Industrial Tendency
The output of water supply and drainage pipe increased by 20% in 2005, universal plastic piping system, such as PP, is main variety.
Plastic pipe application was recommended by national relative policy: “national chemical building materials industry 15th five years plan and development planning guideline”, “Notice on ‘recommended and limited applied technologies of Ministry of Construction' ”. China highlights social saving-type construction with savings of energy, water, materials, and land to promote application of plastic piping system in piping network reconstruction, swage treatment, swage recycle piping, etc.
Booming of urbanization and township construction boasts infrastructure construction and provides opportunities to piping system. Newly-built construction area is about one billion square meters.
Big-sized plastic pipe is applied for drainage and sewage disposal system increasingly. China stresses on environment protection increasingly. In future years, many urban swage farms will be established with big investment in drainage piping. In 2010, medium water will be increased by 30% in planning swage recycle system demanding special laying transport piping system.
Safety drinking water project and irrigation & drainage project in rural areas need massive plastic pipes. Safety drinking water project will be accomplished by 2020.
China is still in economic booming period though macro economy adjustment. West China Development plan, Northeast China Striving plan and South-to-North water diversion plan and Beijing Olympic museum and gymnasium, etc well-known special-sized construction projects were carried out, as well as key projects in resources, traffic, communication, water resource , infrastructure, environment reconstruction, urban business center and residential building construction, etc. also offer more opportunities to plastic piping system.
Additionally, PVC capacity is increased to keep raw materials in rational price, so PVC-U pipe has better performance coast ratio and more application than others. But domestic resin manufacturers were benefited by PEl00,etc grade materials with the following features:
1. The association and the enterprise will stress establishment of brand, and price competitiveness is replaced by brand competitiveness gradually. This industry will be regulated with the result of optimized resources and normative market.
2. Foreign companies also enter Chinese market, which enhance R&D capacity of new products. Domestic plastic piping manufacturers should increase innovation to strengthen its power. Foreign companies will drive domestic products marketing.
3.Heat stabilizer features sanitarian performance, increasing speed of PVC pipe may be lower than that of PE.
Akan International Group
Akan International Group, a new-style building material manufacturer with over a decade history
Aiming at high technology, high quality and big scale, the company strives for a domestic first-class pipe manufacturer in early establishment and promoting new-type pipe development.

As the pioneer of China modern nonmetal piping system, it specializes in manufacturing of PEX pipe and supporting valves and tools under POLYGON brand.
“Baoli ” brand presents professionalism and forward looking in nonmetal pipe, so Akan bought Shanghai Aisheng Chemical Building Materials Co., Ltd. with a big investment in 2005 in order to integrate professionalism and internationalization of nonmetal pipe of Aisheng into own culture.
Present Baoli, a brand of Akan International Group specializes in manufacturing and sale of piping system
Second: heating system, “Saijin” brand
Akan International Group Shanghai Akan New-style Building Material Co., Ltd. is one of the first companies which implemented heating system installation. It's a member of Heating Branch of Shanghai Construction Materials Association with registered capital of 12.5 million yuan, level two national ground heating design & construction qualification certificate and strong services capacities of design, construction and after-sale services.
On top of powerful design, construction and after-sale service capacity, the company manufactures key heating materials, i. e. disperse collector, valve and pipe. It offers the safest guarantee and most complete service.
In 2006, Shanghai Saijin Heating and Ventilation Engineering Co., Ltd. will provide prompt services to clients, including heating system solution, systematic integration, system design, debugging, maintenance and after-sale service, etc.
All infrastructure projects completed
In 2001, the company advanced “brand project” strategy and bought 30000 ㎡ land to establish two warehouses workshops for home & abroad trade and temporary executive office building. With increasingly orders, the board of directors decided to establish one tri-floor workshops and six-floor executive comprehensive building and dormitory building as well as one NOKIA-MAILEFER production line and plastic jetting-molding machines.
New workshop and equipment have been applied, and executive office building and staffs' dormitory building will be used in 2007. The company also offers exterior basketball court, interior gym, library, 600m2 interior recreation room to staffs.
Topping pipe brand—Baoli
Akan passed business establishment period favored by clients at home and abroad. Constant and stabilized quality pipe is our life line. Quality product as the base, Akan committed itself to shaping a topping brand with actions of “Baoli” brand purchasing, resource reorganization, brand reshaping, marketing reform, technological reform, talents storage, team building, etc. “Baoli ” pipe is to do “world-class quality certification, ultra-value localized service ”, i.e. international quality, domestic price and service.
