The 1990s were a unique period of transition in China, shifting from a planned economy to a market economy. During this time, the Zhang brothers from Tangshan, Hebei, known for their bold vision and action, along with several villagers, established the Company in a modest house, following the tide of the era. During the first Spring Festival after the factory was established, most workers had returned home for the holiday when a large-scale power outage occurred. With a shortage of manpower, the cable delivery was at risk of being delayed. The founders, along with a few family members, worked overnight, manually packaging cables in the cold northern winter night.
Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the cables were delivered on time with high quality. The customer, who came to receive the goods, was deeply moved by the sight of the tired and dirty boss and employees, and became HT-HVATON ‘s first long-term partner. From that point on, whether building a reputation in the domestic market or steadily expanding into the global market, the spirit of “integrity and commitment” played a crucial role during key periods of the company’s growth, becoming the cornerstone of HT-HVATON Group’s standing in the market.
After gaining recognition in the domestic market, HT-HVATON Group leveraged the high cost-effectiveness of Chinese manufacturing and, following the global shift of manufacturing from East to West, gradually expanded overseas. However, after 2000, changes in the international economy and market led to an increase in export restrictions on domestic products, and the time for land and sea transportation of exported goods became increasingly extended, causing delays in overseas orders within the industry. HT-HVATON adhering to its founding principle of “integrity,” decisively replaced land and sea transportation with the more costly but time-efficient air transport, choosing to incur losses to ensure timely delivery.
Through relentless efforts, HT-HVATON Group consistently provided high-quality and competitively priced products to overseas customers, and gradually established production bases in Korea, Africa, the Americas, and other regions. HT-HVATON successfully expanded into international markets, earning a solid reputation among global customers.
Over more than 30 years since its establishment, HT-HVATON Group’s subsidiaries under the cable and energy sectors have each blossomed, rapidly finding their own development directions and flagship products. In terms of R&D and innovation, the company focused on the breakthrough point of “technology first, winning with quality.” It achieved breakthroughs in several technological fields such as heating pipes and packaging tubes, reaching the forefront globally. In 2020, to address the challenges of construction operations in ultra-deep wells with long horizontal sections, the company pioneered the 140K Coiled Tubing Unit in the industry.
In response to the construction challenges of 10000m deep wells, building on its rich experience with the original large-scale injection head technology, it further successfully developed the world’s first vehicle-mounted 160K Coiled Tubing Unit (750 Type) at the beginning of 2023, repeatedly leading technological innovation in the industry. In terms of business model innovation, the company established a series of innovative business models, with consignment as a highlight, continuously optimizing supply chain layout and management models, achieving a strong breakthrough, and helping high-quality products gain a larger market share. Through its diligent exploration, HT-HVATON Group found its exclusive “HVATON Method,” a combination of R&D innovation and business model innovation, forming a unique competitive advantage in the global market.
HT-HVATON ‘s innovation is also driven by customer needs. Special environments or cutting-edge demands often give rise to various technical challenges, posing significant R&D and delivery challenges for suppliers. Many customers, before approaching HT-HVATON, had contacted other companies in the industry, even industry giants, but were refused cooperation due to special needs, complex projects, or uncontrollable R&D costs. However, within HT-HVATON, there is a saying: “We are not afraid of technical difficulties, but we are afraid of customer dissatisfaction.” Upholding the principle of customer first and quick response, HT-HVATON actively mobilized the resources of the entire group to provide customers with more competitive products and customized solutions from multiple angles of customer needs and cost control.
HT-HVATON successfully completed the R&D of seamless pipes in the oil and gas extraction cable category within just six months, setting the world record for the fastest R&D speed of similar products. The company’s efficient work style has earned the trust of customers in many fields, making it the core supplier for leading global energy companies. HT-HVATON has won numerous awards, including Global Best Cooperation Award and Global Best Delivery Award, becoming an important supplier in the global industry.
