ZongXiang export a batch of China Standard 22kg light rail to Malaysia

In a significant boost to bilateral trade and infrastructure cooperation between China and Malaysia, Henan ZongXiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese supplier of steel rails and railway accessories, has successfully exported a substantial batch of China Standard 22kg/m light rails to Malaysia. This shipment highlights ZongXiang's growing role in supporting Southeast Asia's industrial and logistical development.

The 22kg/m light rail, conforming to GB11264 Chinese national standards (also known as P22 rail), is a versatile product weighing 22.3 kilograms per meter. Manufactured primarily from high-quality Q235 or 55Q steel, it features excellent durability, wear resistance, and load-bearing capacity suitable for light-duty applications. Typically produced in lengths of 6-12 meters, this rail type is ideal for temporary tracks, mining operations, factory internal haulage systems, forest transportation lines, and small-scale crane runways. Its design provides a continuous, smooth rolling surface while offering lower material costs compared to heavier rails, making it a cost-effective choice for projects with loads up to 10 tons.

The export process began when a Malaysian client, seeking reliable rails for an industrial or logistical project, discovered ZongXiang's website. After initial inquiries and detailed discussions, the company customized the order to meet specific requirements, ensuring compliance with international quality standards. Rigorous testing—including chemical composition analysis, tensile strength checks, hardness evaluations, and drop weight tests—was conducted to guarantee product reliability. The batch was then carefully packaged, cleared through customs, and shipped efficiently to Malaysia.

This transaction underscores the strengthening economic ties between China and Malaysia, particularly in the steel and infrastructure sectors. Malaysia's rapid urbanization, expanding manufacturing base, and ongoing projects in forestry, mining, and internal transport create high demand for affordable yet robust rail solutions. Light rails like the 22kg/m variant are especially popular for non-mainline applications, where they help reduce transportation costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance safety by minimizing maintenance needs.

ZongXiang, established in 1997 as a subsidiary of Zhongxiang Steel Group, has over two decades of experience in producing and exporting rails, fasteners, and accessories. The company operates from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, with multiple production lines and a commitment to sustainability through recyclable steel materials. Previous exports to Malaysia include various rail types (such as 12kg, 18kg, 38kg, and 50kg), crane rails, fishplates, and other components, demonstrating a consistent partnership. Globally, ZongXiang has supplied products to over 50 countries, contributing to projects that promote efficient and eco-friendly transportation.

This latest export not only reinforces ZongXiang's reputation as a trusted supplier but also supports Malaysia's infrastructure goals, potentially aiding in reduced carbon emissions through better rail-based logistics. As demand for high-quality Chinese steel products grows in Southeast Asia, deals like this pave the way for deeper collaboration, fostering mutual economic growth and technological exchange.

With a focus on customer satisfaction, innovation, and timely delivery, ZongXiang is poised for further expansions in the region. This successful shipment of 22kg/m light rails marks another milestone in the company's international journey, exemplifying how specialized exports can drive progress in emerging markets.
