Recently, the 2025 World Manufacturing Convention was held in Hefei, Anhui, where the China Enterprise Confederation and China Enterprise Directors Association released the authoritative 2025 China Top 500 Manufacturing Enterprises list. Relying on its steady operating scale, complete entire steel pipe industry chain layout, and sustained growth in both domestic and foreign trade revenues, Tianjin Baolai Group successfully made the list, becoming a benchmark representative of high-quality development of the real economy among the steel pipe industrial cluster in Jinghai District, Tianjin.

The China Top 500 Manufacturing Enterprises list is an authoritative reference system domestically for measuring the comprehensive operating strength and industrial competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises. The list is ranked uniformly according to the audited operating revenue of enterprises in the previous fiscal year. The entry threshold for 2025 rose to 17.365 billion yuan, an increase of 303 million yuan over the previous year, with the overall admission standards continuing to rise, imposing higher requirements on enterprises' capacity for large-scale, standardized, and sustainable development. To be included among the Top 500 is full recognition by the industry, the market, and authoritative institutions of Baolai Group's over 30 years of deep cultivation in the steel pipe manufacturing sector.

Since its establishment in 1991, Baolai Group has consistently anchored itself in the real economy track of steel pipe manufacturing, adhering to the integrated development of production, anti-corrosion processing, and foreign trade. The group's plant covers an area of 267,000 square meters, with 8 high-frequency welded pipe production lines, 5 standardized fully automatic hot-dip galvanizing production lines, and a supporting independent epoxy powder electrostatic spraying workshop, achieving an overall annual production capacity of 500,000 tons. It has formed a full-category production system covering welded pipes, square and rectangular tubes, seamless steel pipes, and export-grade American standard fire protection pipes. On the production side, a closed-loop quality control system has been established. All pipes undergo hydraulic pressure testing, zinc coating thickness testing, and substrate spectral re-inspection before leaving the factory, with a full-process heat number traceability management mechanism in place to ensure stable product quality from the source.

Leveraging Tianjin's geographical advantages, the group has simultaneously laid out its import and export trading segment, with its subsidiary Tianjin Baolai International Trade Co., Ltd. coordinating global market operations. The products have obtained a full set of international fire protection pipe certifications including UL, FM, API, FPC, and PED, meeting the specifications of engineering projects in different regions such as North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. They are supplied year-round in bulk to overseas commercial complexes, high-rise buildings, and coastal infrastructure fire protection systems. The export business covers more than 150 countries and regions worldwide, with the proportion of overseas revenue steadily increasing, consistently demonstrating the international supply resilience of domestic Chinese steel pipe manufacturers.

Green and low-carbon transformation is the core focus of Baolai Group's high-quality development. The group's galvanizing production units have completed intelligent environmental protection technological upgrades, establishing a waste acid liquid resource recovery and recycling system, supported by a low-VOC epoxy powder anti-corrosion process. It has been rated as a Class A performance galvanizing manufacturing enterprise in Tianjin, with production emission indicators simultaneously meeting domestic environmental control standards and the green access requirements of European and American imports, reinforcing long-term export competitiveness through green manufacturing. At the same time, the group continues to increase investment in process optimization and standards R&D, accumulating multiple practical technical achievements related to steel pipe anti-corrosion and intelligent quality inspection, driving the upgrade of traditional pipe manufacturing toward high-end engineering support through technological iteration.

The real economy is the foundation of the modern industrial system, and large manufacturing enterprises are the core pillars of regional industrial cluster development. As one of the leading enterprises in the Daqiuzhuang steel pipe industry in Jinghai District, Baolai Group's inclusion in the China Top 500 Manufacturing Enterprises not only confirms the group's comprehensive strength in full-industry-chain operations and dual domestic-and-foreign-trade development, but also directly demonstrates the overall effectiveness of Tianjin's metal pipe industry in transformation and upgrading and deep engagement in the global market.

A representative of the group stated that being named to the Top 500 is a new starting point rather than the finish line. In the next phase, Baolai Group will continue to steadfastly adhere to its main manufacturing business, steadily advancing intelligent production line upgrades, R&D of high-end anti-corrosion steel pipes, and expansion of global market channels, while continuously improving one-stop complete pipe supporting and delivery services. It aims to serve domestic and overseas engineering projects with stable and reliable domestically produced steel pipes, contributing local manufacturing strength to the quality and efficiency improvement of the domestic steel real economy and the stable synergy of industrial and supply chains between China and foreign countries.
