  • Recent Developments at Wilfersails: A Transformational Journey

    • 2019: Fueled by rapid growth, Peng Bifa sought an optimal development base for Wilfersails. Zijin Industrial Park's strategic location and expansive potential caught his attention.

    • 2020: Wilfersails officially settled in Zicheng Industrial Park, constructing a factory aligned with advanced sail manufacturing technology.

    • January 2022: Peng Bifa relocated the production base to Zijin County, unveiling a sprawling factory spanning nearly 20,000 sq. meters. This move positioned Wilfersails as the world's third-largest sail manufacturing production base, introducing cutting-edge fibre-laying technology exceeding 50 meters.

    • Ongoing Expansion: The second phase of the Wilfersails Factory is presently underway. Swift coordination from Zijin's authorities facilitated the allocation of land for this expansion. Construction commenced in December of the preceding year, with plans to cover an expansive 45,200 sq. meters upon completion. This expansion aims not only to facilitate larger sail production but also propels Wilfersails toward becoming the world's second-largest sail manufacturer.
