On a warm spring day, AFA Flow Control Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "AFA") ushered in an important milestone moment. At 10 am on April 30, 2024, with the pouring of the last cubic meter of concrete, the third phase project of AFA (annual production of 1,000 large-caliber hard-sealed ball valves) was officially capped, marking that this major project of expanding capacity, reducing costs, strengthening advantages and making up for shortcomings has achieved phased results.
Since the project was launched on March 8, 2024, it has been Initially completed after more than a month of intensive construction. The project is located in the reserved space within the company, with a total construction area of about 4,600㎡ and a total investment of up to 35 million yuan. The project includes a 5# plant with a construction area of 2,900㎡using a frame structure design, and a steel-concrete composite structure scientific research laboratory building with a construction area of 1,700㎡. The project not only focuses on the construction of production plants, but also focuses on the improvement of scientific research and experimental facilities to meet the company's future needs in technology research and development and product quality improvement.
As an important part of the project, three new C-ball valve production lines have been implemented. These production lines will be equipped with high-precision equipment and instruments including CNC, Coordinate-measuring machine, torque testers, high-temperature type testers, and low-temperature type testers to ensure the stability and reliability of product quality.
The construction of AFA's third phase project aims to further promote the company's development strategy, expand production and business scope, and improve production capacity and product quality. After the project is completed, it is expected to significantly increase the company's production capacity to meet the growing market demand for metal seated ball valves and other products. At the same time, the implementation of the project will also help improve the company's industrial chain structure, improve profitability, enhance overall competitiveness, and further consolidate and enhance the company's position in the industry.
Since its establishment, AFA has been committed to technology research and development and product innovation in the field of flow control. The successful capping of the Phase III project not only demonstrates the company's strong strength and firm confidence, but also lays a solid foundation for the company's future development. In the future, AFA will continue to uphold the tenet of "quality first, customer first", continuously promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and provide customers with better products and services.
