Introduction of Shanghai Steel Tube Industry Association
The Shanghai Steel Tube Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as "the Association" or "SSTA") was established in April 2000 at Baosteel in Shanghai, with Baosteel Group Corporation serving as the founding president. Recognized and registered on December 31, 1999, by the Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau with the approval of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, the Association is a statutory, non-profit social organization composed voluntarily of enterprises along the steel tube industry chain and other relevant economic entities. It functions as an industry service and self-regulatory body.
Currently, the Association has over 200 member enterprises, covering a broad range of products including seamless steel pipes, welded steel pipes, composite steel pipes, special-shaped steel pipes, and cold-formed steel profiles. The materials utilized encompass carbon steels (including alloy steels) and stainless steels. Its membership also includes upstream and downstream manufacturers of steel tube equipment, warehousing and logistics service providers, information technology service firms, and steel pipe trading companies.
Adhering to the comprehensive leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Association has established a Party Branch Committee. It steadfastly studies and implements Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, upholding the "Two Establishments" and ensuring the "Two Safeguards," uniting efforts to realize the goals articulated at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The purpose of the Association is to abide by the Constitution, laws, and regulations of the state, serving as the core mission to safeguard the common interests of the industry, facilitate communication between members, government, and society, and promote high-quality industry development. Its guiding principles include aligning with market dynamics, providing professional advisory services, fostering industry standards, and supporting the needs of government and member enterprises. Committed to quality, integrity, capability, and effectiveness, the Association aims to deliver trustworthy, reliable, practical, and effective services to government bodies and steel tube enterprises.
The Association is a member of the China Iron & Steel Industry Association and serves as Vice Chairman of the Steel Pipe Branch of the China Steel Structure Association. In 2008, it was among the first 27 grassroots units recognized by the Ministry of Commerce for fair trade work nationwide. In 2010, it was designated as one of the initial "Shanghai Import and Export Fair Trade Industry Workstations" by the Shanghai Municipal Commerce Commission, subsequently winning the 2018 Excellent Service Award and the "2021 Shanghai Import and Export Trade Excellent Workstation" honorary title.
Responding proactively to the call of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee that "high-quality development is the primary task for building a modern socialist country," the Association is dedicated to helping members reduce costs, improve efficiency, and undertake transformational upgrades. It explores innovations from traditional steel tube manufacturing toward intelligent, green, low-carbon, high-quality development. It guides members to build a new development pattern prioritizing domestic circulation while mutually promoting domestic and international cycles, assisting them in benefiting from major projects along the Belt and Road Initiative, and enhancing its role as a bridge between government and industry. The Association organizes and coordinates member efforts in responding to trade disputes, promotes member products, supports business expansion, and safeguards the collective interests of all members.
The Association firmly believes that during this critical period of advancing Chinese modernization and achieving national rejuvenation, industry associations play an irreplaceable role that other organizations cannot fulfill. It encourages member enterprises to unite, pursue shared development, avoid destructive competition, enhance product competitiveness, and collaboratively establish regional industry advantages.
