This visit by the German client was not only a simple business visit but also an important milestone in GDD Steel's internationalization strategy. In today's increasingly competitive global market, winning the favor of international customers with superior product quality and professional service is the best proof of a company's comprehensive strength. In the future, GDD Steel will continue to increase investment in technological research and development and equipment upgrades, striving to create more competitive tinplate products, serve global customers, and write a new chapter in the global expansion of Chinese steel manufacturing.

The escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel has led to attacks on two major Iranian steel mills (15.4 million kilowatts capacity) and Emirates Aluminium (1.6 million kilowatts capacity), resulting in a 5 million-ton steel export shortfall, damage to 4% of global aluminum production capacity, and soaring shipping costs. The Chinese steel market is experiencing a demand rebound during the traditional peak season of March and April, boosted by external demand but facing logistical risks. Short-term steel prices are expected to fluctuate at high levels, while the medium-term outlook depends on the intensity of the conflict.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently clarified that they will focus on high-energy-consuming industries such as steel, and promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation in a phased manner, striving to continuously increase the proportion of production capacity at the energy efficiency benchmark level during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. At the policy level, this will be systematically promoted through improving the standard system, carrying out special actions, and strengthening financial support. Simultaneously, relying on the upgrading of energy-saving equipment and the empowerment of digital technology, combined with full-process supervision and standard improvement, the energy efficiency of the steel industry will be improved, providing key support for achieving the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in the industrial sector.

Gdd Steel has successfully completed its fifth cooperation with a long-term European client, delivering 600 tons of galvanized iron wire through fully digital coordination. Built on exceptional product quality and reliable supply capacity, this partnership reflects the company's decade-long commitment to excellence and shared growth with its clients. From raw material selection to precision drawing and advanced galvanizing processes, Gdd Steel maintains standards that surpass industry requirements, earning its products "inspection-free" status. Since their trial order in 2019, the collaboration has evolved from a buyer-supplier relationship into strategic synergy. With services such as cloud-based monitoring, blockchain bills of lading, and door-to-door insurance, the company strengthens client trust through every detail. As a private enterprise with 15 years of experience, Gdd Steel remains dedicated to quality and integrity, exporting to 12 countries with over 60% of its business in the European market.

Recently, Gdd Steel hosted a Middle Eastern purchasing team for a two-day inspection of 500 tons of large-diameter steel pipes. Gdd Steel utilized ultrasonic and spectral testing technologies, demonstrating its rigorous quality control, with wall thickness errors controlled within ±0.5mm. Pressure testing simulating extreme conditions further met the customer's high requirements for corrosion resistance and durability. This successful collaboration highlights Gdd Steel's expertise in the high-end steel pipe sector and its commitment to transparent, customized services.

China's steel industry is accelerating its transformation towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, leveraging policy signals released at the 2026 National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (NPC & CPPCC). The government has provided strong impetus for enterprise technological upgrading and green development through measures such as issuing ultra-long-term special treasury bonds and increasing the deduction ratio for R&D expenses. The industry has made significant progress in self-sufficiency rates for high-end products, intelligent manufacturing levels, and the application of green and low-carbon technologies. The self-sufficiency rate for high-end steel plates has exceeded 85%, and green projects such as hydrogen metallurgy and scrap steel recycling are flourishing. Although challenges remain in core technologies, environmental costs, and international competition, the industry has clearly defined its future direction: building world-class intelligent factories, breaking through cutting-edge technology applications, and constructing a green industrial chain covering the entire life cycle. The goal is to build a globally leading steel industry system by 2030, transforming from a scale advantage to a quality advantage.
