Recently, the Provincial Department of Commerce announced a list of 15 county-level foreign trade characteristic industrial clusters in 2023. The new materials in Yanling County of Zhuzhou City and the chemical industry in Youxian County are on the list. In the later stage, relevant departments will strengthen policy support for industrial clusters with foreign trade characteristics in terms of financial investment, tax incentives, finance, and land, and strive to cultivate industrial competitive advantages.
Why are the two major industrial clusters of Yanling County New Materials and Youxian Chemical Industry selected as the "Provincial Team"?
Yanling built the whole province
The most complete synthetic diamond industry chain
New materials are the forerunner of the development of modern high-tech and the key to upgrading the technical level of traditional industries. In recent years, Yanling County has anchored the direction of high-end, intelligent, and green, insisted on taking the new material industry as the leading factor, continued to optimize the development environment, and vigorously carried out chain-based investment promotion and business-based investment promotion. The scale of the industrial chain and the cluster effect continued to emerge.
At the end of 2016, the headquarters of OKE settled in Yanling. Since then, this leading manufacturer of cemented carbide cutting tools in China has completed the completion and commissioning of the first-phase factory in April 2017 and December 2020, and has been listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. With Okeyi as the investment brand, Yanling County optimizes and integrates resources, continues to extend, supplement, and strengthen the chain, and builds a new material production base, attracting more than 40 enterprises above designated size to gather, forming a complete system from raw materials, processing to finished products industrial chain.
It is worth mentioning that the county's four new material industry chains of CNC cutting tools, tantalum and niobium materials, artificial diamond, and advanced energy storage materials "each have their own capabilities." For example, after years of supplementary chains, Yanling County has formed an industrial chain from graphite, carbon powder, synthetic diamond, micropowder to diamond tools, and built the most complete synthetic diamond industrial chain in the province's parks, which has strongly supported the development of the CNC tool industry.
In 2023, the total output value of Yanling County's new material industry will increase by 25%, reaching 3.5 billion yuan. Okeyi tungsten carbide serrated blade was rated as the single champion product of the national manufacturing industry. This year, it also expanded the Russian market and signed a large order of 150 million yuan, and won the bid for the BMW crankshaft tool project. Jincheng's tantalum and niobium production capacity and export volume are in the leading position in the industry, enjoying the reputation of "the world's tantalum and niobium is in China, China's tantalum and niobium is in Zhuzhou, and Zhuzhou tantalum and niobium is in Jincheng".
You County continues to polish
"Golden Signboard" of Provincial Chemical Industry Park
The construction of the annual output of 50,000 tons of UV acrylate monomer and resin project in Youxian High-tech Zone has entered the final sprint stage and is expected to be completed and put into operation in September. At that time, it will become the largest UV acrylate monomer and resin production base in the central and southern regions, with an annual output value of 1 billion yuan.
In recent years, You County has accelerated the adjustment of its industrial structure. Relying on the carrier advantages of provincial-level chemical parks, it has focused on new polymer materials and fine chemical industries. Supplement and strengthen the chain, realize the transformation from investment attraction to investment selection, and initially form the characteristic driving function of the leading industry.
In the chemical park of Youxian High-tech Zone, a group of enterprises with "unique skills" gathered. Haohua Chemical is the largest manufacturer of nereist poison series products in China. The products are supplied to East Asia and South Asia mainly in Japan, Pakistan and India. In the first half of this year, the company's cartap was awarded the provincial manufacturing single champion product. Aowei Technology, a state-level professional and special new "little giant" enterprise, focuses on the development of water treatment membrane materials and equipment, and its products are exported to Russia, India, Vietnam and other countries. With its self-developed UV acrylic hot-melt adhesive, Evergreen New Materials has won orders for anti-counterfeiting tapes from brands such as Moutai and China Tobacco in one fell swoop. The products are also widely used in Mercedes-Benz car logos, high-speed rail interiors and other fields.
In 2023, the new polymer materials and fine chemical industry in Youxian County will achieve a total output value of 6.52 billion yuan, and the two sub-sectors of adhesives and membrane materials will basically take shape, with a strong momentum of development. In March of this year, the county signed another "big order" to attract investment. The listed company Songjing Co., Ltd. plans to invest 2 billion yuan in the construction of an automotive coating project in Youxian High-tech Zone.
