Typically, there was an initiative of Mr. Dinh Van Chu, an electromechanical workshop on increasing the rigidity of two axes to guide the car into the bending machine 11, which helps to improve the productivity and output of the bending machine because there is no need to stop the repairing machine thanks to engraving. overcoming the phenomenon of cylinder head fracture; initiative of Mr. Truong Van Dinh Nguyen (Quality Control Department) on material improvement, reversing the release of strip 3 plating line to reduce raw material consumption, help the roll edge be flat, not protruding, minimize warping, fraying caused by via cutting as well as arising during transportation.

In addition, there are many other innovations that have been applied such as: Improved sliding heads and rising blades to release the number 8 cutting machine, making use of the old main mold as a secondary mold for bending machine, manufacturing compressor seal set. gas, buoy recover oil scum from the surface of cutting oil tanks, change the number of tubes / each bundle of finished pipes, ... contribute to reducing dust, limiting oil scum causing dirty surface of factories and products, increasing productivity, reduce strapping, release products quickly, reduce loading time for customers.

With a scale of 12 hectares, Hoa Phat Hung Yen Steel Pipe Plant has a capacity of over 400,000 tons / year with dozens of cutting, removing and rusting lines and 7 strip plating lines.
