Tianjin Youfa Steel Pipe Group Co., Ltd. (shortened to Tianjin Youfa Group) was established in 2000 through the asset restructuring of nine subsidiaries of the former Tianjin Youfa Steel Pipe Group Co., Ltd. It is a manufacturing group specializing in a variety of steel pipes, including straight seam welded pipes, hot-dip galvanized pipes, plastic-lined composite pipes, coated steel pipes, square and rectangular steel pipes, hot-dip galvanized square and rectangular pipes, spiral steel pipes, and high-speed guardrails, and owns the "Youfa" and "Zhengjin Yuan" brands. The company has three production bases in Tianjin, Tangshan, and Handan, with a total of 8 steel pipe production companies and 152 production lines, employing nearly 10,000 staff. It also has two laboratories and one industry-academia-research and development technology organization, the "Tianjin Welded Steel Pipe Technology Engineering Center." The products from these three bases have been exported to 66 countries and regions, including North America, South America, the European Union, Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and Hong Kong. In 2016, the production of various steel pipes exceeded 12 million tons, and if the pipes produced by Youfa each week were connected end-to-end, they would encircle the Earth.

Youfa Pipe products are widely used in water conservancy projects, fire protection projects, gas engineering, industrial and civil construction projects, and have been successfully applied in numerous national key projects such as the Three Gorges Project, Pudong International Airport, Capital International Airport, Beijing Olympic venues, Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Halls, Jiaozhou Bay Cross-Straits Bridge, Tianjin's 117 Tower - China's tallest building, Beijing-Zhangjiakou Winter Olympics venues, the China Zun in Beijing, Tiananmen Square Review Stand, and Shanghai Disneyland. The indomitable Youfa team, with the mission of "Exceeding Ourselves, Achieving Partnerships, Centennial Youfa, and Building Harmony," constantly adheres to the core values of "Win-Win, Mutual Benefits, Trust as the Foundation, and Unity and Progress as Priorities." We will carry on the spirit of "Self-discipline for the Benefit of Others, and Cooperation for Progress," and in the future, move forward shoulder to shoulder, fearlessly, to tirelessly strive for making Youfa Pipe a respected, happy enterprise!

Under the委托 of the National Steel Standard Committee, Youfa has led or participated in drafting 12 national and industry standards, including the following national standards that have been promulgated: GB/T 3091 "Welded Steel Pipes for Low-pressure Fluid Transportation," GB/T 13793-2016 "Straight Seam Welded Steel Pipes," GB/T 28897-2012 "Steel-Plastic Composite Pipes," GB/T 31439.1-2015 "W-beam Steel Guardrail Part 1: Two-Wave W-beam Steel Guardrail," and GB/T 31439.2-2015 "W-beam Steel Guardrail Part 2: Three-Wave W-beam Steel Guardrail." The national standards currently under review include: GB/T 6725 "General Technical Requirements for Cold-Formed Steel Sections" (under review) and GB/T 6728 "Cold-Formed Hollow Sections for Structural Use" (under review). The industry standards that have been promulgated are: CJ/T 120-2016 "Plastic Coated Steel Pipes for Water Supply" and CECS 205-2015 "Technical Code for Engineering of Stainless Steel Lined (Coated) Composite Steel Pipe." The national standards currently under review are: CJ/T 192 "Stainless Steel Lined Composite Steel Pipes" (under review) and CJJ/T 154 "Technical Code for Engineering of Metal Water Supply Pipes in Buildings" (under review). The industry standard currently being formulated is YB/T "Special Welded Steel Pipes." Since June 1, 2016, the GB/T 3091-2015 "Welded Steel Pipes for Low-pressure Fluid Transportation" national standard has been officially implemented, and all Youfa products comply with the new national standard.

Innovation is the driving force behind corporate development. After years of practice, Youfa has independently innovated a series of industry-first technologies, including "Automatic Packaging Machines," "Multi-Pull Rods," and "Heat Pipe Waste Heat Recovery Evaporators." Among them, the "Heat Pipe Waste Heat Recovery Evaporator Project" officially became a "Tianjin City Major Science and Technology Special Project and Engineering Demonstration Project" in 2015. As of the end of 2016, the entire group held 51 patent technologies, including 4 invention patents, with another 38 patent technologies pending application and acceptance.
