volume orders that define our coated-fabric business.
A New Chapter at Our Xiamen Base
The Xiamen facility has been the heart of Kezhibo’s coated-fabric production, and the new line represents a deliberate step up in capability rather than simple capacity addition. It is built around automated knife-coating technology where dosing, curing and gauging run as a closed-loop system. That means the coating weight applied to each metre of fabric is measured and corrected in real time, not just sampled at the end — a meaningful difference for customers who specify tight tolerances.
Capacity Gains and Shorter Lead Times
The new line increases our total daily output and strengthens our ability to serve growing demand from markets across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. With more parallel capacity, we can accept larger-volume orders without pushing out delivery dates for existing customers. Custom products — different colours, coating weights, surface finishes or widths — also benefit, because the line can be reconfigured and brought back into tolerance quickly.
- Higher total throughput across PVC, TPO and specialist coatings.
- More headroom for peak-season volume without compromising the standard queue.
- Shorter lead times for both stock grades and made-to-spec orders.
Precision Coating Controls Across Full Width
The equipment features advanced precision coating controls, delivering more consistent coating weight across the full width of the fabric — a direct benefit for customers who require strict quality tolerances in applications such as architectural membranes and premium banner fabrics. In a tensioned membrane, uneven coating can mean uneven weldability and uneven translucency; in a banner, it can mean inconsistent colour and curl. Closed-loop gauging flattens those variations, so a roll from the start of a run behaves like a roll from the end of it.
Built for Global Markets
Kezhibo supplies coated fabrics to distributors and OEMs on four continents, and the new line is sized for that reality. Combined with our existing quality system, the additional capacity lets us hold buffer stock of popular grades while still responding fast to bespoke requests. Partners in Europe and Southeast Asia, in particular, gain more predictable replenishment and the option of regional warehousing discussions as volumes grow.
Our Commitment to Supply Reliability
This investment is part of our ongoing commitment to production excellence, quality consistency and reliable supply. As our capacity grows, so does our ability to support your projects — today and in the years ahead. We hold ISO 9001-aligned quality controls across the plant, and the new line feeds directly into the same inspection and traceability routines that govern the rest of our output.
Quality System and Traceability
New capacity is only valuable if it is consistent capacity. The Xiamen plant operates an ISO 9001-aligned quality system in which every coated roll is logged by batch, coating lot and line, and sampled against the grade’s specification before it is released. The new line feeds the same inspection and traceability routines as the existing lines, so a customer receiving a mixed-order shipment sees one quality standard across all rolls. For applications with strict tolerances — architectural membranes, premium banners — this traceability is what turns a capacity increase into a reliability increase.
What This Means for Existing Partners
For customers already buying from Kezhibo, the immediate effects are shorter quoted lead times and more flexibility on custom runs, with no change to the grades or quality they already qualify. For new partners evaluating the plant, the additional line makes it practical to trial a custom coating without displacing committed volume. We will publish updated lead-time guidance to our distribution partners as the line reaches stable utilisation, and our sales team can quote current availability on request.
Sustainability and Offcut Recovery
A larger, better-controlled line also reduces waste. Closed-loop gauging means fewer off-spec rolls, and the thermoplastic offcuts from slitting and welding can be collected and reprocessed rather than landfilled. While not every grade is recycled into the same product, the plant’s material-handling routines capture and segregate offcuts by type so they enter the appropriate recovery stream. For partners with published sustainability targets, Kezhibo can document the material yields and recovery approach behind a given order.
Planning Your Next Order
The practical upshot for buyers is straightforward: confirm your grade and any custom parameters early, share a forecast if you run repeat volumes, and let us quote lead time against current line utilisation. For custom coatings we recommend a signed-off sample and a short validation window before the full run, which the new line’s fast reconfiguration makes economical even at modest volumes. Our sales team can walk you through the grade table and the current production schedule.
For inquiries about product availability, custom coating specifications and delivery schedules, please contact our sales team. We will be happy to advise on the grade and lead time that fit your next order.
