What 1123 does

Canglong Group is a Chinese manufacturer and global exporter of prefabricated steel structure buildings, headquartered in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, with production operations in Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City. Founded in 2003, the company operates three advanced factories employing more than 327 workers across 133,200 square meters of total area, of which 58,000 square meters are dedicated to production. The group is organized into international market, domestic market, and R&D departments and claims a cumulative project portfolio of 6,308 completed buildings across 186 countries, positioning itself as a leading steel structure company in Asia.

The company's core technology centers on modular steel structure systems combining H-shaped steel beams, C/Z section purlins, and PU/EPS/rock wool sandwich panels engineered for bolt-on assembly without on-site welding or cutting. Proprietary capabilities include hot-dip galvanizing that delivers 3–6 times the salt-spray corrosion resistance of standard galvanizing, BIM-assisted precision design for zero-deviation assembly, and complete building kits rated for Category 12 typhoons, 8-degree seismic events, and 50+ year service lives in marine environments. The product portfolio spans workshops, warehouses, multi-story commercial buildings, hangars, bridges, cold storage and clean rooms, farm buildings, steel villas, container houses, and standalone sandwich panel and structural component sales.

Canglong operates a B2B project-based revenue model selling one-stop solutions—design, manufacturing, and installation guidance—directly to global clients. Revenue is generated from complete steel structure building contracts, standalone sandwich panel and material sales, custom engineering services, and a recently introduced spot/spot-stock warehouse promotion channel. Pricing is quote-based for custom projects and ranges from $12,524 for a 48.8x12.2x7.3m warehouse kit to $33,116 for a 40x40x8m unit, with delivery included for stock items. The customer base is distributed across industrial manufacturers, warehousing and logistics operators, agricultural businesses, commercial developers, and government projects across six continents. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, an e-commerce storefront for standardized stock warehouses, and participation in international trade exhibitions such as Architect'25 in Bangkok and the Philippine International Construction Equipment Exhibition.
