Company History:

Our company-Shanghai Qifan Machinery Co., Ltd- acquired its name from Prof. Bao Qifan (more…), a mechanical and logistics products manufacturer in China, also widely known as the 'Cargo-Handling King' in material handling field.
In the early 1980s, the cargo was handled manually at that time in China. In order to improve working conditions, Mr. Bao Qifan, invented a system to handle wood packaging. His system more than doubled the efficiency of local workers. When the wood handling system proved successful, Bao turned to building grabs for the handling of pig iron, which was also successful.
With his breakthrough inventions and under the support of All China Federation of Trade Union and Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, Shanghai Qifan Technology & Industry Company was established in June, 1993. After that, Shanghai Qifan Machinery Co., Ltd. was restructured and founded in January, 2011, which was specialized in developing and manufacturing all kinds of new grabs.
Now, our headquarters is located in the heartland of North Sichuan Road, Shanghai, and factory located in the Shanghai Qingpu Industrial Zone with an area of more than 10,000 m2. Our Company’s annual revenue: 80,000,000RMB.
