Qingdao Weilong Valve Co., Ltd. Launches Smart Energy-Saving Valve Project, Pioneering Green Manufacturing in the Global Valve Industry

Qingdao WIVO Valve Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 002871), a leading high-tech enterprise specializing in valve R&D, production, and global sales, recently celebrated the groundbreaking of its Smart Energy-Saving Valve Manufacturing Facility in Qingdao High-Tech Zone. This project, with a total investment of 285 million RMB, is expected to generate annual revenues exceeding 800 million RMB and further solidify the company’s position as a global innovator in intelligent and sustainable valve solutions11.

Driving Industry Trends: Smart and Green Valves

The global valve industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward intelligent automation and eco-friendly solutions, driven by industrial digitization and stringent environmental regulations. According to industry analysts, smart valves—capable of remote monitoring, automatic adjustment, and predictive maintenance—are becoming the new standard, while energy efficiency and carbon reduction are critical priorities for manufacturers5.

Wivo Valve’s new facility aligns perfectly with these trends. The project integrates advanced IoT technologies and lean production systems to deliver valves for municipal water systems, firefighting, wastewater treatment, and gas distribution. Notably, the company’s patented "Non-Stop Water Installation Valve Technology"—a first in China—exemplifies its commitment to innovation and sustainability6.

Expanding Global Footprint and Competitive Edge

With manufacturing bases in China, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, and subsidiaries across the U.S., U.K., and the Middle East, Weilong Valve has established a robust international presence. Its products, spanning 150+ models and 2,000+ specifications, are exported to over 70 countries, serving critical sectors like oil and gas, energy, and urban infrastructure46.

In 2024, the company reported a 14.88% year-on-year revenue growth, driven by strong demand in overseas markets and strategic advancements in automation. Despite short-term profit fluctuations due to R&D investments, WIVO Valve’s focus on high-value products and certifications (including CE, FM, UL, and GOST) has strengthened its competitiveness in high-end markets79.

Industry Recognition and Future Outlook

WIVO Valve’s leadership is further validated by its inclusion among China’s top valve manufacturers, alongside peers like Jiangsu Shentong and Neway Valve. Industry reports highlight the company’s dominance in firefighting and water supply valves, with a growing emphasis on nuclear energy and smart city applications9.

Looking ahead, the company plans to leverage its new facility to accelerate R&D in AI-driven valve systems and expand partnerships with global engineering firms. “Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge, reliable solutions that empower industries to achieve carbon neutrality and operational excellence,” said Mr. Fan Qingwei, Chairman of WIVO Valve11.
