en.Wedoany.com Reported - Procurement scale in China to increase by 40%,
Global top-tier EPC invites you to explore the Middle East's trillion-yuan energy market
Recently, the senior management team of TOPCO, the organizer of the 16th China Petroleum & Chemical Equipment Procurement International Summit & Exhibition (CSSOPE 2026), made a special visit to the Lujiazui headquarters of Samsung Engineering & Construction (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SAMSUNG E&A). They held in-depth discussions with Chairman and General Manager Wonchul Cha, along with the core procurement and project management teams, regarding participation in the summit, procurement matchmaking sessions, and supply chain support for overseas EPC projects. Multiple important consensuses were reached on long-term deepening of global energy supply chain cooperation. During the meeting, in addition to regular procurement items, Samsung Engineering officially released its latest equipment sourcing requirements, seeking high-quality new suppliers from China, with priority given to companies participating in the CSSOPE 2026 Shanghai Procurement Summit.
Global Top-Tier EPC Strategic Upgrade, Significant Expansion of Procurement Scale in China
Samsung Engineering is a globally recognized top-tier EPC contractor in the oil & gas, refining, and chemical sectors. With decades of deep engagement in the Middle East market, it has long undertaken large-scale refinery, natural gas processing, and petrochemical mega-projects for national oil giants such as Saudi Aramco, Kuwait National Petroleum Company, and QatarEnergy. Its massive overseas engineering order volume makes it a core bridge connecting high-quality Chinese manufacturing with the trillion-yuan energy infrastructure market in the Middle East.
During this meeting, Chairman Wonchul Cha clearly signaled Samsung Engineering's strategic intention to increase its reliance on the Chinese supply chain: the company's current procurement of various equipment and materials from China accounts for 10%-15% of its global procurement total. Going forward, it plans to further increase this procurement scale in China by 40%, significantly expanding its qualified supplier database in China. Samsung Engineering will prioritize high-cost-performance, technically compliant domestic oil & gas equipment, offshore engineering components, pipes, valves, pressure vessels, electrical instruments, and other products to comprehensively serve the massive number of ongoing and planned refining and chemical engineering projects in the Middle East.
Two Core Equipment Sourced Publicly, Five Requirements Define Cooperation Threshold
To match the rapidly growing demand from overseas projects, Samsung Engineering is now publicly sourcing two categories of core equipment from domestic suppliers:
Belt Sludge Dryer
Centrifugal Compressor
All interested companies must simultaneously meet the following five core requirements:
✅ Core Requirement: No prior business relationship with Samsung Engineering; seeking entirely new partners with no conflict of interest
✅ Proven and verifiable track record of overseas project performance
✅ Qualification or AVL (Approved Vendor List) status with overseas owners/end-users, or ability to supply directly to overseas owners
✅ Extensive experience in executing full-cycle overseas EPC projects
✅ Experience in international OEM collaboration
Samsung Engineering's procurement team specifically emphasized that suppliers with successful overseas project track records who will participate in CSSOPE 2026 will receive priority for matchmaking. Qualified companies should prepare an English company introduction, a list of overseas project achievements, and contact business cards, submitting them uniformly through the CSSOPE organizing committee.
CSSOPE 2026 Builds a Precise Matchmaking Bridge for Efficient Buyer-Supplier Alignment
As a professional platform dedicated to the petroleum and chemical equipment procurement field for 15 years, CSSOPE has become a core hub connecting Chinese manufacturing with global energy demand. This year's CSSOPE 2026 will be held on July 2-3, 2026, at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing. It is expected to gather 1000+ international buyers, 3000+ professional visitors, and 300+ high-quality exhibitors, covering decision-makers from global top-tier engineering contractors such as Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, NMDC Group (UAE), ENPPI (Egypt), KBR, Samsung E&A, Fluor, Wison Engineering, and China Huanqiu. The summit will focus on owner-driven centralized procurement, cross-border EPC supply chains, green and low-carbon implementation, and localized cooperation.
During this meeting, both parties reached a consensus on Samsung Engineering's deep involvement in CSSOPE 2026. Samsung Engineering will organize its core procurement team to attend the entire summit, engaging in precise discussions with high-quality domestic suppliers through various sessions including the global procurement forum, B2B one-on-one business matchmaking, CEO luncheon, and guest dinner. This will enable rapid screening of qualified partners for inclusion in its global supply chain system.
