The Single Best Infrastructure Investment You’ve Never Heard Of
With $850 billion committed by the Chinese government to delivering access to clean water, little-known ZK International Group (Nasdaq: ZKIN) is well-positioned to deliver significant growth.
5 Key Reasons
Why You Should Strongly Consider ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) Today
1
Clean Water is a Huge Need Within China: With as much as 90% of the nation’s groundwater deemed unfit for drinking, the need is clear. And with $850 billion in government funding committed by 2030, ZK International is well-positioned to help bring sustainable drinking water to those regions that need it most.

ZK International’s Impressive Proprietary Technology & Engineering Capability: The company has been awarded 33 patents…21 trademarks…2 technical achievement awards…and 10 national and industry standard awards – and counting!
3
The Company Has Significant Contracts in Place: These include contracts with water treatment and supply companies…gas and utility suppliers…water infrastructure projects…and thin-walled, stainless steel products for part of Beijing’s Rail Transit Line
4
ZK International’s Stainless Steel Piping Delivers Critical Advantages Over Other Materials: For water infrastructure, stainless steel has been widely accepted as the best material for application in many developed countries. Stainless steel’s pipe strength is significantly higher than that of other materials and is highly corrosion resistant.

ZK International Recently Posted Record Revenues: The company recently announced that its revenue increased 15.77% to a record $49.66 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
The issue of water scarcity is one of the world’s most significant problems.
According to the World Bank, 771 million people – nearly one in ten people around the world – lack access to safe water.[i]
And experts project that by 2025, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
This issue of toxic water is particularly troubling in China, where as much as 90% of the nation’s groundwater is unfit for drinking.
“According to independent think tank the Lowy Institute, approximately 80% to 90% of China’s groundwater is unfit for consumption, while half of its aquifers are too polluted to be used for industry and farming. Fifty-percent of its river water is also unfit for drinking, and half of that is not safe for agriculture as well.”
“Countries like China and India could be among the nations that have a 6 percent drop in GDP by 2050 without efficient water policies…according to a report issued by the World Bank.”
Fortunately, there are companies working to help bring improvement within China and deliver fresh, clean drinking water to help in those regions where it’s most sorely needed.
One of those companies is ZK International Group (Nasdaq: ZKIN)…and their story is one that is most certainly worthy of attention from investors.
ZK International Group is working to supply the next generation in China with clean water through innovative, high-quality water piping infrastructure and proprietary technologies.
The company owns:
- 33 patents
- 21 trademarks
- 2 Technical Achievement Awards
- 10 National and Industry Standard Awards…
- …and it was honored as a specialized “Little Giant” enterprise by China’s Ministry of Industry and IT.
With such an impressive portfolio of awards and intellectual property, ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) is clearly a company with a bright outlook.
But on top of its past history of success – and its impressive list of achievements – there is one other critically important reason why this company is deserving of your attention.
In fact, there are 850 billion reasons.
ZK International is right now exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on the $850 Billion commitment made by the Chinese Government to improve the quality of water by 2030, which has been stated to be 70% unfit for human contact.[v]
Already, ZK International has supplied stainless steel pipelines for over 2,000 projects, which include the Beijing National Airport, the “Water Cube” and “Bird’s Nest”, which were iconic venues for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Beijing International Airport
Beijing National Aquatics Center (“The Water Cube”)
Beijing National Stadium (“The Bird’s Nest”)
As impressive as those projects are, they were just the beginning for ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN).
Emphasizing superior properties and durability of its steel piping, ZK International is providing a solution for the delivery of high quality, highly sustainable, environmentally sound drinkable water not only to the China market but also to international markets such as Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Clean Water Remains an Urgent Priority in China
The seismic shift in population is having a significant impact on China’s urban infrastructure.
While China is home to 20% of the global population, it has just 7% of the world’s freshwater resources.
61.5% of ground water and 28.8% of key rivers in China are classified as unfit for human contact. And over 20% of the water supply is so polluted that it cannot even be used for industrial or agricultural use, let alone human consumption.[vi]
As stated earlier, to help combat this massive problem, the Chinese government has set aside $850 billion to spend on water infrastructure before 2030.
And as the country continues to grow, it has been determined that China will need to provide water for 400 million rural residents and meet the tremendous demands from the agriculture, energy and manufacturing sectors.
In fact, one of the world’s most costly capital projects is the $68 billion North to South Water Diversion Project, which will link China’s four main rivers via more than 1,800 miles of pipeline, and divert water from the south of China to population centers in the north.
This issue of establishing and expanding clean water infrastructure within China is too important to fail.
That’s why the Chinese government is willing to invest so heavily to make it happen…and it’s why a company like ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) appears well-positioned for significant growth as it works to solve this problem.
ZK International is a Leading Manufacturer and Engineer of High-Performance Stainless Steel Products
While ZK International’s primary focus is on supplying the next generation in China with clean water through high-quality piping infrastructure, it’s important to consider that the company is also active in the gas sector.
In fact, ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) is a leading manufacturer and designer of high-performance stainless steel piping and fittings for both the water and gas sectors.
The company’s qualifications include being Quality Management System Certified (ISO9001), Environmental Management System Certified (ISO1401), and a National Industrial Stainless Steel Production Licensee.
Here’s why the natural gas sector is so important to consider for ZK International:
China now has over four times the population of the United States, but consumes just 25% of the natural gas.
As regional markets become more integrated, the entire global gas market will be impacted as China becomes more developed and begins to consume gas more like the Western world.
China’s heavy reliance on coal is eroding air quality within the country and making the switch to natural gas more urgent. As such, gas is now China’s fastest growing major fuel, with quadrupling demand projected in the next decade…
…and all of that gas will need to travel through high-performance, high-quality piping infrastructure.
That’s precisely where ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) enters the picture.
ZK International provides systemic solutions to construction projects that require sophisticated piping systems predominantly in China.
The company’s stainless steel piping offers several significant advantages over other materials, including…
- Higher Strength
- Highly Corrosion Resistant
- Low Water Resistance
- Low Leakage Rate
- 100% Recyclable
Products consist of:
- Cold-rolled stainless steel stripes,
- Regular carbon and stainless steel pipe,
- Light gauge stainless steel pipe, and
- Connections and fittings
Specifications of piping are tailored based on design of clients’ piping system architecture
End users are provided with environmentally friendly and safe water and gas pipeline network
ZK International Posted Record Revenue for the First Half of 2023
In September 2023, ZK International (Nasdaq: ZKIN) announced its financial results for the first half of its fiscal year 2023…and the company posted record revenue.
Triggered in part by an increase in the average selling price as well as a recovery in domestic auto demand, the company achieved an overall increase in sales volume for the period.
ZK International’s revenue increased 15.77% to a record $49.66 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 from approximately $42.89 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022.
