Jingzhou Footway Foreign Trade Comprehensive Service Co., Ltd. is a diversified export-oriented enterprise based in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, China. The company specializes in providing integrated foreign trade services, supporting the internationalization of both industrial and consumer goods, with particular emphasis on oilfield equipment, petroleum machinery, and beverage products.
Founded as part of China's broader initiative to facilitate SME access to global markets, Jingzhou Footway functions as both a trading house and a foreign trade service center, bridging the gap between domestic manufacturers and overseas importers with tailored export solutions.
Core Business Areas
Jingzhou Footway operates through a dual business model:
1. Industrial Equipment Export Services

Organizational Structure
While the company does not publicly list its executive team, it operates under a private limited company structure, registered and licensed by the Jingzhou Administration for Market Regulation. It also uses a QQ-based customer support and sales system, common among mid-sized exporters in the region.
Challenges and Market Position
As a multi-sector exporter, Footway competes with both specialized petroleum equipment suppliers and high-volume FMCG traders. However, its strength lies in offering bundled export solutions and supporting manufacturers that lack in-house international trade departments.
This positions Footway as a strategic export enabler in Jingzhou's regional economy, especially for the “Made in Jingzhou” initiative aimed at globalizing local production.
Future Outlook
- Expand industrial equipment offering to include renewable energy components
- Grow OEM beverage production with Halal certification for Muslim markets
- Enhance digital presence through B2B e-commerce platforms like Alibaba and Made-in-China
- Establish warehouse hubs in destination countries for faster delivery and inventory control
