Huadong Coated Glass Attends to Share Shanghai Tai’s Overseas Expansion Experience

2025-11-11

Recently, the Shanghai Construction Association hosted a trade‑exchange conference on overseas expansion for building materials, focusing on the upgrading of demand in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as new pathways for cross‑border cooperation. Huadong Coated Glass, a leading enterprise in the architectural glass value‑added processing sector, was invited to attend, where it gained valuable insights from the collaborative experiences of Shanghai‑based building‑materials firms already operating abroad, thereby injecting fresh momentum into its own internationalization strategy.

At this exchange meeting, Zhong Guoqiang, Director of the Old‑Building Reconstruction Special Committee of the Shanghai Construction Association, shared the outcomes of a September 2025 fact-finding mission to Thailand undertaken by member companies, providing参会 enterprises with highly valuable, practical guidance for strategically positioning themselves in the Southeast Asian market. According to reports, the Thai visit was centered on two key pillars—“localizing technological solutions” and “deepening market penetration”—demonstrating the strong capabilities of Shanghai’s building‑materials firms in technological innovation, standards alignment, and other areas, as well as their agile adaptability to overseas market demands. During the trip, Chinese companies reached clear agreements on cooperation with Thailand’s Lohkarn Industrial Park and Jinchi Industrial Park, and also received enthusiastic responses from local industry leaders such as Siam Group and Hua Sheng Real Estate. All parties plan to advance collaborative upgrades across the value chain through technology sharing, capacity co‑operation, and other initiatives, jointly opening up new growth opportunities in the China–Thailand market and beyond.

East China Coating, together with listed company “Gongyuan Pipe Industry,” Japan’s Topcon Sokkia, NVC Lighting, San Ke Shu, and others, shared their experiences and exchanged insights on their respective export operations. Through this conference, participants actively leveraged industry resources and conducted in-depth explorations of technical standards and cooperation models tailored to the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets.
