As a key material in fields such as aerospace, integrated circuits, and high-speed rail transportation, high-end copper alloys have increasingly prominent strategic importance. Despite China's copper semis production and consumption ranking first globally for consecutive years, with a self-sufficiency rate of 96% for general copper semis, high-end copper alloy products still heavily rely on imports. To address this "chokehold" challenge, SMM recently initiated an industry resource integration proposal, collaborating with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain, as well as research institutions, to meticulously produce the "2026 China Copper Alloy Materials Sourcing Guide", aiming to advance the localisation process of high-end copper alloy materials and facilitate the transition from a "major material producer" to a "powerful material producer". Wenzhou Yuanding Copper Industry Co., Ltd. actively participated in the joint production of the sourcing guide as a partner, jointly promoting the healthy and rapid upgrading of China's copper alloy materials industry chain.
Wenzhou Yuanding Copper Industry Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the production of high-precision red copper and brass sheets & plates, as well as copper strip. The company currently occupies an area of 26,754.8 m², with a factory space of 23,000 m² and a total investment of 172 million yuan. Equipped with advanced copper strip processing equipment and technology, it adopts domestically advanced processes such as hot rolling with large ingots (weighing over 4 mt), face milling after hot rolling, bright annealing, constant pressure, constant roll gap, and automatic thickness control cold rolling. By perfectly integrating advanced annealing equipment with advanced cold rolling equipment, the company produces products with high precision, stable performance, and a clean, bright surface. These products are widely used in numerous industries, including electronics, power, machinery, instrumentation, household appliances, transportation, NEVs, aerospace, chemicals, and building materials. The company has now formed an annual production capacity of 50,000 mt of high-precision red copper and brass strip, with products sold in over ten provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country. In 2021, the company's total industrial output value exceeded 1 billion yuan, earning it the title of Meritorious Enterprise of 2021.
The company operates in full compliance with a modern enterprise management system, having passed certifications including National High-Tech Enterprise, ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO14001:2015 Environmental Management System, ISO45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, ISO/IEC2000 Information Technology Service Management System, ISO/IEC27001 Information Security Management System, IATF 16949:2,016 Automotive Quality Management System, GRS Certification, Integration of Informatization and Industrialization Management System, Zhejiang Province High-Growth Tech-Based Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise, Municipal "Integration of Informatization and Industrialization" Demonstration Enterprise, Zhejiang Province Hidden Champion Cultivation Enterprise, Longgang City Mayor's Quality Award Enterprise, Longgang City Industry-Talent Integration Party Building Alliance Practice Base, Wenzhou City's First Batch of Industry-Education Integration Sites, and AAA-Level Credit Enterprise Certification for Corporate Credit Evaluation. The company is a governing unit of the China Nonferrous Metals Fabrication Industry Association. It has collaborated with the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shanghai University in "industry-university-research" cooperation, establishing the Yuanding Municipal Enterprise Technology Research and Development Center for High-Precision Copper Plate/Sheet and Strip. The center has developed high-value-added, high-grade copper strip products such as high-precision brass strip for casings, ultra-thin wide brass strip, high-strength and high-conductivity copper-magnesium alloy strip, and high-precision ultra-thin foil strip. Over the years, the company has focused on creating manufacturing equipment suitable for upgrading the quality of copper strip products, enabling its products to match the quality of imported products in terms of mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances, thereby strengthening the company's position in the copper strip industry. Currently, the company holds 3 invention patents and 37 utility model patents. Guided by the principle of "scientific management, ensuring high-quality products, honest service, and maintaining market reputation," the company wholeheartedly provides first-class products and services to a wide range of users.
Over the years, the company has been awarded various honorary titles, including Growth Enterprise, Top 100 Enterprise, and Meritorious Enterprise. Meanwhile, the company has established the Yuanding Copper Foundation, actively participating in charitable endeavors to assist those in need, particularly in supporting impoverished primary and secondary school students in their education and elderly individuals. It has successively received honorary titles such as "Micro-Wishes for the Elderly," "Charity Star," and "Charity Pacesetter" from the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Charity Federation. The company has also collaborated with the Shanghai University Education Development Foundation to establish the "Yuanding Copper Scholarship," aimed at supporting the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shanghai University.
Yuanding products are popular in the domestic market, serving as upstream suppliers for renowned enterprises such as Galanz, Huawei, Gree, Sichuan Aerospace, and Tianqi.
