Daming Strengthens Strategic Ties with Shijiazhuang FOREVER for Steel Pipe Initiative

In a significant move to deepen strategic collaboration and drive innovation in steel processing equipment, a high-level delegation from Daming International visited Shijiazhuang FOREVER Machinery on August 26.

The visit marks an important milestone in the ongoing efforts of both companies to jointly advance the development of cold-bent welded pipe equipment and further strengthen the competitiveness of Daming’s steel processing and FOREVER’s equipment manufacturing capabilities.

The Daming delegation was led by Chairman Zhou Keming, accompanied by Group Chief Engineer Tang Zhonghai, Technical Director Wang Xiaojian, Shandong Daming General Manager Chen Jianming, and Group Planning Director Liao Chenming. They were warmly received by FOREVER Chairman Fan Hengwen, General Manager Fan Xiaoru, Chief Engineer Chang Yongli, Deputy General Manager Pan Linlin, and Technical Director Zhang Shisong.

Exploring Synergies in Steel Pipe Manufacturing

Chairman Fan Hengwen guided the delegation through Forever’s production workshop, offering an up-close view of the company’s advanced manufacturing lines and core technologies focused on cold-bent welded pipe equipment. The cold-bending process, crucial in forming square and rectangular steel pipes from hot-rolled or cold-rolled strip steel, plays a vital role in construction, infrastructure, transportation, and machinery sectors. Unlike seamless pipes, cold-bent welded pipes allow for high precision, cost-efficiency, and customization—making them ideal for large-scale applications.

During in-depth discussions, the two sides explored the technological nuances, market trends, and application potential of cold-bent welded pipes and supporting equipment. Chairman Fan provided a comprehensive overview of FOREVER’s development history, its diversified business segments, and its long-standing focus on the research and development of precision forming equipment. He also outlined the company’s roadmap for intelligent manufacturing, digital integration, and global market expansion.

Daming International: A Leader in Value-Added Steel Processing

As one of China’s foremost players in value-added steel processing and distribution, Daming International has long been committed to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the steel supply chain. Daming has a network of processing centers across the country and is active in many industries, such as shipbuilding, mining, oil & gas, automotive, semiconductor, construction, home appliances, energy, and equipment manufacturing. They focus on precise cutting, slitting, shaping, surface treatment, and machining of different steel products.

Chairman Zhou Keming shared Daming’s integrated service model, which combines high-end steel materials with tailored processing, logistics, and technical support. He elaborated on the Group’s strategic focus on the cold-bent welded pipe market, which has seen rapid growth due to increasing demand for modular construction and lightweight infrastructure solutions. He also discussed Daming’s ongoing equipment investments and its ambition to enhance its technological independence and automation capabilities.

Steel Plates and Pipes: Cornerstones of Modern Industry

Steel plates and pipes remain foundational to countless industries. Steel coils, sheets, and plates have consistently been the primary focus of Daming’s business over the years. While steel plates are widely used in shipbuilding, pressure vessels, bridges, and structural components, steel pipes—both seamless and welded—serve critical roles in oil & gas, construction, and mechanical systems. In particular, cold-bent welded pipes have become an attractive alternative due to their flexible shapes, structural integrity, and lower production costs. Advancements in forming equipment directly affect the quality, consistency, and scalability of these products.

By investing in state-of-the-art cold-forming technology and forging stronger partnerships with equipment manufacturers like Forever, Daming aims to solidify its role as a technology-driven leader in steel fabrication.

Towards a Win-Win Future

The meeting concluded with a strong consensus on the value of deeper collaboration. Both companies expressed a commitment to continued dialogue, technological exchange, and joint efforts to drive innovation in steel forming equipment. They emphasized the importance of complementarity—combining Daming’s service-driven steel supply chain expertise with FOREVER’s equipment R&D and manufacturing capabilities.

Chairman Zhou Keming praised Forever’s engineering strength and expressed confidence in the potential for future cooperation to accelerate smart manufacturing and green development goals across the steel industry. Chairman Fan Hengwen, in turn, welcomed the opportunity to work closely with Daming to co-develop next-generation equipment that meets evolving market needs.
