From April 10 to 11, the 18th China Iron and Steel Summit Forum, themed “Industrial Synergy: A New Quality of the Future,” was grandly held at the Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. The forum was guided by the China Iron and Steel Association, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce Metallurgical Chamber of Commerce, and the China Association for Metal Materials Circulation, and co-organized by Zhonggang Network and Youfa Group. More than 2,000 representatives from upstream and downstream enterprises across the national steel industry chain gathered to attend this major industry event.
As one of the co-organizers of the conference, Zhang Guangzhi, Deputy General Manager of Youfa Group, attended the event by invitation and delivered a speech, sharing Youfa Group’s latest achievements in high-quality development with government leaders, industry experts, and top executives from upstream and downstream enterprises across the steel industry value chain.

He stated that the steel industry is currently at a critical juncture in its transformation—from scale expansion to high-quality, efficiency-driven growth. Youfa remains committed to the strategy of “scale as the foundation, brand as the core, and the supply chain as the shield,” thereby strengthening the company’s core competitiveness on multiple fronts and leading the steel pipe industry in overcoming the developmental challenges of being “asset-intensive, long-process, and low-margin.”
Since its founding in 2000, Youfa Group has steadfastly upheld the vision of becoming a global expert in pipeline systems. By focusing on its core business of steel pipe manufacturing and continuously driving technological innovation and product upgrades, the company has forged a path of competitive advantage that combines scale economies with high-quality development.
Zhang Guangzhi also emphasized that pursuing reduced-scale development does not mean abandoning scale; rather, it means taking green development as the guiding principle to transform production processes—from long, high-emission workflows to green electric-arc furnaces, ultra-low emissions, and circular manufacturing—thereby upgrading “large scale” to “large yet refined and large yet strong.” This approach ensures that every ton of capacity delivers greater value, with high-end capacity serving as the robust foundation for enterprises to capture future market opportunities. His remarks were highly acclaimed by numerous industry experts and corporate representatives in attendance, earning sustained and enthusiastic applause.
Looking ahead, Youfa Group will remain committed to its vision of becoming a global expert in pipeline systems, continuously deepen technological innovation and green development, consistently enhance product value-added and core industry competitiveness, and actively promote collaborative progress across the industrial chain. By embracing a new paradigm of high-quality development, Youfa will contribute even greater “Youfa strength” to advancing China’s steel industry toward a new, higher-quality future.
