In 2003, Mr. Mike Zhao officially founded Tianjin Galaxy Valve Co., Ltd, started to produce butterfly valves, gate valves, check valves, strainers, balancing valves and firefighting valves etc.
In 2007, the second phase of GALA China production facility was completed and put into use, with the annual production capacity increasing to 510,000 units.
In 2019, the third phase of Galaxy China production facility covering an area of 100,000 square meters was completed and put into use. Under the leadership of Mr. Zhao Hongqiu, Tianjin Galaxy Valve Co., Ltd has become the leading domestic valve production enterprise that applies full-industrial supply chain, which integrating valve casting, processing, color coating, seal processing, assembly, and testing (pics below) for integrated management. This can shorten the supply chain circulation time to the greatest extent, ensure controllable delivery, and control quality in each link in the most direct way. In 2019, the annual production capacity reached 2.2 million units.
GALAXY has an independent R&D center covering an area of 3,000 square meters in the Tianjin production facility. The R&D center is equipped with 5 technical laboratories, which can test the mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion resistance of products and samples. It is also equipped with 6 major test platforms. The platform simulates working conditions such as high temperature and sewage to verify the service life of the product. The R&D center provides strong support for the research and development of new products, the optimization and upgrading of product lines, and the sustainable development of GALAXY products. (Pics: Galaxy owned one Flow Resistance Test Bench in production facility now, which is advanced and unique one in China till now.)
With the practical experience in the field of valve manufacturing and fluid control of Mr. Zhao, as well as the supply chain and technical advantages of elf-research, self-supply and self-production, GALAXY have risen rapidly and has successively developed in water treatment, water supply, HVAC, fire sprinkler system and performed outstandingly. GALAXY products have obtained authoritative qualifications from many countries around the world, such as NSF, Watermark, WRAS, FM, UL, CE, etc., and are supplied to Huawei cloud data center air conditioning system, Malaysia Intel data center, Italian Lamborghini factory fire protection piping, and South Africa Johannesburg drinking water project, Three Gorges Project and many other world-famous projects.
In 2020, GALAXY established a Middle East sales office and a Middle East product warehouse to meet product needs in the Middle East and North Africa.
