Technological leadership: Comprehensively empowering a stable supply of diversified material product lines The brand story of CSM begins with the word“ pioneering.” As one of China’ s first private foreign trade enterprises, CSM-TECH. CO., LTD.( hereinafter referred to as“ CSM”), has demonstrated a forwardthinking strategic vision since its establishment in 1999, focusing on the highly promising field of special materials R & D and production. At a time when the industry was still in its infancy, CSM boldly embarked on an exploratory journey into the materials sector, dedicating substantial resources to the development of special materials such as titanium and titanium alloys, nickel and nickel alloys, and stainless steel, duplex & super duplex. In the field of material production, CSM has accumulated extensive and comprehensive experience. With over 25 years of dedicated focus on titanium plates / sheets and tubes, stainless steel and duplex & super duplex tubes the company has developed an in-depth understanding of these materials’ properties and mastered their refined production processes. For example, in the global titanium industry, only a handful of countries are capable of achieving full-process production— from sponge titanium to finished products. Leveraging
its technological prowess and strategic industrial layout, CSM has established a complete and advanced titanium production system covering all process stages: melting, forging, hot rolling, cold rolling, heat treatment, and final inspection. This makes CSM one of China’ s leading enterprises capable of full-process titanium production. In the nickel alloy domain, CSM boasts nearly 15 years of manufacturing experience. From small-batch trial production to large-scale output, it has emerged as one of China’ s most diverse nickel alloy producers, further strengthening its technological foundation and erecting formidable barriers to entry in the special materials sector. Based on this deep expertise, CSM has expanded strategically, establishing production bases for a wide array of products, including seamless and welded tubes, finned tubes, plates, bars, pipe fittings, forgings, and clad plates, demonstrating robust production capacity and a comprehensive industrial layout. CSM’ s deep materials expertise has laid a solid foundation for its success in the heat exchanger sector. With sharp market insight and strategic resolve, the company made early moves and has since deeply cultivated the field. Leveraging its knowledge of special materials and fine-tuned
