Hymson + Xteg Debut at Blechexpo 2025: Shaping a New Sheet Metal Ecosystem
From October 21 to 24, Blechexpo-one of the world’s premier events for the sheet metal processing industry-was held at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in Germany.
As a global leader in intelligent manufacturing for laser and automation equipment, Hymson showcased its new-generation high-speed solution tailored specifically for the European market-the HyLaser PRO series. Leveraging its core strengths in efficiency, stability, and intelligent operation, the product secured multiple customer purchase intentions on-site. At the same time, Hymson completed the strategic partnership signing with Xteg, a German provider of high-end laser cutting equipment and services. By combining the strengths of Chinese intelligent manufacturing and German service expertise, the partnership offers European customers a new approach to improving both quality and productivity.
Strategic Perspective: Driving a New Global Intelligent Manufacturing Ecosystem
The signing ceremony was held at the Hymson booth and attended by Mr. Zhao , Chairman of Hymson; Mr. Bai Yang, Head of the Eurasia Division; Mr. Zhu , General Manager of Hymson Laser Machinery; Mr. Harald Kunz, General Manager of Xteg; Mr. Christof Lehner, Director of European Sheet Metal Business; and Mr. Flavio Gregori, General Manager of Hymson Italy. The occasion was also witnessed by media representatives and business partners.
During the ceremony, Chairman Zhao provided an in-depth explanation of the Group’s global strategy and the key rationale behind the acquisition of Xteg. He stated that Hymson’s strategic priorities are centered on three key directions: globalization, intelligent development, and platform-based growth. With a global perspective, the company aims to transform from a “Chinese company” into a “global enterprise”; through technological innovation, it seeks to advance from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”; and by building an ecosystem, it intends to move from “equipment delivery” to “value co-creation.”
The acquisition of Xteg represents a critical move in this strategy, with its core purpose being the realization of complementary strengths and deep local integration:
Establishing a European stronghold: by building a presence in the German market, Hymson can directly respond to the needs of Europe’s mid-to-high-end sheet metal customers and rapidly enhance its global brand influence.
Achieving capability synergy: Xteg’s strong local industry resources, established brand presence, and service network complement Hymson’s globally advanced R&D capabilities and large-scale manufacturing strengths, creating differentiated competitiveness characterized by technical excellence and localized support.
Looking ahead, the integration of both parties will focus on collaboration and mutual growth, with deeper coordination in technology development and operational models.
On one hand, Hymson’s technological and productivity advantages will be deeply integrated with Xteg’s local service network, fully addressing the “last mile” in serving European customers and meeting their dual expectations of high-end performance and localized support. On the other hand, the two companies will jointly develop one-stop solutions better aligned with the upgrading and transformation needs of European sheet metal enterprises, delivering production equipment that balances performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
New Product Launch: Four Core Product Systems Address Key Challenges in European Sheet Metal Manufacturing
The European sheet metal industry is currently facing dual transformation in both technological advancement and service upgrading. Customer demand has shifted from standalone equipment procurement toward integrated solutions that strengthen overall competitiveness.
In response to this trend, Hymson and Xteg introduced four core product systems-HyLaser, HyTube, HyAuto, and HyTower-alongside a new brand identity at the exhibition, marking a substantive stage in their technical and market collaboration.
Among them, the HyLaser PRO high-speed series stood out as the central highlight of the exhibition. Designed to meet the needs of Europe’s mid-to-high-end manufacturing sector, it directly meets three core demands: precision, efficiency, and stability.
The series is an upgraded evolution of Hymson’s pioneering and best-selling high-speed machines. Across the product line, it is equipped with the Max Photonics Elite series laser source, providing a hardware foundation at an internationally advanced level. On the software side, it integrates the FSCUT intelligent control system, combining advanced functions such as intelligent piercing, automatic re-cutting, and path monitoring. These capabilities enable high-precision processing of complex workpieces while increasing production efficiency by more than 30%.(based on internal testing data)
At the same time, multiple built-in protection mechanisms ensure stable performance under prolonged, high-load operation, making the system well suited to the stringent standards of Europe’s leading industries, including automotive, aerospace, and precision manufacturing.
The success of this joint exhibition not only demonstrated the strong adaptability of Hymson’s products and technologies in the European market, but also validated the effectiveness of its dual-engine strategy of organic growth and external acquisition.
Going forward, Hymson will continue to advance the realization of cooperative value with Xteg. Starting with the HyLaser PRO series, the company aims to accelerate its expansion into Europe’s mid-to-high-end laser cutting market, while positioning itself as a productivity enhancement partner”-a new positioning that provides one-stop, end-to-end services for customers worldwide. Through this approach, Hymson seeks to deepen the integration of laser and automation technologies with global manufacturing and inject new momentum into the industry’s high-quality development.
