2025-09-01

On February 20, Hunan Topzone Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. welcomed a dedicated research team led by Zhang Yuexian, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Changsha Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. Accompanied by Wei Chuang (Chairman) and Wei Zhixiang (Director) of the company, the team employed a three-dimensional service model integrating on-site inspections, thematic discussions, and immediate policy implementation to address the company’s development needs. Focusing on core issues such as technological upgrading, market expansion, and policy support, the initiative aimed to empower the national-level "little giant" enterprise (recognized under China’s "Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative" program) with new growth drivers.



In-Depth Research: Recognizing Corporate Strengths, Exploring New Opportunities
The delegation conducted a comprehensive tour of Tianzhuo’s production facilities and innovation exhibition halls, gaining insights into its manufacturing processes, R&D capabilities, and market applications. Director Zhang commended the company’s flagship products—including plastic-coated composite steel pipes, hollow photovoltaic tiles, and UV-cured lining hoses for pipeline rehabilitation—praising them as "a testament to the technological prowess of Changsha’s local enterprises." He encouraged Tianzhuo to leverage opportunities in smart city and sponge city initiatives, align with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s Digital Housing Construction strategy, and enhance intelligent manufacturing and digital integration to further solidify its technological edge.



Direct Problem-Solving: Tailored Solutions, Policy-Driven Confidence
During a government-enterprise symposium, Director Wei Zhixiang highlighted challenges including difficulties in promoting new products, intense local market competition, and talent shortages in innovation. Director Zhang directed on-site responses from department heads and experts from provincial and municipal design institutes:

  • Market Expansion: Advocate for Tianzhuo’s inclusion in government-recommended product catalogs and prioritize its offerings in local key projects.
  • Talent Support: Establish a stationed enterprise liaison mechanism through relevant bureaus to comprehensively assist innovation activities.
  • Policy Advocacy: Promote the owner-supplied centralized procurement model in municipal engineering to reduce costs while ensuring quality and timelines.
  • Industry Collaboration: Lead supply chain coordination meetings to foster deep cooperation with upstream/downstream enterprises and construction firms.

"Serving enterprises means serving the broader development agenda," emphasized Director Zhang. "We are here to solve problems, not just issue directives."

Collaborative Momentum: Government-Enterprise Synergy, Innovation-Driven Progress
Director Wei Zhixiang remarked, "This visit is not a formality—it’s a problem-solving mission. From market access to talent policies, the solutions provided have given us confidence." He reiterated Tianzhuo’s status as a national-level "little giant" enterprise and provincial manufacturing single champion, noting its leadership in drafting 1 national industry group standard, 2 provincial standards, and ongoing participation in 1 national standard and 1 national industry standard. With over 50 patents, the company aims to leverage this research initiative to accelerate R&D innovation, construct smart production facilities, and establish a benchmark for high-end pipeline and green building materials manufacturing in central-south China.



Action-Oriented Approach: Enhanced Services, Accelerated Growth
This research exemplifies the Changsha Municipal Housing Bureau’s commitment to implementing central, provincial, and municipal directives on supporting private enterprises and practicing the four-level grassroots engagement methodology. Chairman Wei Chuang pledged to act on the team’s recommendations by focusing on green, low-carbon technologies and digital transformation, while actively engaging in urban renewal, new energy infrastructure, and underground pipeline network upgrades. Tianzhuo remains dedicated to delivering high-quality products for societal benefit and contributing to Changsha’s vision as a global innovation hub.
