Can water really cut through steel plates as easily as a knife through butter? No sparks, no deformation. When Russian student Anna saw it in action, she was stunned and called it unbelievable.

Behind this cutting-edge technology is Shenyang Head Science & Technology Co., Ltd., also known as HEAD, a leading company in Liaoning’s waterjet cutting sector. How competitive is HEAD on the global stage? From 2023 to 2025, the company accounted for 28.28% of China’s waterjet cutting equipment exports. Its products are sold in more than 130 countries and regions worldwide.

Inside the workshop, water takes center stage. It is pressurized to the extreme, creating pressure equivalent to the weight of four cars concentrated on an area the size of a fingernail. Mixed with fine abrasive sand, the jet shoots out faster than an aircraft. The key is its 600 MPa high-pressure system, one of the most advanced in the industry. No wonder Anna called it “the AllSpark from Transformers”.

This versatile waterjet cutter can handle almost anything. Thanks to its cold-cutting technology, it produces little heat during cutting, making the material less likely to deform. It can achieve a tolerance no thicker than a human hair. From ultra-hard industrial silicon carbide to fragile precision chips, it delivers clean, accurate cuts across a wide range of materials.

Backed by solid technological capabilities, HEAD has continued to expand its brand influence in Russia and Europe. For three consecutive years, it has been recognized as one of the most popular Chinese brands in the waterjet cutting sector across Europe. The company has also maintained strong visibility on Yandex, reflecting its growing overseas market presence.
