Why Thai Foundries Are Choosing Pig Iron from China?

Introduction

Thailand’s foundry industry has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by rising demand from automotive, construction, and machinery manufacturing sectors. As production scales up, more foundries are looking for reliable, consistent, and affordable pig iron sources — and many have found the answer in Chinese suppliers.

Among them, Tiegu, a professional pig iron trading company from China, has earned a strong reputation across Southeast Asia for quality materials and dependable service.

1. Quality That Foundries Can Rely On

China is the world’s largest producer of pig iron, with a mature industrial system and advanced smelting technology.
High-quality Chinese pig iron typically features:

• 3.5–4.5% carbon content for excellent casting performance

• Low sulfur and phosphorus for cleaner metal and fewer defects

• Uniform composition ensuring smooth and predictable melting

These advantages make Chinese pig iron ideal for automotive parts, ductile iron pipes, and precision castings, helping Thai foundries maintain consistent production quality.

2. Stable Supply and Competitive Pricing

Thailand’s domestic pig iron output is limited, so many foundries rely on imports.
China’s strong production capacity and efficient logistics make it possible to provide steady supply and cost-effective pricing, even during market fluctuations.

Through major ports such as Tianjin, Qingdao, and Rizhao, shipments reach Thailand’s Laem Chabang and Bangkok ports quickly and reliably.
This ensures Thai manufacturers can keep their furnaces running without costly downtime or raw material shortages.
