In recent days, the ERA loading area in Tianjin has been brightly lit, with traffic shuttling back and forth.
The on-site staff are busy and orderly checking, handling, and packing, creating a bustling scene.
In the early morning, 9 high container trucks loaded with ERA pipeline products drove out of the
factory area and headed towards Tianjin Port.
It is reported that this batch of products will depart from Tianjin Port, travel south through the
Taiwan Strait, continue to sail southwest, bypass the Strait of Malacca, enter the North Indian
Ocean, pass through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea, then enter the Atlantic Ocean
through the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally arrive at Tangier Port in Morocco. These products will
be used in the "the Belt and Road" investment project, which is also the best epitome of
ERA's participation in China Africa cooperation.
The cooperation and implementation of this project are of great significance at present. From September
4 to 6, the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation
in 2024 was held. General Secretary Xi Jinping announced that China's bilateral relations with all African
countries that have established diplomatic relations have been elevated to the level of strategic relations,
and the overall positioning of China Africa relations has been elevated to a new era all-weather community
with a shared future for China and Africa. The ten major partnership actions of China and Africa to jointly
promote modernization will be implemented.
In recent years, ERA has always responded to the "the Belt and Road", "China Africa Community of
Shared Future" and other initiatives, integrated into the African market, actively participated in the
construction of African projects, and added a new blueprint for China Africa development with the
strength of Made in China and the responsibility of national brands.
01 Integration landmark helps promote modernization development
The Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Presidential Palace of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as one of the symbols of the country,
is the office and residence of the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is located in the
capital city of Kinshasa, the largest city in the country and also the political, economic, and cultural center.
The application of ERA drainage network system in the Presidential Palace of the Democratic Republic
of Congo is an important milestone for ERA in the African market, which not only enhances the country's
image, but also reflects the recognition and trust of the Democratic Republic of Congo in
Chinese manufacturing.
Kenya Defence Forces ResidentialAccommodation
China Railway Tenth Bureau assists in the construction of housing projects for the Kenyan Ministry of
Defense. The project involves the construction of a total of 3069 housing units, located in five construction
sites: Nairobi (Rosambu), Mount Kenya (Nanyuki), Mombasa (Mariyakani), Nakuru (Lannet), and Gilgil.
The Egg King Yun Wan Mu, which is part of the "Four Major Governance Goals" of the Kenyan
government's affordable housing plan, has received high attention from the Kenyan government. After
the completion of the project, it will help boost the morale of the national defense forces, enhance
their cohesion and combat effectiveness. The application of ERA PPR water supply products will
continue to provide stable water supply for the project.
Kenya Commercial Bank Headquarters Building
The headquarters building project of Kenya Commercial Bank, undertaken by China Wuyi, is a landmark
building located in the central business district of Nairobi, Kenya. This building is an important financial
facility in Kenya, showcasing the eloquence of Chinese enterprises in the field of international
engineering contracting and the Tiantai East but Central South Construction awarded the Cheng
Luban Award (Overseas Engineering). ERA supports project construction with high-quality products
and services, strengthening cooperation and exchanges between China and Kenya in the economic
and cultural fields.
02 Jointly building infrastructure to awaken urban modernization
Nairobi Express Way
The Nairobi Expressway is a 27 kilometer toll road that connects the Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, with the Silan region.
The construction and operation of the Nairobi Expressway is an important infrastructure project for the
local area, which improves the transportation efficiency of Nairobi, promotes local economic development
and regional integration. ERA collaborates with China Road and Bridge Corporation to undertake

hazards downstream of HN from 9-14 working days, improves the living water conditions of nearby
residents, and provides important guarantees for reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.
03 Jointly Empowering Manufacturing to Achieve Industrial Modernization
Moroccan New Energy Battery Materials Project
The Moroccan new energy battery material project undertaken by CSCEC is a national industrial
investment project of the "the Belt and Road", which is specialized in listed enterprises of new
energy materials in China.
This project aims to construct production lines for nickel based materials, phosphorus based materials,
and recycled battery materials to high standards. After the completion of the project, it will achieve an
annual production capacity of 120000 tons of refined ternary precursors and their supporting raw
materials, 60000 tons of phosphorus based materials, and 30000 tons of black powder recycling
capacity, continuously promoting the development of the local new energy materials industry.
ERA PE water supply, PPR water supply, and PPR insulation series products are applied in this
project to ensure the first production line of the project is delivered and put into operation in the
fourth quarter of 2024 with high-quality products and services.
At the same time, ERA has established partnerships with numerous large state-owned and central
enterprises, leveraging its strong advantage in overseas market platforms, and actively participated
in multiple aid projects for China's opening-up to the outside world. Chinese aid projects to African
countries such as Zambia, South Sudan, Angola, and Mauritius have all included the presence of
the Chinese zodiac. It is widely used in aid projects for government buildings, judicial buildings,
security schools, police schools, and many other public buildings and facilities.
The African market has always been the core market of ERA's foreign trade sector. As early as 2005,
ERA began to develop and deeply cultivate the African market. Especially in 2019, ERA Corporation
registered and established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Kenya, "Yong Gao Guan Ye Africa Limited",
which achieved localized operation and expansion in the African market. In recent years, the export
volume of the African market has repeatedly reached new highs. The "ERA " trademark has been
registered in 38 African countries and has passed the SANS certification in South Africa. Its business
covers nearly 40 African countries. At present, ERA products have expanded from a single field of
water supply and drainage to more fields such as municipal, agricultural, and fire protection,
providing diversified services for the construction of pipeline networks in more markets in Africa.
In the past, China was a fellow traveler in Africa's pursuit of liberation; In the future, China will also be
a fellow traveler in Africa's pursuit of development. We will continue to actively respond to national
strategies, strengthen product innovation and development, continuously adapt to and integrate into
the African market, enhance our overseas service capabilities, and provide strong support for the
modernization development of Africa with the advantage and strength of maintaining a leading
domestic industry export volume for many years
