Neway to Invest RMB1.2B in High-performance Fluid Control Valve Project for RMB2.5B Annual Output

On April 18, Neway Valve (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. disclosed in an announcement its plan to invest RMB 1.2 billion in a high-performance fluid control valve project to ease capacity constraints triggered by surging orders for power and water service valves. Scheduled for a 12-month construction period, the project is expected to complete in March 2027. Upon commissioning, it will deliver an annual production capacity of 300,000 valves with an anticipated annual output value of RMB 2.5 billion. As disclosed in the announcement, the proposed investment has been approved at the 2nd meeting of the 6th Board of Directors and remains subject to review and approval by the Company’s shareholders’ meeting. The project will be funded via internal resources and self-raised funds; the investment constitutes no related-party transaction nor major asset restructuring. Project Overview and Investment Composition Neway stated that sustained expansion of orders for power valves (including nuclear power and power station valves) as well as water service valves has rendered the company’s existing facilities inadequate in workforce, equipment and plant space to accommodate growing production demands. The proposed new project is designed to predominantly boost production capacity for the aforesaid products and will be constructed at Plot 3, east of the greenbelt along Jialingjiang Road and south of Qinling Road, Suzhou Science and Technology City (east of Italy Industrial Park). Item Specific Figures Total Investment Approximately RMB 1.20 billion Construction Investment Approximately RMB 395.45 million Equipment Investment Approximately RMB 334.99 million Working Capital Approximately RMB 469.56 million Construction Period Around 12 months Planned Annual Output 300,000 sets of valves Estimated Annual Output Value RMB 2.50 billion Market Prospect Analysis As stated in the announcement, global demand for high-performance fluid control valves keeps rising steadily. Domestically, China’s 14th Five-Year Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in the Energy Sector and 14th Five-Year Plan for a Modern Energy System identify nuclear power as a core component of the national energy framework. Accelerated approval of nuclear power projects fuels growing demand for matching nuclear-grade valves. Meanwhile, expedited infrastructure development including water pollution remediation, urban pipeline renovation and hydropower construction has bolstered market uptake of water service valves. Internationally, expansion of global installed nuclear capacity, construction of new Gen III & Gen IV nuclear units, service-life extension of ageing reactors and fast-tracked development of small modular reactor (SMR) projects, coupled with rising requirements for conventional non-nuclear power valves, collectively boost overseas power valve market expansion. Driven by technological upgrades, infrastructure renewal and climate-related investment needs, the global water valve market sees robust demand across long-distance transmission pipelines, wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, municipal fire protection and data center sectors. Risk Warning The Company highlights three major risks as follows: First, project implementation risk . Progress may be subject to national and local industrial, land and other regulatory policies, resulting in uncertainties over construction duration. Second, below-expected economic return risk . Evolving market conditions may lead to weaker-than-projected product demand after project commissioning. Third, liquidity risk. Given the substantial total investment, any external financing would increase corporate indebtedness, and shifts in credit policies may raise financing burdens. Neway stated that the proposed investment is in line with the Company’s strategic development layout, which will effectively ease existing capacity bottlenecks and improve its overall competitiveness and sustainable development capability. The Company will keep track of project progress and fulfill information disclosure obligations in a timely manner.
