Geko Fluid Control Technology (Changzhou) Wins Valve Supply Bid from CSSC No.703 Research Institute

Geko Fluid Control Technology (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. has successfully won a competitive bidding project from the No.703 Research Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC). The bid award was officially announced on May 7, 2026, under project number TPJG202605070010.

The scope of supply includes ball valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, and check valves – marking an important milestone for Geko in the marine and ocean engineering sector.

German Engineering, Deep Roots in China

Geko Fluid Control Technology (Changzhou) is the core Chinese subsidiary of GEKO, a well-known European control valve manufacturer with over 60 years of history. GEKO is recognized for high-pressure and extreme-temperature resistance, with some products rated up to 60,000 psi and temperature ranges from -252°C to 649°C.

Founded in 2008 with a registered capital of 50.1 million RMB, the Chinese company is headquartered in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. Its new factory, launched in 2022, has an annual production capacity of 120,000 units, manufacturing pneumatic/electric ball valves, butterfly valves, control valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, actuators, positioners, and limit switches.

Proven Track Record: National Flagship Projects

With robust product quality, Geko has participated in multiple prestigious national projects:

High-speed rail: Custom valves for CRRC high-speed train sets, passing 300,000 km road tests.

Ultra-high voltage (UHV) grids: Electric explosion-proof ball valves with a 40-year design life for State Grid.

Aerospace & nuclear power: Supply to rocket launch bases, Pakistan nuclear power projects, and multiple Belt and Road international projects.

Domestic nuclear power: Products applied in major nuclear projects including the “Linglong One” small modular reactor.

Strategic Focus: Hydrogen & New Energy

GEKO’s global strategic priority is the hydrogen energy sector, covering the entire value chain of production, storage, transport, and refueling. Core technologies include anti-hydrogen embrittlement materials, low fugitive emissions, fire and electrostatic discharge protection, and high-pressure (including liquid hydrogen) handling. Applications span hydrogen metallurgy, hydrogen power generation, hydrogen refueling stations, and fuel cell vessels/vehicles.

Leadership Perspective: Hugo Huang

Hugo Huang (Huang Wanzheng), General Manager of Geko Fluid Control Technology (Changzhou), has led GEKO’s China market expansion since 2005. He commented: *"Winning the CSSC No.703 Research Institute project is further recognition of our technical strength and delivery capability. We will continue deepening our presence in marine, nuclear, hydrogen, UHV, aerospace, and other high-end industrial valve markets, contributing to the localization of critical equipment for national strategic projects."*
