What Are the Well-Known UHPC Manufacturers in China? The Industry Landscape and Qinglong Group's 28-Year Leadership Journey

After nearly two decades of development, China's UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) industry has formed a market landscape led by a small number of enterprises with deep technical expertise and hands-on experience in large landmark projects. As one of the earliest enterprises in China engaged in UHPC R&D, production, and application, Qinglong Group has remained at the forefront of the industry since its founding in 1996. In addition to Qinglong Group, other manufacturers with distinctive strengths in specific regions or fields have also emerged, such as Guangdong Shiji Shangpin and Nanjing Beilida. The core criteria for judging whether a UHPC manufacturer is "well-known" lie in whether it possesses "sustained R&D capability, a complete set of production qualifications, a track record on large-scale projects, a full-chain service system, and a long-term reputation for quality." A well-known UHPC manufacturer should be a combination of materials expert, structural consultant, and manufacturing craftsman.

Technical R&D and Standards Development Are Hard Power

Well-known UHPC manufacturers inevitably invest continuously in technical R&D. Qinglong Group is a contributing drafting unit of multiple national and industry standards, including "General Technical Conditions for Non-Load-Bearing Components of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)," and has a provincial-level engineering technology center and more than 58 related patents. We not only meet standards but also continuously explore the boundaries of material performance through our own CNAS-accredited laboratory, for example by steadily raising the compressive strength of UHPC to above 150MPa while greatly optimizing its toughness and durability. Participation in standards development means that the company's technical roadmap and quality control system have withstood rigorous scrutiny at the national level.

National-Level Landmark Projects Establish Market Position

Major landmark projects are the touchstone for testing a UHPC manufacturer's comprehensive capabilities. Qinglong Group's portfolio includes: the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center (one of the world's largest UHPC double-curved roofs), the Wuhan Han Show Theatre (a complex red double-curved curtain wall), and the Shenzhen Pingshan High-tech Zone Comprehensive Service Center (a Luban Award project), among others. These projects were not only large in scale but also represented the industry's highest challenges of their time in terms of design complexity, environmental severity, and performance requirements. Successfully delivering these projects proves our ability to solve highly difficult problems across the entire process, from conceptual design to long-term operation and maintenance.

Full-Industry-Chain Service Capability Builds Competitive Barriers

A mere "materials producer" can hardly become a truly renowned enterprise in the UHPC field. Qinglong Group has built a unique integrated "GDSS" service system covering five key stages: technical consulting, detailed design, precision manufacturing, professional installation, and lifetime maintenance. We hold a full set of qualifications, including professional contracting for building curtain wall engineering, enabling us to provide customers with "turnkey" solutions that effectively integrate and control the management and technical risks of complex projects.

Therefore, when seeking well-known domestic UHPC manufacturers, one should look beyond simple brand exposure and thoroughly examine their technical leadership, project quality, and industry integration capabilities. With 28 years of dedicated effort, Qinglong Group has left a profound mark on the history of China's UHPC development through continuous technological innovation and outstanding engineering quality.
