Manufacturing Capability

One Facility. Every Critical Step.

FOWALL is a curtain wall manufacturer that owns every critical step of production. We don't buy profiles from anonymous suppliers or hand assembly to subcontractors - we cast, extrude, finish, machine, assemble, test, and pack in one facility.

 The Zhaoqing Base

Built to Own the Whole Chain

FOWALL is the global facade brand of Daming Aluminum - a manufacturing legacy that began in 1985. That legacy is built out at the Zhaoqing base: a 550,000 m2 integrated manufacturing park commissioned in 2016, with 30,000 m2 dedicated to curtain wall production and the remainder covering aluminum profile and sheet manufacturing. The entire chain runs on one site - casting, extrusion, finishing, CNC machining, unitized assembly, quality inspection, and export packing.

Single point of accountability

No hand-offs between subcontractors. When you audit FOWALL, you audit the factory that actually makes your product.

One production schedule

All critical steps on one site means no cross-factory waiting, fewer logistics risks.

Full traceability

Material records run from the aluminum ingot to the finished unit, on one quality system.

 Our Process

Eight Critical Steps. One Roof. No Outsourcing.

Every FOWALL unitized curtain wall passes through eight in-house production stages - with no outsourced links and no anonymous subcontractors. Each stage is staffed, equipped, and quality-gated by FOWALL, and documented for your project file.
Casting

Step 1

Casting - Alloy Control Starts at the Ingot

Primary aluminum billet is received, inspected, and alloy-formulated in-house before any profile is extruded. Chemistry is controlled and recorded from the ingot, so material traceability begins at the very first stage - not somewhere down the supply chain.

Extrusion

Step 2

Extrusion - Precision in the Press

Multi-tonnage extrusion presses spanning up to 3,600 tonnes shape profiles to tight dimensional tolerances. Die design and press selection are matched to each profile's section complexity, so every meter of profile fits the system it belongs to.

Finishing - Anodizing and PVDF

Step 3

Finishing - Anodizing & PVDF, Done In-House

Profiles are finished on in-house anodizing and PVDF fluorocarbon coating lines - the finishes specified on your drawings, applied under controlled bath and booth conditions. FOWALL was the first Chinese manufacturer to supply PVDF curtain wall profiles to the Japanese market.

Shop drawings and fabrication design

Step 4

Shop Drawings & Fabrication Design

With finished profiles in hand, FOWALL's engineering team develops shop drawings and fabrication details specific to your project - confirming joinery, gasket seats, drainage paths, and dimensional tolerances before any machining begins.

CNC fabrication

Step 5

CNC Fabrication - Machining That Makes the System Perform

Unit frames are machined on CNC centers for precise joinery, gasket seats, and drainage details. This machining accuracy is what allows the system to deliver the air- and water-tightness it was tested for.

Unitized assembly and sealing

Step 6

Factory Assembly & Sealing

Unitized units are assembled, sealed, and gasketed in dedicated halls under controlled conditions. Stick-built and other systems are pre-fabricated and quality-checked to the same standard here.

QC inspection

Step 7

QC Inspection - Every Stage Feeds a Gate

Dimensional and performance sampling is built into every stage, not just at the end. Profiles and finished assemblies are checked against project drawings and in-house performance standards before release.

Export packing

Step 8

Export Packing - Seaworthy, Container-Planned

Finished units are packed to seaworthy standards - timber crates, steel racks, and planned container loading that protects corners, gaskets, and glass across ocean transit. Your units arrive the way they left the assembly hall.

 Equipment

Equipment That Delivers Tolerance

Claims are only as good as the machines behind them. FOWALL's curtain wall production is backed by Daming Aluminum's group-wide manufacturing scale - including casting, extrusion, finishing, and CNC lines feeding directly into FOWALL's own assembly halls.

 Quality

Quality Is a System, Not a Promise

FOWALL's own quality system is certified, not claimed: ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management. In-house testing covers the performance your facade will be specified against - air permeability, water tightness, wind load resistance, thermal performance (U-value), acoustic insulation, and salt-spray corrosion resistance.

40+ Years of Manufacturing Legacy

Backed by Daming Aluminum Group - a 40+ year aluminum manufacturer behind the FOWALL curtain wall brand.

National High-tech Enterprise

China Green Building Materials product certification and National High-tech Enterprise recognition at group level.

National Standard Co-Drafter

Participates in drafting GB/T 5237 (architectural aluminum extrusions) and GB/T 26014 (decorative aluminum profiles) - the same standards FOWALL products are measured against.
