BlueRun Ventures Continues to Double Down, Zongwei Technology Closes Hundreds of Millions of RMB in Pre-C+ Round | BlueRun Portfolio

Recently, Zongwei Technology completed a Pre-C+ round worth hundreds of millions of RMB, its second capital injection within three months. The round was led by Sinovation Ventures and Xingtai Capital, with BlueRun Ventures continuing to invest as an existing shareholder. The proceeds will fund next-generation AI-driven motion control technology R&D and the buildout of a global operations network, further cementing Zongwei's leading position in intelligent magnetic drive systems.

Founded in 2020, Zongwei Technology specializes in magnetic drive technology. It has chosen a "difficult but correct" path. Once monopolized by overseas giants with prohibitively expensive line changeover costs, magnetic drive technology has been transformed through Zongwei's insistence on full-stack self-development into "industrial infrastructure" for Chinese manufacturing.

Zongwei has established itself as a technology leader through a series of industry firsts:

World first: Fusing heavy-load magnetic drive with switch-track technology, shattering the stereotype that "magnetic drives can only handle light loads." Zongwei's sTrak®-L1 intelligent logistics line boosts load capacity above 2,000 kg and integrates switch-track diverting technology, pioneering the application of magnetic drive to entire-factory logistics and enabling flexible scheduling of heavy workpieces.

Industry first: Obtaining authoritative MTBF (mean time between failures) certification of 100,000 hours, validating the reliability of magnetic drive conveying systems in extreme environments with hard data.

Algorithm first: Global planning and control. Moving beyond "point-to-point" control, Zongwei was first to implement swarm-intelligence-based scheduling algorithms, solving efficiency problems in large-scale mover coordination caused by generic congestion algorithms.

Ecosystem first: Building a full-stack, self-developed "technology closed loop." Zongwei is one of the few domestic companies to independently develop everything from controllers and servo drives to specialized motors, high-precision encoders, and supporting software. This complete mastery of underlying know-how allows Zongwei to respond to the customized demands of the new industrial era with greater speed.

Viewed through the lens of global industrial transformation, Zongwei's value extends far beyond "selling equipment."

The factory of the future will be a fusion of "computing power + transport power." When AI large models issue millisecond-level flexible production scheduling commands, traditional mechanical conveying methods like belts or chains struggle to respond quickly. Zongwei is addressing the structural mismatch between "computing power and transport power."

Zongwei's magnetic drive system is, at its core, a "real-time operating system for the physical world." It gives production lines software-like reconfigurability, with self-perception, self-adaptation, and self-diagnosis capabilities, while further reducing costs and improving efficiency. According to Zongwei's statistics, its solutions help customers boost production line efficiency by 30%–200%, shortening commissioning cycles from several weeks to one week or even a few days.

Leveraging China's powerful supply chain advantages and Zongwei's full-stack self-development capabilities, the company has broken foreign technology blockades to provide safe, controllable, and cost-effective underlying technology support for strategic industries including new energy (lithium batteries), 3C electronics, and semiconductors — becoming a "ballast stone" for supply chain security.

At a time when hard-tech investing has returned to rationality, capital markets place greater weight on a company's ability to generate its own cash flow. Zongwei Technology is one of the few companies in its industry to maintain positive cash flow while sustaining high-intensity R&D investment.

Over the past year, the company's output value grew more than 6x, with products now widely deployed across new energy, AI infrastructure, auto parts, semiconductors, consumer goods, and medical industries. To date, Zongwei has cumulatively delivered nearly 50,000 meters of production lines, meaning magnetic drive technology has become standard equipment for large-scale mass production.

Standing at this new starting point, Zongwei Technology will build the industrial infrastructure of the AI era on a foundation of underlying technology innovation, giving production lines the "flexibility" and "intelligence" to meet the future.

BlueRun Ventures commented: "Zongwei Technology is one of the few domestic platform-level motion control technology companies to achieve full-stack self-development from software to hardware. Its conveying systems already cover global industries including new energy batteries, semiconductors and electronics, auto parts, AI infrastructure, food and consumer goods, and medical — helping production lines move toward a more efficient and intelligent future."
