TSM Technology: When Metal Meets Craftsmanship

In 2011, Hong Kong was in a sultry summer. Several young engineers crowded into a small conference room in a Kowloon office building, with a world map spread out on the table covered with red and blue marks. They were arguing about a seemingly unrealistic idea: Can China-made special metals become the first choice for the world's high-end industries? This passionate dream born in the afternoon was the starting point of TSM.

Chapter 1: The distance from drawings to workshops (2011-2015)
From a trading company in Hong Kong to a modern factory in Shaanxi, it took us four years to complete the transformation from "selling metals" to "making metals". When TSM was registered in Hong Kong, we only had three computers and a head full of metal knowledge.

In the winter of 2015, when the Baoji production base was put into production, the technical team debugged the equipment in the workshop at minus ten degrees, and the white mist exhaled was intertwined with the steaming heat of the titanium ingots - this was the romance of metal craftsmen. The steaming heat not only warmed the workshop but also strengthened our determination to "move from trade to manufacturing".

Chapter 2: Tickets to the World Stage (2016-2020)
At the 2016 Singapore Air Show, our 9-square-meter booth was crowded with curious visitors. We brought carefully polished samples, but encountered expected doubts. "Can China make aviation-grade titanium?" Faced with the French buyer's difficulties, our technical director did not defend himself, but took out the testing equipment he carried with him to demonstrate on the spot. When the data results showed that it fully met the standards, the other party's surprised expression became the best advertisement. In 2018, we finally won the first aerospace certification, and the sales volume exceeded 60 million that year.

Chapter 3: Craftsmanship Innovation in the Intelligent Era (2021-Present)

Nowadays, when you walk into our Baoji workshop, you will see this scene: a post-90s engineer is debugging the latest intelligent flaw detection equipment, while at the next station, a master with 20 years of work experience is using his experience to judge the forging temperature of a piece of nickel alloy. This collision of tradition and innovation has doubled our nickel alloy production capacity in three years. When we expanded our production capacity in 2023, we deliberately kept the original old rolling mill, which reminded us not to forget our original intention. We believe that good metal can speak. When you hold TSM's products in your hands, you touch not only the cold materials but also the persistent pursuit of metal art by a group of craftsmen.

Why do more than 300 companies around the world choose to work with us?

Because we understand: what flows in chemical pipelines is not only the medium, but also the safety commitment; what is carried on the aircraft frame is not only the parts, but also the trust of life. This understanding allows us to devote our efforts to every 0.01 mm precision and adhere to integrity in every test report.

This is the story of TSM Technology - a metal story, but also about people. When you use our products, you get not only a piece of precisely calculated alloy but also a promise written by a group of engineers with professionalism and enthusiasm. On this road of pursuing perfection, we are still writing new chapters.

 

 Milestone Timeline

The story behind the key milestones

On the eve of the Baoji plant's production in 2015, the founding team encountered a major challenge: abnormal ripples appeared on the surface of the first batch of titanium ingots. The technical team worked continuously for 72 hours and finally found that it was caused by the pH value deviation of 0.3 in the cooling water. This lesson allowed us to establish the "three-level water quality monitoring system" that is still in use today.

When applying for AS9100 certification in 2018, the auditor pointed out that we lacked the "supplier special process confirmation" procedure. For this reason, we sorted out the process verification reports of 187 suppliers overnight. This 3-centimeter-thick document is now kept in the company's exhibition hall, reminding us of the importance of quality control.

During the capacity expansion in 2023, the international nickel price fluctuated. We withstood the pressure and did not lower the raw material standards. Instead, we added an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for 100% incoming material testing. This persistence has won us a long-term contract from a major Japanese customer.
