Going Global From All Directions, Smart Manufacturing Sets Sail | Guilin Lijia's Copper And Copper Alloy Products Shine At The China-ASEAN Expo

With the completion and opening of the century-spanning Pinglu Canal, and as national strategies such as building a strong maritime nation and jointly advancing the Western Land-Sea New Corridor at a high level are further implemented-with the formal signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade and the deepening of Belt and Road cooperation-Guangxi's maritime-oriented development has ushered in unprecedented opportunities.

On September 17, the 23rd China-ASEAN Expo grandly opened at the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center. Within the exhibition area, Guilin Lijia Company's copper and copper alloy products became the focus of attention-from high-end copper-nickel (cupronickel) tubes to precision special-shaped tubes, from marine engineering-grade pipes to premium bathroom fittings. These gleaming "Smart Made in China" creations not only showcased five decades of technical excellence honed through craftsmanship, but also served as a vivid footnote to the real manufacturing segment of Guangxi's all-region maritime development strategy.

At the expo, the company's booth was swarming with visitors. A merchant from Poland paused in front of Guilin Lijia's exhibits, touching copper tube samples of various specifications while listening to staff introduce the products' applications in shipbuilding, marine engineering, premium bathrooms, and other fields.

"The copper tubes we produce can literally 'go to the sky and dive into the sea,' and are widely used in shipbuilding, marine engineering, and other fields. The thinnest are as slender as a finger, while the thickest can be used in high-pressure pipelines of 10,000-ton-class heavy equipment," a staff member explained in detail at the booth, describing the characteristics of the copper and copper alloy product samples. Founded in 1976, Guilin Lijia Company once produced Guangxi's first copper tube and China's first brass coil tube. Over the past 50 years, the company has consistently adhered to the product development philosophy of "special, novel, unique, and refined." Today, it is capable of producing more than 40 grades and over 3,000 specifications of copper and copper alloy products, earning the reputation as the "traditional Chinese medicine shop" of China's copper tube industry.

Currently, Guilin Lijia Company is accelerating the technological upgrading of its 16,000-ton copper-based new materials production line. Upon reaching full production capacity, annual main business revenue is expected to reach 1.273 billion yuan, further enhancing the supply capacity of high-end copper alloy pipes and tubes. The company is committed to the direction of high-end, green, and intelligent manufacturing, aiming to become a world-class, domestically leading service provider of high-end copper alloy tubes, bars, and profiles.
