Shanghai, with its unique charm and strong industrial foundation, has given rise to internationally recognized brands. Among these, the control valve industry in the field of automatic control systems stands out, making a significant contribution to the advancement of China's automation sector. The Shanghai Chongming Island Automation Instrumentation Factory VII, formerly known as the Chongming Instrumentation and Telecommunications Factory, has been producing regulating valves since 1966, becoming one of the earliest manufacturers in China's valve industry. After the reform and opening up in the 1980s, the company experienced rapid growth. Soon after, several enterprises such as Shanghai Guanghui Instrument Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Dacheng Instrument Factory emerged, establishing over 20 specialized valve manufacturers on the island. With annual sales of nearly 200 million yuan, Chongming Island gradually formed a comprehensive industrial network.
However, despite this progress, the control valve industry in Shanghai still lacks a unified large-scale production structure, remaining fragmented. This fragmentation weakens the overall competitiveness of the industry. Despite this, Shanghai's valve products possess considerable advantages. First, the level of specialization and cooperation among local companies is relatively high. Second, after decades of development, there are many skilled professionals and technical talents in the industry. Third, each enterprise has its own unique product strengths. For instance, the high-temperature and high-pressure valves produced by the Mesh Seven Plant are rare in the domestic market. The Cv3000 series from Shanghai Guanghui Instrument and Meter Co., Ltd., along with energy-saving valves, filled critical gaps in the national market. These products have also partnered with Japanese manufacturer Hill Production for processing, completing multiple orders and demonstrating the company’s growing strength.
The Dacheng Instrument Factory has developed some specialized products with a certain scale, but it lacks a unified external competitive strategy. To accelerate the development of Shanghai's valve industry, manufacturers should adjust their strategies accordingly. As key equipment for national infrastructure, control valves play a vital role in automated control systems. Therefore, attention should be paid to research and development of corrosion-resistant and high-pressure differential valves. Combining with the development of the IT industry, efforts should focus on solving the challenges of digital control valves.
Additionally, the Shanghai valve industry faces new potential competitors, as some valve manufacturing companies are expanding into similar fields in the area. This will intensify competition in terms of both quality and pricing, leading to a new market structure. In particular, the control valve industry on Chongming Island needs to be restructured, forming a group-based production, sales, and planning system to achieve large-scale development. Establishing the "Shanghai Regulating Valve Group" and building a strong "Shanghai" brand will be crucial steps forward.
With China's accession to the WTO, enterprises on Chongming Island now face not only internal competition but also increasing pressure from foreign companies and large domestic enterprises. Therefore, collaboration and the path of integration have become inevitable trends for the future development of the industry.
