Gold Emperor Expands PVC Footwear Production with Xingzhong Machines
Gold Emperor Group purchased three Xingzhong PVC direct injection shoe machines in 2026. Two are allocated to Yangon, with a combined output target of 5,000 pairs per day after installation; one is allocated to China.
In 2026, Gold Emperor Group purchased three Xingzhong 24-station PVC direct injection shoe machines for new footwear production lines in China and Myanmar. The allocation comprises one machine in China and two in Yangon, Myanmar. Following installation, the two Yangon machines are expected to produce a combined 5,000 pairs per day. The injection-moulded footwear is intended primarily for North American and European markets.
For Xingzhong, this project brings together a defined equipment configuration, two manufacturing locations and a clear output target for the Yangon line. The machines will serve as the principal production equipment for the new injection footwear operations.
About Gold Emperor Group
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Gold Emperor Group combines footwear research and development with manufacturing. Its product portfolio includes women’s shoes and sports shoes. According to the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Light Industrial Products and Arts-Crafts, its production network extends across Chinese provinces including Hubei, Henan, Jiangxi and Fujian, as well as Myanmar and Indonesia. [1]
The chamber’s public profile reports more than 19,000 employees worldwide and annual output exceeding 39 million pairs. It records sales revenue of RMB 2.8 billion for 2024 and describes an export reach covering more than 60 countries and regions, with Europe and North America central to the business. These figures describe the wider group; they are separate from the planned output of the new Yangon injection line. [1]
The same profile identifies Gold Emperor as a strategic supplier to DHM and PUMA, and reports 18 consecutive years at the top of Zhejiang’s footwear export ranking. Those relationships establish useful background about the group’s international business, without identifying the buyers for this particular PVC footwear project. [1]
Gold Emperor Indonesia’s public company profile uses the English name Gold Emperor Group and describes a business encompassing research and development, production, sales and service. It states that the Indonesian operation began production in 2024, adding another overseas manufacturing location to the group’s footprint. [2]
This background places the 2026 purchase in the context of an established footwear manufacturer operating across several locations. The new equipment will support a specific injection footwear application within that broader business. For readers assessing the case, the relevant connection is the move from a group-wide manufacturing network to a concrete equipment allocation: one machine in China and two in Yangon.
The 2026 equipment allocation
Gold Emperor’s order covers three machines with the same stated station count and PVC application. The project information supplied by Xingzhong identifies them as the main machines for newly established injection shoe production lines. The following overview separates the total purchase from the capacity target assigned specifically to Yangon.
| Project item | Confirmed scope or planned target |
|---|---|
| Customer | Gold Emperor Group |
| Purchase year | 2026 |
| Equipment | Three 24-station PVC direct injection shoe machines |
| China allocation | One machine |
| Yangon allocation | Two machines in Yangon, Myanmar |
| Equipment role | Principal machines for new injection footwear production lines |
| Yangon output target | 5,000 pairs per day combined after installation |
| Footwear markets | Primarily North America and Europe |
The geographical split is a central feature of this case. The domestic machine forms part of the China allocation, while the two machines in Myanmar are associated with the stated daily output plan. Keeping those scopes clear helps buyers understand the project without treating every machine in a multi-location purchase as part of a single factory’s production total.
How PVC direct injection supports footwear production
In direct injection shoemaking, a prepared upper is positioned on a last and brought together with the sole mould. The machine injects the sole material into the mould so that the sole is formed directly onto the upper. This makes the relationship between the upper, last, mould and material an essential part of production planning.
For this project, the specified material is PVC and the machines have 24 stations each. A rotary arrangement moves mould positions through the production sequence, allowing different positions to be at different stages of the process. The station count describes the equipment configuration; it should not be read as the number of finished pairs produced in a single cycle.
Xingzhong’s rotary shoe injection moulding machine product information includes a 24-station option and lists PVC among the supported thermoplastic materials. This provides the relevant product context for the order. The project’s daily output target remains a separate planning figure, rather than a value calculated from a general catalogue specification. [3]
For manufacturers planning similar equipment, the starting point is the intended shoe. Upper construction, sole design, size range and material formulation affect the mould and process discussion. Matching these elements helps turn a machine enquiry into an application-specific production proposal. Sample evaluation can also help define the desired sole appearance and attachment to the upper before regular production. For a new line, agreeing these product requirements alongside the output target gives the technical discussion a more useful basis than station count alone.
A planned 5000 pairs per day in Yangon
The two machines in Yangon are expected to deliver a combined output of 5,000 pairs per day once installation is complete. This is the planned capacity for those two machines together. It is neither a reported production result nor a single-machine output claim.
For a new PVC footwear production line, a daily target also provides a reference for the surrounding workflow. Upper preparation, material supply, mould availability, finished-shoe handling and inspection need to support the intended production rhythm. These are practical considerations for planning comparable projects, rather than additional services or results claimed for this order.
Actual output will depend on the shoe being made and the operating conditions, including cycle time, working hours, changeovers and line availability. A meaningful assessment after installation would compare finished-pair output with those conditions. The 5,000-pair target gives that future assessment a clear starting point.
The footwear from this project is intended primarily for North America and Europe. That destination focus is consistent with Gold Emperor’s established international business. It does not identify individual customers or establish a particular finished-footwear certification. The case centres on manufacturing equipment and planned output for the new operation.
Frequently asked questions
What did Gold Emperor purchase from Xingzhong
Gold Emperor purchased three 24-station PVC direct injection shoe machines in 2026. They are intended to serve as the principal machines for new injection footwear production lines.
Where are the three machines allocated
One machine is allocated to China and two to Yangon, Myanmar. The stated daily capacity target applies to the two machines in Yangon.
Is 5000 pairs per day the output of each machine
No. It is the expected combined daily output of the two Yangon machines after installation. It should be understood as a project target, not as measured performance or a universal machine rating.
Which markets will the footwear serve
The project’s injection-moulded footwear is intended mainly for North America and Europe. Specific retail customers and individual shoe styles are not identified in this case.
