Tianjin Pipe Group serves as a patriotic education base.

Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation is China’s leading energy industry steel pipe base and is affectionately referred to by locals as “Da Wufeng” (The Big Seamless). It was a key national construction project during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period. Construction began in 1989, with successful hot testing achieved in 1992, and official production commenced in 1996. The group's headquarters covers an area of nearly 4 square kilometers, and it currently has 8,995 registered employees. Every step of the company’s growth has been closely tied to the development of Tianjin’s economy, making it a microcosm of the city’s remarkable modernization achievements. Over the past 20-plus years since its establishment, the company has significantly increased its production capacity and economic performance, ranking among the top three steel pipe groups globally in terms of overall strength. In 2013, seamless steel pipe production and sales exceeded 3 million metric tons, maintaining the world’s No.1 position for five consecutive years. The domestic market share of oil well casing has remained stable at around 50%, with exports to over 100 countries and regions, and sales revenue surpassing 100 billion yuan. The comprehensive economic efficiency index has ranked among the top of China’s key steel enterprises for many consecutive years.

Tianjin Pipe Group receives tens of thousands of visitors each year, including party and government officials, corporate employees, students, and people from all walks of life, averaging over a thousand visitors annually. Prior to each visit, the company prepares detailed reception arrangements, designs logical tour routes, and organizes visitors to watch the promotional video “The Thriving Tianjin Da Wufeng,” as well as visit the exhibition hall, the honors room, and production sites such as steel smelting, seamless steel pipe rolling (processing), etc. These activities provide a comprehensive and multi-faceted showcase of the company’s development journey, international strategy, and other achievements, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the outcomes of socialist modernization and large-scale industrial production in the new era, as well as the results of “Made in China.” Many visitors are deeply impressed by the modern, intelligent, and grand production facilities, and are moved by the tremendous transformation of Tianjin’s metallurgical industry—from outdated technology and equipment, incomplete product categories, and low efficiency and output—to the establishment of a complete modern metallurgical industrial system and a rapid increase in production capacity.

In 1997, it was designated as a Tianjin Patriotic Education Base by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
