Under the Tide of Domestic Substitution: Henan Jitong Valve Breaks Through with
Against the backdrop of the deepening \"Dual Carbon\" strategy and policy support for the localization of high-end equipment, China's valve industry is accelerating its departure from the \"big but not strong\" status quo, moving toward a new stage of high-quality development centered on technological innovation. Data shows that by 2025, the domestication rate of China's high-end valve market has exceeded 65%, with persistent explosive demand for independently controlled, energy-efficient and high-performance valve products in fields such as energy, chemicals, and new energy. Rooted in Zhengzhou Xingyang, Henan Jitong Valve Co., Ltd. has closely followed the industry's transformation pulse, delved into niche tracks to conquer core technologies, and written the breakout story of \"Henan Manufacturing\" in the process of domestic substitution.
As a core enterprise under Yulong Valve, Henan Jitong Valve was founded in 2018 with the initial mission of \"breaking technical dependence and deeply exploring local needs\". It focuses on full-chain services including valve production, sales, maintenance, and mechanical processing, with a registered capital of 20 million yuan. Relying on the synergistic advantages of Henan's valve industry cluster and the hub benefits of Zhengzhou, the company has built a diverse product matrix covering carbon steel bottom valves, stainless steel bottom valves, pneumatic butterfly valves, and more. Particularly in the key field of industrial fluid control, its independently developed enhanced sealing valve has stood out with innovative technology: adopting a carbon fiber-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene composite material sealing structure, achieving a leakage grade of Class A according to ISO5208 standards, with corrosion resistance 3 times higher than traditional products and a service life more than 2 times longer than the industry average. This has successfully broken the局面 of dependence on imported products for some medium- and high-end valves.
Technological innovation is the core confidence for domestic substitution. Henan Jitong Valve has kept pace with the industry's policy orientation of \"high-endization, intelligence, and greenification\", continuously increasing R&D investment: introducing advanced processes such as precision casting and laser welding, raising the material utilization rate of valve castings to over 90%, far exceeding the industry average; integrating IoT monitoring modules into core products to achieve real-time collection and remote control of operating data such as pressure and temperature, with a fault prediction accuracy rate of 98%, meeting the needs of industrial automation upgrades; optimizing product design to reduce operating energy consumption by 15% compared with traditional products, perfectly aligning with the requirements of modern industrial green development. Strict quality control is also the foundation of its standing. The company has established a full-process quality management system covering R&D, production, and testing, strictly following national and international standards such as GB/T12238-2022, solidifying the defense line for product reliability.
In terms of market expansion, Henan Jitong Valve presents a dual-wheel drive pattern of \"deepening domestic markets + overseas layout\". In the domestic market,凭借过硬品质, the company has successfully entered the bidding of key projects such as Datang Suihua Thermal Power, accumulating rich engineering application experience in power, environmental protection, petrochemical, and other fields; in the overseas market, through building a professional foreign trade marketing network, promoting \"JIFM\" brand products to many countries and regions such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Compared with imported products, it not only shortens the supply cycle by 50%, reduces comprehensive costs by 30%-40%, but also provides 24-hour rapid after-sales response services, winning widespread recognition from overseas customers. After years of深耕, the company has won multiple industry qualification certifications, accumulated solid reputation through 4 key project tenders, and become the preferred brand for domestic substitution in niche fields.
Company officials stated, 'Policy dividends have opened up broad space for domestic valves, and technological innovation is the fundamental basis for enterprises to stand firm.' Facing new demands from emerging fields such as hydrogen energy and semiconductors, Henan Jitong Valve will further focus on the R&D of high-end special valves in the future. It will prioritize breakthroughs in high-temperature and high-pressure sealing technologies and dedicated products for the new energy sector, strengthen technical collaboration with universities and research institutions, and continue to exert efforts in the process of participating in the import substitution of domestic valves.
With the deepening advancement of China's modern energy system construction and the new industrialization process, the valve industry, as a key basic equipment industry, continues to release its development potential. Henan Jitong Valve will continue to be rooted in the Central Plains and radiate globally. It will break barriers through technological innovation, win the market with quality service, continuously polish the 'Henan Manufacturing' brand in niche tracks, and inject more vitality from small and medium-sized enterprises into the high-quality development of China's valve industry.
