Youfa Group attends the 21st Steel Industry Development Strategy Conference, exploring new paths for industrial breakthroughs
From April 24th to 25th, the 21st Steel Industry Development Strategy Conference was grandly held at the Shanghai International Convention Center. Jointly organized by Gangzhijia website and Youfa Group, the conference themed "New Situation, New Characteristics, New Challenges." Leaders from the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the steel industry nationwide, industry experts and scholars, and business elites gathered together to participate in this grand event, engaging in in-depth exchanges on current steel industry trends and hot topics, gathering momentum for the advanced development of the steel industry.
As one of the co-organizers of the conference, Chen Guangling, General Manager of Youfa Group, stated in his speech that under the background of sufficient supply capacity but weakening demand intensity, and the coexistence of involution and external pressure, as a member of the industrial chain, it is increasingly difficult to rely solely on price competition to obtain meager profits. In the face of new industry challenges, transformation is imperative.

Chen Guangling introduced that Youfa Group is a national-level single-item champion manufacturing enterprise and a listed company on the A-share market in the welded steel pipe category. The Group takes "products + services" as a new strategic support point, accelerating the transformation from extensive product production to refined processing and manufacturing services, and transforming from a traditional steel pipe production enterprise to a comprehensive steel pipe supply chain service provider.
Chen Guangling also stated that Youfa Group has always adhered to the spirit of "self-discipline and benefiting others," with the vision of "being a global pipeline system expert" and the mission of "leading the healthy development of the industry." It continuously promotes various measures such as brand alliances, industrial synergy, standard leadership, and quality improvement, promoting the formation of a new development pattern in the industry where symbiosis occurs through collaboration and quality improvement through innovation, composing a magnificent chapter of high-quality development in the industry. His speech was widely recognized by the guests present, and the venue frequently erupted in warm applause.

Youfa Group Senior Consultant Han Weidong
Meanwhile, regarding the future trends of the steel industry under the current complex market environment, Han Weidong, senior consultant of Youfa Group, delivered a keynote speech titled "Exploring the New Era Characteristics of the Steel Industry." In his view, current overcapacity remains a core problem in the industry, and due to supply and demand mismatch, the industry faces severe challenges. At the same time, the turning point of raw material supply and demand has formed, steel costs have been forced into a corner, prices have gradually entered a dead end, and the industry has entered a stage of low-profit involution and elimination. As an enterprise in the industrial chain, it must actively seek business model transformation, not allowing profits to fluctuate with market conditions, but rather obtaining reasonable profits by providing services and creating value for customers.
In addition, the conference also held multiple themed forums concurrently, including macroeconomics and steel industry development strategy, the global steel landscape and opportunities, and e-commerce green dual-carbon special conferences. Relevant personnel from Youfa Group participated in-depth discussions and exchanges at various themed venues with relevant experts, scholars, and business elites. Youfa Group's green, ecological, and quality development philosophy and one-stop supply chain service model have received widespread attention and high recognition.
