Strong steel enterprise with steel-like determination

In mid-August, at the end of the Hunan-Central Plains, new industrialized moving scenes can be seen everywhere. In recent years, the industrial development of Loudi is getting faster and faster. In the first half of this year, the industrial economy took the lead. The city’s industrial investment grew by 51.8% year-on-year, and has achieved excellent results in the province’s new industrialization assessment for the fourth consecutive year.

The old industrial base of our province, which was once very quiet, was at the end of the year. The old trees were new and rejuvenated. It became the trend of the new industrialization in the province.

Strong steel enterprise with steel-like determination

As the province's energy raw material base, Loudi is known as Hunan's “Ruhr” and is an important steel industry center in Hunan. However, in recent years, with the saturation of the steel market, the traditional iron and steel industry is facing increasing pressure. The iron and steel industry with powerful strength has always been on the verge of losing money.

How can we get out of the bottleneck?

Four years ago, Valin Group signed an agreement with ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel company headquartered in Luxembourg, on the technical cooperation framework agreement for automotive panels, electrical steel and stainless steel. Subsequently, in June and August 2008, the two parties successively concluded a joint venture agreement for the automotive plate and electrical steel joint venture to establish an auto sheet and electrical steel joint venture. After the completion of the project, it will rewrite the history of China's high-end auto plates relying on imports for a long time. The iron and steel industry in Loudi is expected to stand out from the convergence platform of the national steel industry and take the lead in breaking through. The new industrialization of the province is of great significance.

However, due to the financial crisis and other factors, this large project that carried missions was silent.

It is the determination of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to use steel-like determination to develop automotive panels and electrical steel. It is also the confidence and hope of Loudi. “Whatever you do, you must do it!” Lin Wu, the former municipal party committee official who was an expert in steel and who views the prospects of the iron and steel market, said loudly.

The leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government personally solve problems, and are highly valued at the provincial and municipal levels. As the impact of the global financial crisis subsided, the Loudi Development Zone struck a hurdle and completed the demolition and relocation task of 2,000 mu of land in the shortest possible time. In mid-May of this year, the one-time most-invested single-unit industrial project in Hunan since the establishment of the new China started quietly.

With a total investment of 12.3 billion yuan, it will produce 1.2 million tons of auto plates, 200,000 tons of amorphous grain oriented electrical steel and 100,000 tons of grain oriented electrical steel. Arcelor Mittal will transfer the most advanced automotive plate production technology and high-grade non-oriented electrical steel production technology to the automotive plate joint venture, and the joint venture will become a world-class supplier of automotive and electrical steel products.

The industrial chain effect formed by Valin Arcelor Mittal will drive the upstream and downstream industries to develop together. By the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, it will realize the industrial cluster of deep-processing 100 billion yuan for fine steel and sheet metal. Its output is equivalent to recreating a new silicon steel in a land with a total area of ​​only 2000 acres.

While Handan Iron and Steel is preparing to reinvent itself to achieve leapfrogging, Cold Steel, which is less than one hundred kilometers away from Handan Iron and Steel, is also in full swing. As a prominent star of the nation’s steel companies in recent years, Cold Steel has adapted to local conditions and led the company's profitability through the use of high-quality rebar products. In the first half of this year, sales revenue was 6.17 billion yuan and profit was 250 million yuan. The iron and steel industry in Loudi, under the impetus of Shaogang, Cold Steel and the construction of automotive electrical and electrical steel projects, is launching a strong impact on the industry of 100 billion yuan.

The emergence of advanced equipment manufacturing industry

In 1989, Liang Wengen resigned from a state-owned enterprise in Wuyuan and took the lead in establishing the Wuyuan Welding Materials Factory in Hunan Province. It was the predecessor of Sany Heavy Industry.

Far-range geese can't forget their hometown. In recent years, the Sanyi Group, which is already at the front end of the international construction machinery manufacturing industry, has once again taken the hometown of Loudi as a strategic priority. In May of this year, Sany Group’s first project to return to Wuyuan and the 1300-acre Sany Zhongyuan New Materials Industrial Park were completed on the first phase. On June 28, the first production line was formally put into operation. This industrial park, which is located in the special steel material heat treatment and pump truck booms, will supply the main raw materials for the 14 branch offices of Sany. After they are completed, the annual production value will reach 4 billion yuan.

Compared with Wuyuan, the layout of Loudi Economic Development Zone is earlier. Thanks to the sincere invitation of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, a few years ago, Sany Huizhuang founded ZTE Hydraulic Parts Co., Ltd. In 2010, Sany ZTE achieved industrial output value of 1.22 billion yuan, and profits and taxes of 90 million yuan. This year, Sany Group also left 80,000 sets of excavation machine cylinder expansion projects to remain in the Loudi Economic Development Zone. It officially started on March 18, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan*** and a total construction area of ​​74,800 square meters. After the project is completed and put into production, it will achieve an annual output value of 6 billion yuan, which will be put into production by the end of October this year.

Located at the end of the March 1st project in Louyuan Road, Louyuan Development Zone and Loudi Development Zone, it is like a huge exclamation point, and Loudi has become China's largest hydraulic cylinder production base in just a few years, ending the cylinder project. The core parts of machinery used to rely on the history of imports in the past. Together with the coal machinery production, electric vehicles, and special vehicles that are gathered in the development zone, the advanced equipment manufacturing industry in Loudi has grown from scratch and has entered the national territory from a high starting point, forming a new industrial cluster of RMB 30 billion at the end of the year.

Due to the rise of emerging industries, in the first half of this year, Loudi's high-tech industry realized an added value of 5.734 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.5%.

The traditional industry expands Liri

In the first half of last year, a source of news was eye-catching. Shunyuan Iron & Steel, the largest profit-taxing company in Wuyuan, was shut down. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, for the sake of new industrialization, the warriors in the Loudi were discontinued and 192 outdated production projects were eliminated, reducing the industrial output value by nearly 10 billion annually. However, the industrial economy still maintains a strong momentum of development. In the first half of this year, the industrial economy accounted for 50.6% of GDP, an increase of 2.6 percentage points year-on-year.

The subtraction makes a multiplication effect and verifies the dialectical relationship between quantity and quality. To explore the mysteries, the road to integration of the agricultural machinery industry in Shuangfeng County opened the door for us.

The agricultural machinery industry that began in the 1950s and 1960s is a bimodal traditional pillar industry. The combined rice machine accounted for 70% of the national market share. Small and full-scale workshop-style factories are planted in cities and towns in Shuangfeng County, and the number is not less than 100. The products with low technical content and similar styles, high procurement, sales, and logistics costs, and vicious competition in the industry have constrained the development of Shuangfeng's agricultural machinery.

In January 2009, the company was led by Nongyou Machinery Co., Ltd. and set up the first enterprise group in Shuangfeng County, Hunan Agricultural Machinery Group, with 10 local companies. Last year, Nongfu Machinery achieved an annual production value of 355 million yuan. The past small board has become a giant ship sailing across the ocean. Farmers' agricultural machinery has become an emerging exporter in Loudi and has already dominated the Southeast Asian market.

"Farmers" five processing labs for processing machinery, electromechanical equipment, farming machinery, agricultural equipment, and pneumatic conveying machinery have been recognized as provincial engineering research centers by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology. The "agriculturist" who is riveting with enthusiasm is ambitious. It plans to achieve an output value of 3 billion yuan within three years and an output value of 6 billion yuan within five years.

In the process of integration, we become bigger and stronger, not just “farmers”. In recent years, Loudi has consolidated more than 400 coal mines into more than 251, consolidated more than 100 cement companies into more than 10, closed down more than 30 small defective plants, and successively subtracted, resulting in a series of industrial upgrades. . The output of coal has risen instead of decreasing, and the cement output has increased from 2 million tons to 10 million tons. After the production of defective products was integrated, Loudi seized the right to set international prices for the production of fakes and obtained the same benefits as the output of the fakes, which had doubled or even tripled in the past. Industrial integration is a traditional industry in Loudi.

On July 27 this year, Mayor Yi Pengfei of Loudi presided over the mayor's office meeting to conduct a special study on the listing of Samadong Rolls. A small and medium-sized private enterprise listed on the market was a special study of the mayor's office meeting. It is trying hard to help it. At the bottom, it is Santai Roller that leads the industry's technical strength and independent intellectual property rights. Sany, more than a decade ago, was a small, undisclosed company in Loudi, and it has become a Fortune 500 company. This piece of land that is full of entrepreneurs, with the wings of capital operation and independent technology, is more worth looking forward to.
