On the first workday after the 2026 Chinese New Year, Yantai Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd. plunged into production with full momentum. Driven by technological innovation, the company achieved growth in orders and was highlighted in Yantai Daily for its high-quality development achievements.
At 8 a.m. on February 24th, the production workshop of Yantai Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd. was already a scene of bustling activity. The hum of machinery intertwined with the rhythmic tapping of keyboards, composing the “opening symphony” for the Year of the Fire Horse. Nearby, a brief opening mobilization meeting had just concluded, and all employees swiftly switched from “holiday mode” to “full-speed-ahead mode.”
“The province’s ‘First Meeting of the New Year’ called for action, entrepreneurship, and responsibility. For manufacturing enterprises like us, this means striving for technological excellence and taking the lead in production capacity,” said Liu Xiansheng, R&D Director of Yantai Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd., with unwavering determination. As a manufacturer deeply committed to the high-end pump industry, the company’s products are widely used in critical sectors such as new energy and petrochemicals, all vital to the national economy and people’s livelihoods. Every piece of equipment carries a significant mission, leaving no room for complacency. We must start the year at full throttle to gain an early advantage.
Liu Xiansheng’s sense of urgency stems from a batch of export orders currently being expedited in the workshop. Beside him, a BB2-type centrifugal pump, destined for Kazakhstan, has been fully assembled. Its silver coating gleams brilliantly under the lights. This centrifugal pump is a “heavy cavalry” in the API family and a microcosm of Longgang Pump Industry’s high-end manufacturing capabilities.
“This batch of orders has tight delivery deadlines and high technical requirements, representing overseas clients’ strong recognition and trust in our ‘Made in Yantai’ products,” said Liu Xiansheng, pointing to the busy assembly workers. To ensure timely delivery, the company’s workshop resumed operations ahead of schedule on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. On the 24th, all employees returned to their posts and immediately shifted into full-load operation mode.
Meeting delivery deadlines for orders is a pressing current need, while strengthening innovation and planning for the long term are crucial for development. In the simulation laboratory, another surge of energy—just as vigorous—is at work. The R&D team gathers around simulation workstations, intently conducting fluid analysis simulations for the newly developed high-temperature liquid metal circulation pump. On the computer screens, data such as medium flow velocity and pressure cloud maps continuously refresh with each flicker, each dataset carrying the hope of a technological breakthrough.
“This new pump is more efficient and stable than traditional products. It’s our ‘ace in the hole’ to capture the high-end market during the ’16th Five-Year Plan’ period,” Liu Xiansheng said, barely containing his excitement. “Today is the first workday after the holiday, and the analysis data results are highly promising. We aim not only to move fast but also to excel, contributing green and low-carbon products to drive new quality productive forces.”
Over the past year, Longgang Pump has continued to drive efforts in technological innovation and platform development. It successfully secured approval for a key research and development project in Shandong Province and has been successively recognized as the “Shandong Engineering Research Center for Heavy-Duty Petrochemical Centrifugal Pumps,” the “Shandong Provincial Enterprise Technology Center,” and the “Shandong Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base.” The establishment of this series of provincial-level innovation platforms has empowered the company, laying a solid foundation for tackling technical challenges, attracting and nurturing talent, and advancing industrial upgrades.
In the workshop, production lines are operating at high efficiency, and pump skids stand ready for deployment. Through the “speed” and “passion” evident on this first workday, reporters gained a palpable sense of the long-accumulated momentum driving this enterprise into the new year.
Standing at the threshold of the Year of the Fire Horse, gazing at the bustling yet orderly production scene before him, Chen Peilun, Chairman of Yantai Longgang Pump Industry Co., Ltd., was filled with emotion. In his eyes, this is not just an ordinary work resumption day—it marks a new starting point in the journey of the times.
“In 2025, we laid a solid foundation in technological innovation and platform development. This year, we aim not only to achieve a ‘dual leap’ in production capacity and sales but also to make continuous breakthroughs in critical core domains, striving to build a top-tier high-end pump brand domestically,” stated Chen Peilun. He emphasized the commitment to steadfastly advance the localization of core technologies, vigorously propel the ‘national brand’ of China’s pump industry onto the global stage, and carve out the galloping footprint of Longgang amid the province’s wave of “entrepreneurship and dedication.”
