Stardard: The Force of the Foreign Trade of Valves

Suzhou is a famous garden town in China. Garden art is famous for its exquisite carvings. There is a company in Suzhou that produces products like art works. It is Suzhou Star Valve Co., Ltd.

Earlier this year, the author visited Suzhou Sudad Valve Co., Ltd. located in Suzhou Industrial Park. During the visit, the author found that the company relied on its own valve's good product quality advantage to advance with the times and devoted itself to exploring the international market. To win the foreign trade market with good quality and good quality, the valve export business flourished. Last year, exports reached 80 million yuan, and this year's plan reached 120 million yuan.

After more than six years of hard work, this company has become a "rising star" in the Jiangsu valve industry. Why is valve export so strong? Chen Haomin, chairman of the company, believes that for the oil and petrochemical industry, the high pressure rating of the valve, can not have the slightest flaw, only in accordance with standard manufacturing, can ensure the quality of valve products, if you cut corners, shoddy, leaving the project hidden dangers It hurts others.

The processing of valve parts and components is complex and cumbersome, and the quality requirements are high. In the industry, “the whole machine is fat and the processed parts are bones”. Stardard started from the original ball valve parts, and strived to grasp the quality of product castings and gold processing, and strictly tracked the roundabout process, and mainly attacked the intrinsic and appearance quality of the castings, meticulously, and made the ball valve products “excellent”.

Over the years, Stardard has made great efforts to improve the quality of valves to open up the international market, and has made great efforts in internal production management. It has invested more than 10 million yuan and added CNC machine tools and advanced testing facilities. Accelerate the adoption of international standards, introduce modern and automated equipment, and take effective measures for the selection of raw materials for castings and forgings, casting and forging processes, and heat treatment, so that the castings and forgings can meet international quality standards in terms of internal quality and appearance.

At the same time, Stardling has strengthened the internal and external leakage of the valve, strictly controlled the machining process, improved the processing precision of the key parts of the product, prolonged the service life of the product, and eliminated the “short and two leakage” phenomenon of the valve.

The company adjusted the internal production structure according to the needs of the foreign trade market, expanded the scale and variety of production, and met the needs of the export market. Since last year, due to the soaring prices of raw materials such as copper and zinc, which have reduced the profits of the export of valve products, this company still controls the internal quality of valves in accordance with stringent quality standards, and the production and processing operations of internal products and sub-suppliers' castings and gold. In the cooperation of processing and matching, strict quality control ensures good product quality and has gained the trust of foreign investors. Earlier this year, the company had received a lot of bulk orders for the entire valve, setting a record for the company's sales history. With good quality, this company has successively obtained ISO9001-2000 quality system, API, CE and other quality certifications in recent years. Stardard's "differentiated development path" started from the beginning of processing valve parts and developed to the current production of complete valves, and it has come out of a successful way of relying on the development of foreign trade.

Chen Haomin said with deep feelings: "Foreign sales, starting from the development of production parts, one step at a time, can be successful; in the more intense atmosphere of domestic sales, using our own strengths, and developing the international market based on our in-house attack, We must fully exercise ourselves in an international environment. Only when companies are exposed to the international environment can they increase their strength. It is necessary to seize the current good opportunities in the international valve market and increase the pace of technological innovation in order to ensure that the company will grow steadily."

This year, the company has accelerated the pace of enterprise development, integrated tapping potentials, adjusted product structure, and expanded existing production capacity. Based on the successful experience in accumulating valve quality and marketing, it has also developed and manufactured complete products for valve ball valves, which has formed a foreign trade production and sales. The one-stop system will create a better performance with a new attitude.
