About HFPANDA
Hefei Panda Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is a production-oriented manufacturer integrating the design, fabrication and sales of science museum exhibits, focused on R&D of mechanical and electromechanical interactive exhibits.
Our design, structural and electrical engineers and production/assembly/maintenance staff bring years of industry experience and mature exhibit know-how. Beyond a well-equipped workshop, we know the local science-exhibit supply chain and use it to deliver complete on-site solutions.
We practice transparent exhibit lists and pricing, itemized by manufacturing spec so clients can compare and choose with clarity.
As a member of the “Science Product Factory Alliance,” we combine alliance resources and technical strengths to support China’s science-popularization cause.
We follow the principle of “no general contracting, no bidding,” focusing on OEM of science exhibits and fully protecting client interests.
With 2000+ finished exhibits across 15 categories, regular orders are scheduled by agreed lead times and rush orders ship in 7 days, giving a stable delivery rhythm.
We employ 40 staff with a complete structure; pre-, mid- and post-sales each have clear roles. The leadership brings deep industry experience, university research backgrounds and senior technical titles.
In production we invest in what is beneath the surface: material selection and structural reinforcement, separated strong/weak wiring with protection, rounded edges on reachable parts, and per-unit power-on and motion re-inspection. Results are archived and delivered with usage and maintenance notes for easy venue management.
For family and young-visitor venues we combine interactive play facilities — climbing, slides and ball pits, water and sand, light-interaction walls — with science content, sized to children and built for frequent public use, balancing fun, safety and durability.
Beyond domestic venues we also serve overseas clients: English drawings, spec sheets, manuals and maintenance guides; seaworthy or airworthy crating with moisture protection; installation guidance and remote video support; electrical parts configured to local voltage and frequency. Certifications, testing and documentation responsibilities are confirmed in writing per project.
Why in Hefei
Exhibit quality is half workshop, half the soil it grows from. Hefei’s science-exhibit supply chain is among the most complete in China.
Hefei sits in central China — no coast, no border — yet holds a large national share of the science-exhibit industry. The root goes back more than fifty years, into the city’s bond with science.
In 1970 the University of Science and Technology of China moved to Hefei — a poor province giving its tightest resources to science. In 1983 the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory was approved; later the full superconducting tokamak and steady-state strong-field facilities followed, making Hefei one of China’s densest clusters of big science devices.
The ultra-high vacuum, precision mechanics, large electromagnets and automatic control needed for those devices overlap closely with what a reliable interactive exhibit needs. From the 1990s, technicians from local universities and institutes entered the exhibit industry and applied that capability to teaching equipment — Hefei’s exhibit industry grew from the science system, not from government investment promotion.
In 2003 Anhui issued China’s first provincial policy supporting the science industry; later came national platforms, trade shows and local venues. Local venues trained first, then exported to the nation — a chain from science source to exhibit workshop took shape.
Short supply radius
Sheet metal, machining, electrical control, multimedia, software and printing are all local or nearby — fewer long hauls, fewer subcontracting layers.
Talent source
Structural and electrical engineers mostly come from local universities and institutes. Making an exhibit move is easy; making it move and stay correct is the hard part.
Fuller supply
A complete local supply chain keeps standards, processes and labor ample, so lead time and cost stay predictable.
Data here are drawn from the Hefei Science Industry Development Plan (2023–2028), the Hefei All-Area Science System Implementation Plan, and public information from Hefei government and the Hefei Association for Science and Technology, and are used only to describe Hefei’s overall science-industry environment.
