Sichuan Feiqiu (Group) Co., Ltd. has made outstanding progress in high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing transformation. Digital upgrading helps the enterprise evolve from traditional manufacturing to smart production. Its manual all-welded ball valve was included in Sichuan’s “Tianfu Premium Products” certification list (23 certified products in total) on May 10, making it one of the award-winning enterprises in Zigong City.
Intelligent Transformation Reshapes Production System
Traditional valve production relied heavily on manual work with low efficiency, poor precision and unstable quality. Targeting these drawbacks, Sichuan Feiqiu (Group) Co., Ltd. carried out comprehensive smart upgrading. It built digital management via ERP and OA systems and launched MES in 2025 to digitally control the whole process from raw material warehousing to finished goods delivery.
Its smart workshop features real-time data screens for equipment efficiency, output and qualification rates, automated AGV material
transport and high-precision robotic machining with full product lifecycle traceability. The upgrade lifts productivity by over 30% and sharply cuts defect rates.
Innovation Platform Fuels Technical Breakthroughs
Sichuan Feiqiu (Group) Co., Ltd.’s pilot platform for smart low-carbon ball valves drives R&D and commercialization. Focused on core valve technologies, it has developed large-bore all-welded ball valves and secured 36 patents, forming a complete R&D-to-production cycle. Drawing on platform achievements, the firm took part in drafting 12 national and industrial standards. Its smart manufacturing expertise tackles key technical bottlenecks and accelerates upgrade toward intelligent, low-carbon valves.
Talent & Honors Dual Driving Force
In 2025, the company’s innovation team was selected into the Yandu Hundred-Thousand-Talent Program. Headed by professor-level senior engineers and master supervisors, the team has conquered 58 tough industrial technical difficulties. Thanks to outstanding smart manufacturing achievements, Sichuan Feiqiu (Group) Co., Ltd. has been awarded multiple titles including Sichuan Specialized & Innovative SME, Provincial Tech Innovation Demonstration Enterprise and Provincial Industrial Quality Benchmark, as well as national-level Specialized & Innovative "Little Giant". It won the Second Class Prize of China Standard Innovation Award in 2018 and AAA Demonstration Enterprise certification in 2024. These credentials validate its benchmark position in intelligent upgrading.
Rising Market Competitiveness
Driven by intelligent renovation and technical innovation, the company’s valves feature higher precision and stability. Its products have been applied in landmark national projects such as West-to-East Gas Transmission Project, breaking foreign monopoly on high-end valves and setting an example of domestic import substitution. Moreover, the enterprise shares standardized production and intelligent transformation solutions, lifting production efficiency of over 20 supporting suppliers and advancing intelligent coordinated development of local valve industrial cluster.
Certified as Tianfu Premium Product
On May 10, at the Tianfu Brand Night hosted by Sichuan Development & Reform Commission and Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, 23 provincial-certified Tianfu Premium Products were unveiled. The firm’s manual all-welded ball valve made the list with superior technical standards and manufacturing capacity. As a high-end provincial public brand built per international rules, Tianfu Premium serves as Sichuan’s premium quality symbol focusing on innovation, advanced standards, premium quality, brand influence and social responsibility.
Zigong Market Regulation Bureau has set up a tier-managed 2026 cultivation list for Tianfu Premium Products. Feiqiu’s certification inspires more firms to improve quality and build brands.
Future Outlook
Building on current achievements, Sichuan Feiqiu (Group) Co., Ltd. will further integrate digitalization with industrial production and
scale up commercialization from its smart low-carbon ball valve pilot platform. Targeting valve demands in new energy and high-end equipment sectors, it will develop more intelligent and eco-friendly products. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise, the company will advance its dual-driven development of smart manufacturing and standards. It strives to become a top domestic valve manufacturer and standardized production benchmark, sharing replicable Feiqiu experience for China’s manufacturing upgrade.
