Resilience, Partnership, Responsibility
How Chenghui Drilling Tools navigated 2025 — together with customers, employees, and communities.
Published: December 2025 · Chenghui Drilling Tools
2025 was not a smooth year for the global drilling industry. Rising tungsten carbide prices, volatile alloy steel costs, supply chain instability, and increasingly fierce competition put immense pressure on manufacturers worldwide. Yet, facing these challenges, Chenghui Drilling Tools chose not to focus solely on numbers, but on people—our customers, our employees, and the communities connected to every drilling project.
This is not just a financial summary of 2025. It is a story of resilience, collaboration, and responsibility.
Growing Together with Customers
In early 2025, a long‑term customer in Southeast Asia encountered serious problems during a natural gas extraction project. Unstable formations and poor cuttings removal led to premature failure of several standard PDC drag bits.
Instead of offering a quick replacement, our engineering team asked for detailed formation data, drilling parameters, and field feedback. After redesigning the cutter layout and optimising the hydraulic structure, we delivered a custom concave PDC bit solution.
For us, that means more than any sales figure. In 2025, we supplied PDC bits, drag bits, and custom drilling tools to customers across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. But what we truly delivered was reliability—helping contractors complete water wells, gas extraction holes, anchor projects, and geological exploration safely and efficiently.
Stability for Our Employees
Behind every drill bit that leaves our factory is a skilled technician, engineer, or quality inspector. Despite cost pressures from rising global tungsten and alloy steel prices, Chenghui Drilling Tools maintained stable employment throughout 2025. We continued to invest in:
For many employees, this stability meant the world. One of our senior CNC operators shared that a steady job enabled him to support his daughter through university this year. Another young engineer, who joined us in 2023, successfully led his first independent product improvement project in 2025.
When we talk about “drilling tool manufacturing,” we are also talking about livelihoods, careers, and families.
Contributing to Society through Infrastructure & Energy
Drilling tools rarely appear in the public eye, yet they are essential to modern infrastructure.
Rural Water Well Drilling
Safe water for communities
Gas Drainage Systems
Enhanced mine safety
Slope Stabilisation
Foundation reinforcement
Geological Exploration
Supporting energy development
Every efficient drill bit contributes to safer construction sites, cleaner groundwater access, and more stable energy supply systems. As global demand for infrastructure and sustainable energy continues to grow, the drilling industry plays a quiet but vital role. We are proud to be part of that foundation.
Facing 2025 Market Challenges Responsibly
Rising tungsten carbide and alloy steel prices in 2025 forced many manufacturers to adjust pricing strategies.
Instead of passing all cost pressure directly to customers, we focused on engineering improvements to extend product life and increase drilling efficiency. In today’s volatile global market, responsibility builds stronger brands than short‑term profit.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As 2025 draws to a close, we are filled with gratitude—not only for business growth, but for the trust of our customers, the dedication of our employees, and the opportunity to contribute to essential global infrastructure.
The drilling industry will continue to evolve. Raw material markets may fluctuate. Technology will advance.
But one principle remains unchanged:
Reliable tools build a reliable future.
Chenghui Drilling Tools will keep delivering high‑performance PDC bits and custom drilling solutions designed for greater efficiency, enhanced durability, and long‑term partnerships.
