At the Big 5 Construct Saudi 2025 held from Feb 15 to 18, Zhejiang Yikai Copper Products Co, based in Lishui, Zhejiang province, secured over 10 intent orders that totaled to more than 20 million yuan ($2.75 million).

Located in Suichang county, Lishui, Zhejiang Yikai Copper Products Co specializes in producing PPR ball valves, copper ball valves, angle valves, heating valves, inserts, faucets, pipe fittings, and various manifolds.

Over the past five years, the company has transitioned from primarily domestic trade to a significant increase in foreign trade orders. The exports of its foreign trade currently account for approximately 70 percent of the company's sales, with most products being sold to Middle Eastern countries, according to general manager Yu Xinhua.

"This is our third time participating in the exhibition, and this time, we are mainly displaying a new full-flow valve designed for overseas users," said Yu.

The new full-flow valve is made from a combination of copper and plastic, making it more cost-effective, and its structure is more refined. Since its launch last year, the product has been well-received by foreign buyers.

"The company is expected to realize at least a 30 percent increase in annual output value this year, surpassing 80 million yuan," said Yu.
