Wanhua Group has placed an order with Sunds Fibertech for 9 PressBoosters Generation 4, with the first three to be delivered in December 2025.
Wanhua Group is China’s second-largest panelboard manufacturer, with an annual production capacity of 5 million cubic meters and 15 production lines. The initial batch of three units will be delivered in Q4, 2025, with the remaining six scheduled for installation in 2026.
“This expanded partnership is a direct result of the outstanding performance demonstrated by the first PressBooster installed at Wanhua’s Linyi facility, which has been running successfully since March 2025,” said Steven Zhang, managing director of Sunds Fibertech China.
With this significant order, Sunds Fibertech further strengthens its position in steam mat pre-heating systems for the panelboard industry.
The PressBooster Generation 4 was launched at Ligna 2025 with a focus on performance, quality and easy maintenance. The mat pre-heating system is designed to boost production capacity by increasing mat temperature before it enters the press. By injecting steam directly into the mat, the system enables higher press speeds and significantly enhances overall plant efficiency.
Sunds says capacity can be increased by 10–30%, depending on board thickness.
