From October 7 to 10, 2025, Metalurgia2025, the largest and most influential metallurgical industry event in South America, was grandly held at Expoville Convention Center in Joinville, Santa Catarina State, Brazil . As a core platform focusing on the entire metallurgical industry chain technology, this biennial expo attracted 344 exhibitors from 17 countries and 26,000 professional visitors, covering key fields such as steel processing, precision casting, and industrial automation. It has become a strategic window for global enterprises to enter the South American market . Guoyue Hydraulics showcased its core custom cylinder products at Booth B56 and gained wide recognition from South American customers on the second day of the exhibition, injecting new impetus into local production upgrading with precisely tailored solutions.

In metallurgical production scenarios, hydraulic cylinders serve as the core components for power transmission of equipment, and their stability and adaptability directly affect production efficiency and safety. The harsh working conditions in the South American market impose higher requirements on hydraulic products—not only must they withstand dusty and high-load operating environments, but they also need to adapt to the personalized needs of different brand equipment. The custom cylinders exhibited by Guoyue Hydraulics are core solutions tailored to address the pain points of the South American metallurgical industry: adopting high-strength alloy steel cylinder blocks treated with deep quenching, they can withstand pressure up to 45MPa. Equipped with a multi-stage combined sealing system, the leakage rate is controlled within 0.1ml/min, significantly reducing equipment failure risks . Meanwhile, the stroke and installation methods (including trunnion type and flange type) can be customized according to customers' equipment parameters, perfectly adapting to the complex layout needs of metallurgical production lines.

"On the second day of the exhibition, many local metallurgical enterprises took the initiative to discuss cooperation, and they highly recognized the customization accuracy and durability of our products," said the person in charge of Guoyue Hydraulics' exhibition team. A representative from a steel enterprise in southeastern Brazil pointed out after on-site testing that the adaptability of Guoyue Hydraulics' custom cylinders to the existing production line exceeded expectations: "It can quickly respond to our equipment transformation needs, which is exactly the support we urgently need for current production upgrading." Behind this recognition lies Guoyue Hydraulics' in-depth insight into market demand—drawing on the successful experience of Chinese enterprises in the American market, the company has achieved precise matching between products and local needs through systematic research on the models of South American metallurgical equipment and working conditions in the early stage.

In recent years, the South American metallurgical industry has accelerated its transformation towards high efficiency and intelligence, leading to a growing demand for customized hydraulic solutions. As an industry bellwether, the Joinville Metallurgical Expo provides a key bridge for matching technology with demand . Guoyue Hydraulics' participation not only demonstrates the technical advantages of its custom cylinders but also conveys its determination to deepen its presence in the South American market. In the future, referencing the local service experience of peers, the company plans to establish a rapid response mechanism to provide South American customers with full-chain support from solution design to on-site commissioning, shortening the service cycle.

Up to now, Booth B56 of Guoyue Hydraulics continues to welcome a steady stream of visitors. During the remaining days of the exhibition, the company will continue to showcase application cases and technical details of custom cylinders, and conduct in-depth discussions with South American partners on production upgrading paths. A relevant person in charge of Guoyue Hydraulics stated: "The South American market is an important growth pole of the global metallurgical industry. We look forward to taking this exhibition as a starting point to embark on a new chapter of efficient cooperation with local enterprises through reliable customized hydraulic solutions."
