Shenyang Blower Works Group Corporation

What Shenyang Blower Works Group Corporation does

ShenGu Group Co., Ltd (Shenyang Blower Works Group Corporation) is a privately-held Chinese turbomachinery manufacturer founded in 1952 and headquartered at No. 16A Development Road in the Shenyang Economic & Technical Development Zone. The company designs and manufactures centrifugal, axial, and reciprocating compressors, integrated geared compressors (SVK series), centrifugal pumps, blowers, and steam turbines for industrial customers primarily in oil & gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, power generation, and air separation. Its technical portfolio spans from large hydrogen and nitrogen-hydrogen reciprocating compressors (2D40 through 6M50 series) to the world's largest barrel-type centrifugal compressor for 3.8 million tons/year continuous reforming, 25MW high-speed natural gas pipeline booster compressors, and nuclear-qualified pump systems for 1,000 MW reactor units. The MA-type axial blower technology used for blast-furnace applications is licensed from MITSUI Engineering & Shipbuilding of Japan since 2004.

The company operates a 1.6 million m² manufacturing footprint with more than 2,000 machining equipment units and more than 30 test beds capable of testing up to 100,000KW, supported by a workforce of more than 6,500. It runs a sales-led enterprise field-sales model organized into regional offices covering East Asia, South & Southeast Asia, Middle Asia, Europe & Americas, and the Middle East, with SBW INTL functioning as the wholly-owned international subsidiary for global accounts.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of custom-engineered turbomachinery equipment priced on a quote basis against project specifications, with multi-year contracts typical for large infrastructure deployments such as the PetroChina West-to-East Gas Pipeline and the Sinopec Sichuan-East Gas Transmission. The customer base is dominated by Chinese state-owned energy and petrochemical majors — PetroChina, Sinopec, CNPC Pipeline Company, Daqing Oilfield, Shengli OilField, Zhejiang Petrochemical, and Fujian Refinery (a Sinopec/ExxonMobil/Saudi Aramco joint venture) — along with selected industrial gas, coal, and power generation operators. The company holds approximately 80% of China's domestic turbomachinery market share and 80%+ of the Chinese pipeline compressor market, exporting to 40+ countries.
