Manufacturer Zhejiang Yikai Copper Products Company has reported a remarkable performance in the first half of the year, achieving an output of 38 million yuan ($5.29 million), representing a 45 percent year-on-year increase.

Located in Suichang county, Lishui, Zhejiang province, the company specializes in producing a wide range of copper products — including PPR ball valves, copper ball valves, angle valves, and heating valves.

Recently, its assembly workshop was bustling with activity as dozens of gantry robots and workers prepared a large order of copper products for Saudi Arabia.

This surge in activity follows the company's successful participation in the Big 5 Construct Saudi 2025, where it secured overseas orders worth over 20 million yuan.

Since 2019, Zhejiang Yikai has shifted its focus from domestic to international markets, with exports now accounting for 70 percent of its total sales, primarily to Middle Eastern countries.

Yu Xinhua, general manager of the company, attributed the success to high-quality products and very strong customer service.

At the Big 5 Construct Saudi 2025, Zhejiang Yikai's flagship product, a new full-flow valve made from a combination of copper and plastic, garnered significant attention for its unique design and cost-effectiveness.

Additionally, the company is also developing a new mixing valve to enhance its offerings.
