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
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.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
06
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.
07
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.
08
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.| Equipment | Quantity & Spec | Capacity & Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum extrusion presses | 40+ lines · up to 3,600 T | High-tonnage extrusion for facade & window systems; custom die design; consistent alloy quality and dimensional precision |
| PVDF / powder coating line | AkzoNobel (Interpon) authorized · vertical powder coating line | 10/20/30-year coating performance guarantee; low-VOC process |
| Anodizing lines | In-house integrated line | Part of the vertical chain: melting → anodizing → coating |
| CNC machining centers | Precision fabrication workshop | Precision cutting & machining for curtain wall unit frames |
| Curtain wall production lines | Integrated curtain wall system production | 20 containers/month finished curtain wall units; 40–55 day standard lead time |
| Test & inspection equipment | Third-party verified performance testing | ASTM / CSA / NFRC / CE compliance, verified by third-party testing; QMS & PMO dual management systems |
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.
Backed by Daming Aluminum Group
As part of Daming Aluminum, FOWALL draws on group-level credentials built over 40+ years: recognition as a National High-tech Enterprise, China Green Building Materials product certification, and participation in drafting the national standards GB/T 5237 (wrought aluminum alloy extruded profiles for architecture) and GB/T 26014 (decorative aluminum profiles) — the same standards FOWALL's own products are measured against.
Capacity & Delivery
Capacity & Delivery — In the Language of Your Schedule
FOWALL ships 20 containers of finished curtain wall units per month, with standard lead times of 40–55 days confirmed per project against your construction program. Every shipment goes out to seaworthy export packing standards — so "how much can you deliver, and when does it ship?" gets a straight answer in your quotation.
