Here's how the Russia-Ukraine conflict could hurt your hydraulic cylinder parts supply chain

News says Supply Chain Analysts should be looking to make contingency plans

The Dutch multinational banking business Rabobank have been making predictions about what would happen in the event of a conflict in Ukraine and the fallout from sanctions upon Russia.



For example:

  • Oil and Gas: Price Rises Of 50-150%
  • Food and Fertilizer supply will be impacted heavily
  • Metals and Manufacturing will also be impacted greatly, 

Manufacturing supply chains would also be impacted by a conflict or sanctions against Russia. Russia’s share of global nickel exports is estimated to be about 49%, palladium 42%, aluminium 26%, platinum 13%, steel 7% and copper 4%. “That immediately removes half of all global nickel exports for kitchenware, mobile phones, medical equipment, transport, buildings, and power; palladium for catalytic converters, electrodes, and electronics; and a quarter of aluminium for vehicles, construction, machinery, and packaging and would result in huge upside pressure on prices.” Rabobank have stated. 

Focus on the supply of hydraulic cylinders and piston rods, Ukraine and Russia are both large supply markets and large demand markets for hydraulic cylinder components.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the unrest brought about by the war will greatly affect the demand and supply of hydraulic cylinders and their components in Ukraine and Russia. In the past, many European countries and even Russia, etc., would purchase a large amount of steel pipes and steel rods from Ukraine.

The war will change this supply chain. The war has made Ukraine’s production unstable, and international trade uncertainties have increased, and trade risks have surged. Many buyers have turned to other more stable countries, such as Italy or China, which will also bring new business opportunities to factories in these countries.


There are many excellent factories in China, such as brand YOUNGLEE METAL with product line chrome plated piston rods and hydraulic honed pipes also the chrome plated hollow bar. The production experience in the past 20 years ensures their quality is guaranteed, it is believed this time they will get more chrome-plated hollow piston rods, chrome plated hollow bars, honed tube business opportunities.
