Fives

Fives is a French industrial-engineering group based in Paris that builds process equipment, machine tools and turnkey production lines. It supplies plants for primary aluminium and for cement, processing lines for steel strip, industrial burners and combustion systems, induction heating, CNC machining centres for aerospace and automotive work, and automated intralogistics for warehouses.

ZHIMAI sources Fives process equipment, machine tools and production-line components, plus spare parts, for manufacturers worldwide. From our China base we have direct access to makers across China, Asia and wider markets, covering procurement, shipping and customs end to end. Older or hard-to-find lines are matched to the current successor, subject to compliance screening.

Typical product lines we supply:

• Aluminium process equipment (ECL, Solios): pot-tending machines, anode handling systems and gas treatment / dry-scrubbing equipment for primary aluminium smelters.
• Cement & minerals technologies (FCB): crushers, grinding mills (FCB Horomill), rotary kilns, pyro-process lines and gas treatment systems for cement plants and mineral processing.
• Steel processing lines (DMS, Stein): cold rolling mills, strip processing lines and ultra-low-NOx reheating furnaces with associated digital controls.
• Combustion systems (Pillard, North American, ITAS): industrial burners and combustion equipment for rotary kilns, boilers, reheating furnaces and process heaters.
• Machine tools (Cincinnati, Giddings & Lewis, Giustina): CNC milling, turning, grinding and composites machining centres for aerospace, automotive and general machining.
• Smart automation and intralogistics: conveyors, sorters, ASRS shuttles and robotic handling systems with PLC and electrical automation for warehouses and parcel facilities.

Both current and legacy Fives equipment are available together, subject to compliance screening.
