Against the backdrop of a profound restructuring of global industrial chains, China Lesso, a leading Chinese pipeline network enterprise, and Guangjin Group, a comprehensive engineering and trading group with years of deep-rooted operations in Africa, have officially announced the deepening of their strategic partnership. Leveraging Lesso’s localized manufacturing capabilities across multiple African countries and combining them with Guangjin Group’s robust regional distribution and engineering service networks, the two parties will not only fully participate in national-level water conservancy projects for public welfare in Angola, such as those in Bita and Quilonga, but will also jointly expand into Angola’s core inland provinces. In water supply and drainage projects and agricultural irrigation projects in Huila, Huambo, Benguela, Malanje, and Uige, providing integrated services ranging from pipe supply to construction solutions, thereby opening a new chapter of “Chinese technology + African manufacturing.”
▲Liansu Factory Groundbreaking and Commissioning Ceremony
In recent years, Liansu Group has significantly accelerated its industrialization efforts in Africa, achieving a strategic leap from product exports to the establishment of local technological capabilities:
A Successful First Step in Tanzania: Liansu’s first local factory in Africa has officially commenced operations in Tanzania, with an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons, becoming a key hub for the supply of high-quality pipes in East Africa.
▲Guangjin Level 1 Authorized Dealer Certificate
Strategic Expansion in Angola: As the second stop in its African expansion, the construction and operation of LUSO’s production base in Angola signify that the company now possesses manufacturing capabilities capable of providing immediate response to the markets of West and Central Africa.
Expansion Across the African Continent: With the completion of the manufacturing center in Ethiopia and preparations underway for the R&D hub in South Africa, LUSO is building a multi-country “manufacturing + service” closed-loop system across Africa.

Through this close partnership between Guangjin Group and Liansu, one of the core objectives is to provide strategic material support for Angola’s two most critical water projects at present:
The Bita Project: As a key public welfare project aimed at alleviating water supply pressure in Luanda, this project imposes stringent requirements on the pressure resistance and environmental standards of the water supply network.

The Quilonga Project: Focusing on the construction of a strategic water transmission backbone network in the Luanda region, this project serves as a cornerstone for building Angola’s modern infrastructure.
Leveraging its extensive distribution network across Luanda, Lubango, Huambo, Benguela, Malanje, and Huíre provinces, Guangjin Group, in conjunction with the production capacity of Liansu’s local factories, provided a comprehensive service package for the project featuring “localized production, door-to-door delivery, and round-the-clock technical support.” This not only effectively mitigated the impact of international logistics fluctuations on the project schedule but also significantly reduced procurement costs for the government and the general contractor.
The head of Guangjin Group’s Angola division stated: “Our partnership with Liansu goes beyond the mere sale of products; it represents a deep involvement in Angola’s industrialization process. By introducing Liansu’s cutting-edge piping technology to our local factories and leveraging Guangjin’s distribution network—which has been established in the region for over two decades—we are able to apply the highest-quality ‘Made in Angola’ piping materials to critical infrastructure projects such as those in Bita and Quilonga.”
