On June 4th, Huang Gengyan, Secretary-General of the Guangdong Stainless Steel Materials and Products Association, and Peng Jian, Deputy Secretary-General, visited the Yunfu Manufacturing Center of Guangdong Hangao Technology Co., Ltd., a member of the association. They were warmly received by Xiao Yuanping, General Manager of Hangao. The two sides walked and talked in the workshop, engaging in in-depth exchanges on the transformation and upgrading path, product R&D direction, and technology upgrading strategies of stainless steel equipment enterprises.
From "Making Equipment" to "Defining Processes"—Hangao's R&D Foundation
As one of the few high-tech enterprises in China with the capability to deliver complete sets of high-end precision industrial welded pipe equipment, Hangao has not followed a path of simple scale expansion over the past two decades, but has consistently placed its bets on R&D.
During the discussion, General Manager Xiao Yuanping directly presented one of Hangao's most significant achievements in recent years: its independently developed full-process digital intelligent equipment system has achieved a major breakthrough in key technology areas—the 10,000-meter ultra-long pipe production line has been officially launched, entering the high-barrier scenario of marine fiber optic cables. Meanwhile, Hangao has cultivated its expertise in food-grade sanitary tubing and heat exchanger equipment for many years, holding a considerable market share in its heat exchanger equipment segment and maintaining steady growth.
The significance of this "10,000-meter ultra-long tubing" production line goes beyond just its length—it signifies the systematic integration of multiple processes, including continuous manufacturing capabilities, consistent online heat treatment, weld seam tracking, and intelligent IoT collaborative control. It serves as key evidence of equipment manufacturers' leap from "single-machine suppliers" to "whole-plant process solution providers."
Transformation and Upgrading: Association and Enterprises Resonate in unison
During the visit, Secretary-General Huang Gengyan highly praised Hangao's business philosophy of emphasizing R&D and pursuing quality. She also introduced the association's recent key work to General Manager Xiao Yuanping, highlighting the progress and significance of the group standard "Technical Specification for Stainless Steel Piping for Liquid Cooling - Data Center." Both sides conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as the digital transformation, intelligent upgrading, and high-end product development of the stainless steel industry, agreeing that at this critical stage of industrial upgrading, enterprises should seize technological innovation opportunities and promote high-quality development of the industry with high-standard, high-quality products.
The visit and guidance from the association leaders brought Hangao cutting-edge industry trends and policy guidance, injecting new confidence and momentum into the company's continued efforts to deepen technological research and development and expand high-end application scenarios. In the future, Hangao will continue to uphold its development philosophy of "adhering to quality and focusing on innovation," fully leveraging its comprehensive technological advantages in precision welded pipe equipment, bright annealing equipment, and solution treatment production lines, working hand in hand with industry associations and supply chain partners to jointly promote China's stainless steel equipment manufacturing industry to a higher level.
Twenty Years of Hard Work: Manufacturing Depth from Shunde to Yunfu
Hangao's marketing department is located at No. 28, Nanguo West Road, Daliang, Shunde District, Foshan. The commissioning of the Yunfu manufacturing center signifies a further expansion and deepening of its production capacity and high-end process verification capabilities. The company's products are currently exported to more than ten countries and regions, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, North America, and Australia, with a customer list including industry leaders such as Jiuli, Wujin, and China United.
From the launch of the large-diameter black annealing line in 2015, to the record-breaking speed of bright solution welding of wire in 2018 (150m/min), to the three-cathode high-speed welding system in 2024 and the current 10,000-meter production line, Hangao's product development history is itself a microcosm of the domestic substitution and technological leadership of stainless steel welded pipe equipment.
