Discover Tangshan Fushunde Trading Co., Ltd.: Quality Products & Services

China's steel industry is at a critical turning point toward high-quality development. On June 1, 2026, the new version of the Measures for the Administration of Capacity Replacement in the Steel Industry issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially took effect. Tangshan Fushunde Trading Co., Ltd., located in the steel hub of Tangshan, has been in the international trade business for over twenty years. Now the company is trying to steady itself amid the new landscape and keep looking for opportunities in the global steel supply chain.

Tangshan Fushunde Trading Co., Ltd. is part of the Fubaixin Steel Group, which owns several production enterprises including Fubaixin, Xinhai, Dacheng, and Xinyu. The trading company was founded in August 2004 and is located in the center of the Bohai Bay economic circle, close to the ports of Tianjin and Caofeidian.

The company mainly exports construction steel products such as rebar, H-beam, I-beam, angle bar, channel steel, plate, and wire rod. It is a first-tier agent for Tianzhu H-beam and wire rod, Jinxi I-beam, Anshan Baode H-beam, and Shanxi Xintai H-beam. Leveraging Tangshan's abundant steel production capacity and convenient port access, the company sells to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, with annual sales volume reaching one million tons. It is considered a relatively large steel trader in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region.

In terms of qualifications, the company holds ISO9001 certification, EU CE standard certification, and AEO customs advanced certification – these credentials really help with exports.

June has always been the turning point from peak to off-season in the steel market. This year the situation is even more complicated: May's manufacturing PMI fell to the 50% threshold, showing that the economic recovery is not very strong. The EU is increasing trade scrutiny of Chinese steel products, which is hitting exports. Meanwhile, southern China has entered the main rainy season – high temperatures and heavy rain are clearly slowing down construction site activity.

On the price front, Tangshan Qian'an billet is offered at around RMB 3,020/ton. Mainstream section steel prices in Tangshan are barely holding steady: I-beam is quoted at RMB 3,370/ton, angle bar at RMB 3,290–3,370/ton. However, end users are still cautious, only buying low-priced materials, and overall trading is quite weak.

Since the start of 2026, infrastructure construction in Belt and Road countries has been heating up, opening a window for Chinese steel exports.

In Southeast Asia, Phase I of Panghua Group's 10-million-ton steel project in the Philippines is expected to come on stream this month. The first phase involves a US$1 billion investment, and when fully built, the project will have an annual capacity of up to 10 million tons, significantly reducing the Philippines' dependence on imported steel. As local steel processing capacity increases, demand for construction steel will also rise, creating new growth space for Fushunde's exports of basic section steel to the Middle East and Asia.

In Africa, the first disbursement of the syndicated loan for the northern block of the Simandou iron ore mine in Guinea – led by the Export-Import Bank of China – has been made. This is a world-class high-grade iron ore project with annual capacity exceeding 100 million tons, which in the long run will help fill China's domestic iron ore supply gap. The steady progress of Simandou is strategically important for the overseas layout of the entire steel industry chain.

A representative of Tangshan Fushunde Trading Co., Ltd. said the company will continue following the Belt and Road initiative, deepen cooperation with customers in the relevant countries and regions, and further expand its export territory.

With the industry going through deep adjustment, Fushunde has been working on internal management and services. The company has been rated as a Class A tax credit enterprise for several consecutive years, with a good record in compliance and contract performance. The company has a dedicated team for documentation and foreign trade, covering the entire process from contract signing and L/C verification to customs declaration and shipment – they can handle the whole chain themselves. On the supply side, relying on the Fubaixin Steel Group and various partner mills, the company controls product quality and supply stability from the source, ensuring that exported products meet international standards and customer requirements.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Tangshan Fushunde Trading Co., Ltd. believes that although it is currently the traditional off-season with weak supply-demand fundamentals and short-term price pressure, the new capacity replacement rules just implemented by MIIT will, in the medium and long term, accelerate the exit of inefficient capacity and improve industry concentration and operational quality – which will lay a solid foundation for the long-term stable operation of the steel market.

The company says it will continue on the professional, international path, take customer needs as its guide, seek long-term strategic partners around the world, strengthen its supply chain service capability, and deliver more high-quality "Made in China" steel products to infrastructure projects across the globe – contributing some "Tangshan strength" to the world.
