On a winter afternoon, the campus of Jiecheng Company is bathed in pale golden sunlight: outside the window, shrubs draped in bright yellow leaves sway gently, the glass of distant buildings reflects the pale blue sky, and the silence is broken only by the soft rustle of wind brushing through the branches.

Pushing open the door into the workshop, this sense of leisure gives way to a bustling, down-to-earth atmosphere — in the light streaming through the large glass windows, silvery-white Valve Insulation Covers are stacked into neat little “hills”. Each one is wrapped in clear plastic film, with edges stitched and cut to fit the contours of the valves perfectly. Workers are bending over to count them; the fabric, brushed by their fingertips, has textures designed to withstand extreme temperatures. These “warming coats for equipment” are meant to help valves in factories across the region get through the harsh winter — keeping the cold out and maintaining stable operating conditions.

As the Year of the Horse (2026) draws near, many clients have placed orders for this batch early, and the stacks in the stockroom grow taller by the day. From precise material cutting to meticulous packaging, every preparation made by Jiecheng is aimed at ensuring these insulation covers, along with the equipment they protect, can stand firmly on duty in workshops throughout the new year.
