As the new year begins, everything takes on a fresh look. SUMEC-ITC’s steel export business has scored a strong start to 2026, with export contract volume in January 2026 surging 488% year-on-year and hitting a historic high.

The company provides export services of domestic steel products including round steel, coated steel, hot-rolled coils, and stainless steel to overseas construction, infrastructure, industrial production and other sectors, contributing the strength of a central enterprise to the transformation, upgrading and international development of China’s steel industry.

In recent years, amid the complex and volatile international trade environment, SUMEC-ITC has stayed committed to deepening its global layout, enhancing professional operation capabilities and achieving steady growth. Focusing on core markets such as Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe, it has built a mature global logistics network and overseas branches. By deeply cultivating regional markets, integrating channels and exploring incremental potential, SUMEC-ITC delivers customized and differentiated supply chain solutions tailored to the demand characteristics of different regional markets and end customers. It also vigorously cooperates with high-quality steel mills at home and abroad, establishes long-term and stable partnerships with mainstream mills in key regions, strengthens quality control and stable supply at the source, and forms a diversified, reliable and competitive resource support system.

In addition, SUMEC-ITC keenly grasps the trend of global industrial upgrading, proactively optimizes its export product mix, and expands into high-quality steel, special steel, sectional steel and other segmented sectors, continuously enhancing the core competitiveness and overall value of its supply chain services.

Forging ahead to open a new chapter, SUMEC-ITC strives to embark on the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Under the strong leadership of Sinomach, the company will focus on its core business of industrial and supply chain operation, further deepen the global resource layout, strengthen core functions and competitiveness, promote high-quality “attraction” and high-level “going global”, and make greater contributions to serving and integrating into the new development pattern of domestic and international “dual circulation”.
