Wivo Qingdao Facility Expands to Meet Surging Valve Demand in Southeast Asia

Wivo’s industrial valve orders in Qingdao, Shandong Province, have surged by 150% year-on-year, driven by unprecedented demand. To address the urgent needs of the Southeast Asian market for high-quality valves, Wivo has announced the expansion of its Qingdao production base. The project will add 8,000 square meters of workshop space, with operations slated to begin in Q3 2024.

Market Dynamics: Infrastructure Boom Fuels Orders

As energy, petrochemical, and water conservancy projects proliferate across Southeast Asia, demand for valves—a critical industrial component—continues to rise. Wivo has emerged as a preferred supplier in Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and other markets through its high-efficiency, corrosion-resistant customized valve solutions. "Our 'Smart Valve Series' has been widely adopted in offshore oil projects, demonstrating exceptional performance under extreme conditions," stated Li Min, Wivo’s APAC Director.

Smart Expansion: Digitalized Production Lines

The expansion prioritizes not only capacity but also smart manufacturing. The new facility will integrate AI-powered quality inspection systems and IoT-enabled production monitoring platforms, boosting output by 40% and shortening delivery cycles by 15%. "We aim to set a benchmark for 'Made in Qingdao' in global industrial manufacturing," emphasized Zhang Tao, Wivo’s CEO.

Green Commitment: Low-Carbon Manufacturing

The upgraded plant will feature solar power systems and wastewater recycling units, reducing carbon emissions per product by 30%. This initiative aligns with Southeast Asian clients’ ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements and underscores Wivo’s commitment to sustainable innovation.
