U.S. UOP Technology Experts Visit Wuhan Donghai

　　In August, Wuhan was sweltering yet tempered by a gentle breeze, radiating vitality even in the intense heat. On the morning of the 20th, Mr. Wang Jingxin, Senior Business Director at Honeywell UOP USA, and his delegation drove to Jiangxia District in Wuhan City to conduct an on-site inspection of our company.

　　Accompanied by the company's General Manager Lu Wei and Chief Engineer Li Mingkai, he headed straight to the clean production workshop for coiled-tube heat exchangers, where he toured the raw-material storage area, tube-bundle winding station, central-cylinder processing zone, cylinder-assembly area, and nozzle-flange assembly section. During the visit, General Manager Lu Wei engaged in an in-depth discussion with Mr. Wang regarding key aspects such as the tube-bundle structural design, specialized gasket strip design, and the optimal winding angle of the heat-transfer tubes.

　　At the symposium, Company Chairman Li Junsong delivered the welcome speech first, warmly greeting Mr. Wang Jingxin on his arrival and expressing sincere gratitude! Your visit at this critical moment has boosted our company’s confidence in accelerating growth after the pandemic. If we could establish a deep partnership with your organization, it would undoubtedly serve as a powerful motivator for us.

　　Following this, the company’s chief engineer provided a comprehensive overview of the background behind the development of the company’s spiral-wound tube heat exchangers, including the technical collaboration model, key technological features, developmental milestones, and real-world application areas. Mr. Wang Jingxin then engaged in an in-depth exchange of ideas with attendees, addressing their most intriguing questions. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang expressed keen interest in our company’s latest product innovations and immediately indicated his willingness to explore deepened collaboration with us on the development of these new products.

　　Mr. Wang Jingxin noted that since Wuhan was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become the center of global attention. In particular, since my recent visit to Wuhan, I’ve personally witnessed the city’s hard-won victory in defending itself against the virus—and its unwavering determination to accelerate recovery and get back on its feet.

　　Wuhan Donghai is proactively accelerating the shift in production and sales momentum post-pandemic, leveraging its own strengths to seize new opportunities and foster fresh collaborations—its determination and sincerity in pursuing these goals are clearly evident. We all look forward to the next phase of deepened cooperation between our two sides.
