In recent years, the hot valve market has been flowing more and more valve products produced in China, but the right to speak in the valve market is not in the hands of Chinese companies, but in the hands of foreign brands. In the valve market, Chinese enterprises still have no right to speak. The price is decided by others, and the rules are also decided by others.

Still the role of workers

As the necessary casting, forging, welding, electroplating, pickling, etc. in the production of valves affect the environment and invest heavily in environmental protection, in recent years, developed countries have moved labor-intensive valve production, especially general valves to developing countries, such as China. They usually buy valve products that meet standard requirements from developing countries and then sell them to developing and developed countries. Or to set up a sole proprietorship or joint venture in a developing country, and then sell the products back. To be practical and realistic, in the industrial transfer of developed countries, China's valve enterprises still get many benefits.

Many companies have achieved ISO9001 quality management system certification and API certification, and some companies have also achieved EC CE safety certification. At the same time, many valve enterprises in China have been able to produce API standard gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves and other products, product quality can fully meet the ISO5208:1993 inspection standard requirements. China's valve products are therefore increasing year by year exports. In recent years, the export output value in 2001 was 0.38 billion US dollars, the export output value in 2002 was 0.43 billion US dollars, and the export output value in 2004 was 0.656 billion US dollars. It can be seen that the export situation is very good.

What is more gratifying is that China's valve industry has manufacturers to set up factories abroad, such as Suzhou valve factory has been built in Iran. There are manufacturers have offices abroad, such as Zhejiang Founder Valve Factory in Singapore, the Netherlands, Italy has offices, the production of valves almost all sold abroad. At present, China's valve has been exported to the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy and other more than 30 countries and regions, has entered the world valve market, China's valve exports in the world valve exporting countries ranked 11th.

However, despite the overwhelming influx of domestic valve products out of the country, in the valve market, Chinese companies still do not have the right to speak. The price is decided by others, and the rules are also decided by others. Developed countries buy very low-grade valves from our country and then sell them to developing countries at a higher price. They have both profits and good purchases. However, domestic enterprises can only act as part-time workers.

Many market opportunities

Is the valve market can't hold us? Obviously not. It is understood that the Middle East, as the world's major oil production and export region, countries are trying their best to increase the daily output of oil, and at the same time increase the exploitation and investment of oil. Kuwait's largest northern oil and gas development project in the next few years is currently in progress; Qatar will build the world's largest natural gas liquefaction product processing plant; the UAE plans to increase crude oil production through the construction of large-scale projects, which are expected to exceed 3 million barrels per day; Abu Dhabi National Oil Company plans to invest US $1.5 billion per year in some projects in the next five years, 40% of which is used in the oil industry... and each project needs a large amount of valve products. On the other hand, due to the severe destruction of oil fields and pipelines in the Middle East, Iraq and other countries, it is necessary to import oil systems and pipeline valves, including API gate valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, long-distance pipeline plate valves and ball valves. These are the main products of domestic valve manufacturers and are our strengths. Why don't we steal these businesses ourselves?
