A Career Built on Craftsmanship

Chen Liang’s journey in the mold industry began in 1984 — long before plastic injection molding became the backbone of Chinese manufacturing. He learned his trade under a Hong Kong master who was among the first generation of plastic mold pioneers in China, having started in the industry as early as 1979 when precision tooling was a rare and specialist skill.

That apprenticeship instilled in Mr. Liang a standard of craftsmanship that has never wavered: measure twice, cut once, and never compromise on steel.

Bridging Two Worlds

Steven Liang joined JBRplas in 2017 after completing his bachelor’s degree in the United Kingdom. Growing up between China and the UK gave him something that most China-based manufacturers cannot offer their overseas customers: a genuine, lived understanding of how Western businesses think, communicate, and operate.

That is not a marketing claim. It means Steven understands why a customer in Germany needs written confirmation before a change is implemented. It means he knows why a buyer in California needs accurate lead times — not optimistic ones. And it means he can navigate the expectations on both sides of a business relationship without either party feeling misunderstood.

The Financial Foundation

May Chen’s career in industrial finance began in the late 1980s, working within private manufacturing enterprises during China’s early economic transformation. She witnessed firsthand how tight material margins and cash flow volatility could cripple even the most skilled workshops. This experience forged a financial philosophy that has defined JBRplas ever since: stability enables quality.

When she joined forces with Chen Liang to launch the company in 1995, she brought not only capital discipline but also a deep understanding of supplier negotiation and cost engineering. Her insistence on lean inventory and prudent reinvestment kept the young company solvent through the volatile early years of China’s manufacturing boom.

From Apprentice to Master

Norman Xie entered the mold industry straight out of technical school, drawn by the precision and permanence of toolmaking. Over two decades, he has worked his way up from sweeping chips around manual mills to managing the entire JBRplas toolroom. There is scarcely a mold component he has not fitted, a core pin he has not polished, or an ejection problem he has not solved with a file and a steady hand.
