Steel Lattice Reports 25% Surge in Global Trade with Overseas Orders Exceeding 20% of Total Business

Steel Lattice Achieves 25% Growth in Global Trade

Shanghai-based Steel Lattice, a leader in manufacturing old-style steel windows, door and window accessories, and thermal break retro profiles, announced a 25% year-on-year increase in its international trade revenue for Q1 2025. The company's overseas orders now account for over 20% of total sales, marking a significant milestone in Steel Lattice's global expansion strategy

Steel Lattice attributes this growth to rising demand for hot-dip galvanized steel products in markets such as the U.S., Japan, Australia, and Europe. These corrosion-resistant solutions, guaranteed to last 30 years, have become a cornerstone of Steel Lattice's export portfolio

Strategic Focus on High-Demand Export Markets

Steel Lattice has prioritized innovation to align with global trends. The company's 32-series steel windows and 50-series thermal break retro profiles are now widely adopted in heritage restoration projects and modern architectural designs. By leveraging advanced materials like copper-infused thermal break systems, Steel Lattice ensures compliance with international sustainability standards

In 2024, Steel Lattice expanded partnerships with distributors in ASEAN nations, where infrastructure development drives demand for durable construction materials. This aligns with China's broader “Belt and Road” initiatives, which have bolstered cross-border trade opportunities for manufacturers

Expanding Production Capacity to Meet Rising Demand

To support its global ambitions, Steel Lattice increased production capacity by 15% in early 2025. The company's manufacturing facility in Jiading District, Shanghai, now spans 2,300 square meters and employs 56 production workers. Steel Lattice also added 20 specialists in R&D and logistics to streamline export operations

Steel Lattice's investment in automation and eco-friendly coatings has reduced lead times by 30%, enabling faster delivery to clients in Europe and North America. This agility has been critical in securing contracts for large-scale projects, including historic building renovations in France and Italy.

Overcoming Trade Barriers with Competitive Pricing

Steel Lattice's cost-efficient pricing model, supported by China's robust steel supply chain, has helped the company navigate rising global trade tensions. For instance, Steel Lattice's hot-dip galvanized windows are priced 20% lower than comparable products in India and Southeast Asia, making Steel Lattice a preferred supplier for price-sensitive markets.

The company also benefits from Shanghai's logistics infrastructure, including the newly launched direct shipping route to Cambodia's Kampot Port. This route cuts transit time by 50%, ensuring timely deliveries to emerging markets

Future Plans: Diversification and Sustainability

Steel Lattice aims to increase overseas revenue to 30% by 2026 by entering new markets in Africa and the Middle East. The company plans to launch a line of energy-efficient retro windows tailored for tropical climates, combining traditional steel durability with modern insulation technologies

Additionally, Steel Lattice is collaborating with Shanghai's green manufacturing initiatives to reduce carbon emissions by 40% across its supply chain. These efforts align with global demand for sustainable construction materials
