Youfa Group Debuts at the 2026 BATIMATEC Building Materials Exhibition in Algeria, Deeply Cultivating the North African Market with Quality as a Medium
From May 3 to 7, 2026, the 28th Algeria International Building Materials and Technology Exhibition (BATIMATEC 2026) was successfully held at the SAFEX Exhibition Center in Algiers. As a "veteran participant" that had previously attended the exhibition twice between 2023 and 2025, Youfa Group made its return appearance at Booth S99 in Hall S. Together with industry peers from around the world, the company witnessed the vibrant vitality of the construction market in Algeria and across the African continent at this premier building materials event in North Africa.
Spanning approximately 40,000 square meters of exhibition space, this year's BATIMATEC brought together 1,038 exhibitors from 16 countries, including China, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Germany, and beyond, while attracting over 56,000 professional visitors for on-site networking and business negotiations. The exhibition floor was bustling with activity, with outdoor displays of large-scale construction machinery and indoor pavilions focusing on new building materials, green building solutions, and smart construction technologies—every corner brimming with opportunities for cooperation and business potential.
At the booth, Youfa Group's steel pipe product series attracted numerous purchasers and engineering contractors from Algeria and neighboring African countries, who stopped by for inquiries and consultations. The staff engaged in in-depth technical exchanges and business negotiations with visiting clients, providing detailed introductions on the products' extensive applications in oil and natural gas transportation, low-pressure fluid conveyance, as well as industrial and civil building structures. The company's superior product quality and professional service attitude won widespread recognition from customers.
As the largest country in Africa by land area and a major economy in North Africa, Algeria is currently in a phase of large-scale construction. This presents vast market opportunities for Chinese building material enterprises.
Youfa Group, as a leading domestic welded steel pipe manufacturer, has been listed among the Top 500 Chinese Enterprises for 20 consecutive years, with its products covering more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. Its third participation in the BATIMATEC exhibition since the pandemic not only represents a resolute step in deepening its presence in the North African market and improving its global footprint, but also serves as a vivid example of promoting "Made in China" to go global and supporting Africa's infrastructure development against the backdrop of increasingly deepening economic and trade cooperation between China and Algeria.
Though the exhibition has come to an end, the cooperation continues. Looking ahead, Youfa Group will continue to leverage its scale and technological advantages in the steel pipe sector, precisely align with overseas market demands, and deliver greater value to global customers with superior products and services, while further enhancing the reputation of Chinese manufacturing on the international stage.
Youfa Group Shines at Buildexpo Kenya 2026, Opening a New Chapter in the East African Market
From July 8 to 10, 2026, the 27th Kenya International Building Materials and Technology Exhibition (Buildexpo Kenya 2026) was grandly held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) in Nairobi. As an important step in its global expansion, Youfa Group showcased its core steel pipe products at this premier building materials industry event in East Africa.
As the fourth-largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya has maintained steady economic growth in recent years. The government's ambitious "Vision 2030" plan has identified infrastructure and construction as key development priorities. Currently, Kenya is actively advancing a series of major infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, rapid urbanization has fueled strong demand for housing, commercial spaces, and office buildings, offering vast market opportunities for the building materials industry.
At the exhibition, Youfa Group's steel pipe product series attracted widespread attention from purchasers and engineering contractors from Kenya as well as neighboring countries including Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia. As a leading domestic welded steel pipe manufacturer, Youfa Group has been listed among the Top 500 Chinese Enterprises for 20 consecutive years, with products covering more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. This participation marks another significant move by Youfa Group to deepen its presence in the African market and enhance its global footprint, serving as a vivid example of promoting "Made in China" to go global amid deepening China-Africa economic and trade cooperation.
Kenya's building materials market relies heavily on imports, with China accounting for over 35% of Kenya's building materials import share. Leveraging its scale and technological advantages in the steel pipe sector, Youfa Group precisely aligned with local market demands and reached preliminary cooperation intentions with numerous clients during the exhibition. Though the exhibition has come to a close, the cooperation continues. Looking ahead, Youfa Group will continue to rely on its superior product quality and professional service capabilities to provide high-quality building materials to the East African and broader African markets, further enhancing the reputation of Chinese manufacturing on the international stage.
