The Wenzhou Cluster: "China's Valve City" Updates

Wenzhou remains the heart of the industry, accounting for nearly 50% of China’s total valve market share.

• The 20th Wenzhou International Pump & Valve Exhibition: Held in May 2025, this event marked a major transition toward AI-integrated flow control. Over 600 companies showcased "Zero-Leakage" technology aimed at the European market.

• Oubei’s "Digital Transformation": Many mid-sized factories in Oubei (Yongjia County) have fully transitioned to unmanned CNC production lines in 2025. This move was triggered by a 15% rise in labor costs and a local government push for "Future Factories."

• Chaoda Valve Group Innovation: Headquartered in Wenzhou, Chaoda recently gained international attention for its metal hard-sealing butterfly valves. Their new "stair-step sealing ring" design has extended valve lifespans by 2.3 times in high-sulfur natural gas environments, securing major contracts in the Middle East.
