On January 14, Hebei Huayuan Science and Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huayuan") and JD Business Procurement officially announced a strategic partnership. Moving forward, the two parties will engage in comprehensive and in-depth collaboration across multiple business scenarios, including digital intelligence in corporate general and industrial procurement, as well as service and operational digitalization. This collaboration aims to build a superior digital intelligence supply chain while injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of Chinese manufacturing and more "little giant" enterprises.
Through this partnership, Huayuan will leverage JD's experience in serving over 20,000 large enterprise groups, 91% of Fortune 500 companies in China, and more than 70% of specialized and innovative SMEs, along with JD Industry's full-chain digital intelligence supply chain advantages. By integrating one-stop full-category product procurement, fulfillment supply chain guarantees, end-to-end digital procurement management, and cost-saving operational services, Huayuan will further solidify its position in the trenchless technology industry.
Huayuan: A National-Level "Little Giant" Enterprise Leading Industry Innovation
Huayuan, a national-level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, has been deeply rooted in the trenchless technology sector for over 30 years. As China's earliest company specializing in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects, Huayuan adheres to an independent innovation philosophy, continuously breaking through technical barriers and achieving multiple globally unique, industry-leading scientific research results. The company independently developed China's first large-scale HDD rig and directional drilling guidance system, not only filling domestic gaps but also showcasing the strength of Chinese manufacturing on the global stage. Its pioneering "drill bit handshake docking" crossing technology has ushered in a new era for trenchless methods. Additionally, Huayuan has successfully pioneered subsea directional drilling for oil and gas pipelines, completing world-class challenging projects such as the "Outer Diaoyu Island–Cezi Island Subsea Pipeline HDD Project" and the "Hong Kong International Airport Jet Fuel Pipeline Reconstruction Project," setting and breaking multiple domestic and global records while earning widespread acclaim in the industry.
As the company continues to expand, Huayuan is committed to high-quality development while demanding greater stability and digital intelligence in its supply chain. It aims to achieve cost reduction and efficiency gains through a one-stop, intelligent integrated procurement platform.
At the signing ceremony, key leaders including Wang Xiaobing, Executive General Manager of Huayuan, Xu Shufeng, Board Secretary of Huayuan, and representatives from JD's government and enterprise business and JD Industrial signed a strategic cooperation letter of intent. Under this partnership, JD Business Procurement will leverage its capabilities in product selection, fulfillment, services, and operations to help Huayuan achieve end-to-end digitalization across pre-procurement, procurement execution, and post-procurement stages, while driving cost efficiency and high-quality development.
Pre-Procurement: JD will efficiently match Huayuan's procurement needs with its vast nationwide supplier network, enabling optimal sourcing and price comparisons. It will also support flexible budget allocation and collaborative procurement to meet unified, efficient procurement management for national projects. Additionally, JD's "buy now, pay later" credit terms will enhance Huayuan's capital turnover efficiency.
Procurement & Fulfillment: JD Business Procurement provides Huayuan with digital tools such as one-click product selection and multi-address ordering, offering intelligent product recommendations tailored to scenarios like engineering projects, production workshops, office operations, and employee benefits. This ensures precise matching of orders with multiple delivery locations. JD's nationwide and global supply chain network guarantees timely, efficient deliveries while optimizing logistics through big-data-driven resource allocation.
Post-Procurement: JD offers automated invoicing solutions, including consolidated invoicing for multiple entities and digital financial-ticket-payment services, streamlining settlement processes, improving efficiency, and ensuring compliance. JD's digital procurement platform also generates quarterly/project procurement reports, providing visualized data insights to refine procurement strategies and achieve closed-loop management.

Wang Xiaobing, Executive General Manager of Huayuan, stated, "Our collaboration with JD will not only standardize supplier management but also significantly enhance procurement efficiency for projects across China and overseas. It will also optimize processes like employee benefits distribution, office supplies management, and financial liquidity, laying a robust digital foundation for Huayuan's future growth."
A JD Government and Enterprise Business representative commented, "The partnership with Huayuan holds significant value, offering a replicable success model for digital transformation and high-quality development in manufacturing.
