ALGIERS, Algeria – May 3-7, 2026 – The 28th International Building Materials and Construction Technology Exhibition (BATIMATEC EXPO) was successfully held at the SAFEX Exhibition Center in Algiers. As one of the most influential construction industry events in Africa and the Mediterranean region, this year's exhibition brought together 758 exhibitors from 16 countries, including Türkiye, Italy, Spain, Germany, China, and France.
Tianjin Youfa International Trade Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Youfa International") made its debut at the exhibition with booth number S99, showcasing a comprehensive range of steel pipe products, including welded steel pipes, galvanized pipes, square and rectangular pipes, and steel-plastic composite pipes. These products are widely used in construction engineering, oil and gas transportation, water supply and drainage systems, and other key sectors.
Strategic Expansion into North Africa
Youfa International's participation in BATIMATEC 2026 marks a key step in its North African market strategy. With Algeria being the second-largest economy in Africa and witnessing booming demand in housing and infrastructure — including government plans to build 2 million housing units by 2029 — the market presents significant opportunities for high-quality steel pipe suppliers.
Product Highlights and On-Site Engagement
During the five-day exhibition, Youfa International's booth S99 attracted numerous professional buyers, contractors, and government project representatives from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and other neighboring countries. Visitors showed strong interest in Youfa's high-performance galvanized pipes and steel-plastic composite pipes, which offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability — ideal for Algeria's coastal and desert environments.
The Youfa International team engaged in in-depth discussions with potential clients regarding product specifications, international standards, supply capacity, and logistics solutions. Multiple business leads were generated, with several cooperation intentions already under follow-up.
Quality Assurance and Global Reach
Backed by Youfa Group's advanced manufacturing capabilities and quality control systems, Youfa International's products comply with international standards including API, ASTM, EN, ISO, DIN, and JIS. The company holds key certifications such as API 5L, ISO 9001, and EN10219. With an experienced foreign trade team — over 60% holding CET-6 or equivalent English proficiency — Youfa International has an annual export capacity exceeding 300,000 tons, serving more than 100 countries and regions worldwide.
Looking Ahead
"Algeria is an important trading partner for China in Africa, and a key market in Youfa International's global expansion strategy," said a company representative at the exhibition. "Through our participation in BATIMATEC 2026, we aim to build long-term partnerships with local customers and contribute to Algeria's infrastructure development with high-quality steel pipe solutions."
