About LIHE Precision: PET preform and blow mold supplier for beverage packaging — quality system and Coca-Cola verified status
LIHE Precision (Foshan Lihe Precision Machinery Co.,Ltd.) is a manufacturer of PET preform molds, blow molds, closure and compression molds, hot runner systems and mold components for the beverage and packaging industry, with manufacturing in Foshan, China. This guide is for buyers who are qualifying LIHE as a supplier: it explains how the company is organised, how its quality figures are defined and checked, what the Coca-Cola verified supplier status means and does not mean, and which projects LIHE is and is not a good fit for.
Company background: a PET mold manufacturer in Foshan with a sales office in Taiwan
Supplier qualification usually starts with basic company data. The points below are the facts LIHE publishes about itself; anything not listed here, such as a founding year or headcount, is not stated on this site.
- Legal name: Foshan Lihe Precision Machinery Co.,Ltd. The brand names LIHE Precision and LIHE Preform refer to the same company.
- Manufacturing: Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, China. Sales office: Taiwan.
- Experience: more than 20 years in mold manufacturing.
- Facility: 15,000 sqm, of which over 10,000 sqm is climate-controlled production floor.
- Engineering: an in-house design center using CAD/CAM, 3D simulation and flow analysis before production begins.
- Market: customers in more than 50 countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East.
How LIHE measures mold quality: CPK, defect rate and Zeiss CMM
Quality claims are only useful if you know what they measure. CPK, the process capability index, compares the distance between the process mean and the nearest tolerance limit with three standard deviations of the process. A CPK of 1.33 means the nearest limit is four standard deviations away from the mean, which leaves a margin for normal variation. A defect rate of 0.0064% equals about 64 defective parts per million. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) probes the actual geometry of a part and compares it with the CAD model, which is how core, cavity and neck ring dimensions are verified.
| Quality metric | LIHE figure | What it measures | How a buyer can check it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process capability | CPK ≥ 1.33 | How well critical dimensions stay centred in their tolerance | Ask for capability data on the critical dimensions of your mold |
| Operational defect rate | As low as 0.0064% (about 64 per million) | Share of defective parts in production | Compare with your own reject counts after start-up |
| Mold durability | Up to 8 million shots | Service life on Husky, SACMI and Netstal platforms | Track the shot counter and wear-part condition |
| Dimensional inspection | In-house Zeiss CMM lab | Measured geometry of cores, cavities, neck rings and mold bases | Request the validation and inspection report with delivery |
| Hot runner sealing | 3-year leakage-proof guarantee | Leak-free operation of Husky Ultra-type hot runners | Keep the guarantee terms with the purchase documents |
Coca-Cola verified supplier: what it means
LIHE is a Coca-Cola verified mold supplier in the Asia region. For a buyer, this status is an external reference: a large beverage company has verified LIHE as a mold supplier in that region. It is relevant because beverage brand owners and their bottlers apply strict requirements to the preform and bottle tooling used on their lines.
- It applies to LIHE as a mold supplier in the Asia region.
- It is a point you can include in your own supplier evaluation, alongside inspection reports and capability data.
- It is consistent with LIHE's focus on high-cavitation molds for beverage packaging.
Coca-Cola verified supplier: what it does not mean
- LIHE is not owned, operated or controlled by The Coca-Cola Company, and is not part of the Coca-Cola system.
- LIHE does not speak for Coca-Cola or any bottler, and the status is not an endorsement of a specific mold, project or customer.
- It is not a certificate of a management system and does not replace any certificate your procurement process requires.
- It does not replace your own supplier qualification: you should still review drawings, inspection reports and samples for your project.
- The status as published refers to the Asia region; it should not be read as covering other regions.
Who LIHE is a good fit for
- Beverage, water, edible oil and packaging producers that need PET preform molds with 32 to 160 cavities, closure molds with 12 to 72 cavities, or blow molds for two-step and one-step machines.
- Plants running Husky, SACMI, SIPA, NETSTAL, MHT, OTTO, ASB, Krupps or Corvaglia systems that need 100% interchangeable conversion and replacement parts.
- Teams that want to keep an existing mold and upgrade it: overhauls, neck finish conversions, lightweighting by 1g to 2g per preform, or cooling changes that cut neck cooling time by up to 0.5 seconds.
- Projects on a short schedule: pilot molds in 20 days, replacement parts in 4 weeks and standard PET molds in 8 weeks.
- Buyers who want dimensional evidence: Zeiss CMM inspection and validation reports on request.
When another supplier may suit you better
- Your part is outside beverage and packaging tooling, for example automotive or consumer product injection molds; LIHE's published range does not cover these.
- You need a complete filling or blowing machine rather than molds, hot runners and conversion parts; LIHE makes the tooling, not the machines.
- Your procurement process requires a specific certificate or audit document; this site does not list certifications, so request any required documents before you place an order.
How to qualify LIHE as a mold supplier
- Step 1: Send a short description of your line, machine platform and the parts you need to sales@lihe-preform.com.
- Step 2: Ask for the validation and inspection report format and an example of CMM data for a comparable mold component.
- Step 3: Agree which critical dimensions will be reported with CPK values for your project.
- Step 4: Start with a smaller order if you prefer, such as replacement parts in 4 weeks or a pilot mold in 20 days, and evaluate fit and performance on your machine.
- Step 5: Move to a full mold or hot runner project once the first order has met your acceptance criteria.

- No. LIHE is an independent manufacturer, Foshan Lihe Precision Machinery Co.,Ltd. It is a Coca-Cola verified mold supplier in the Asia region, but it is not owned or operated by Coca-Cola.
- What does CPK ≥ 1.33 mean in practice?
- It means the measured process is centred well enough that the nearest tolerance limit is at least four standard deviations from the mean. In practice, critical mold dimensions repeat consistently with margin to the tolerance limits.
- Can I get inspection reports for my mold?
- Yes. LIHE has an in-house Zeiss CMM lab, and validation and inspection reports are supplied on request.
