In order to thoroughly implement the deployment requirements of the municipal Party committee and the municipal people's government regarding the development of the high-end aluminum industry chain, accurately meet the needs of enterprises, and unite development efforts, on March 26th, Zhou Jun, the deputy mayor of Weifang City and a member of the municipal government Party group, led a team to conduct a special investigation in Linqu County. They visited projects on site, listened to reports, and explored ideas, providing guidance and encouragement for the high-quality development of the high-end aluminum industry chain in the city.
During the investigation, Zhou Jun and his delegation first visited Shandong Zhonghong Metal Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct an on-site inspection of the construction and operation of the green circular utilization project for high-performance recycled aluminum with an annual output of 300,000 tons. This project focuses on the efficient utilization of recycled aluminum resources, with green and low-carbon technology at its core, establishing a closed-loop industrial chain of "recycling - smelting - intensive processing". It serves as a benchmark project for the green and circular transformation of the aluminum industry in Linqu. Zhou Jun inquired in detail about the project's production capacity, technological processes, and market applications. He commended the company for adhering to green development and deeply exploring the field of recycled aluminum. He encouraged the company to continue increasing investment in technological innovation, further enhance the added value of recycled aluminum products, and establish a national demonstration model for the green circular utilization of recycled aluminum.
At the subsequent symposium, key enterprises such as Huajian Aluminum Group, Guanghua Aluminum Company, and Hongming Aluminum Company took turns to speak, reporting on their production and operation, development plans, difficulties faced, and suggestions and opinions on the development of the industrial chain. The Linqu County Government provided a comprehensive report on the preparation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" development plan for the high-end aluminum industry chain, the promotion of key projects, and the cultivation of industrial clusters. Departments and units such as the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Industry and Information Technology Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, and Weibai Group conducted a special demonstration on the inclusion of energy-saving doors and windows in the national subsidy policy for trade-in, and conducted in-depth discussions on the policy implementation path, scope of implementation, and subsidy standards, to reach a consensus on promoting the terminal application of aluminum products and expanding market space.
Zhou Jun emphasized that the high-end aluminum industry chain is a dominant and advantageous industry in our city. As the "Aluminum Capital of China", Linqu boasts a solid industrial foundation and significant cluster effect. We must anchor on the goal of building a world-class aluminum processing industrial base and creating a hundred-billion-yuan industrial cluster. Governments and enterprises should work together and make concerted efforts to promote the industry's comprehensive upgrading towards high-end, intelligent, and green development. We must strive to open up market space. We should seize policy opportunities such as the renewal of energy-saving doors and windows, lightweighting of new energy vehicles, and photovoltaic supporting facilities. We should deepen government-enterprise collaboration and departmental coordination, accelerate the implementation and effectiveness of the policy of replacing old energy-saving doors and windows with new ones, expand both domestic and international markets, and increase the market share of aluminum products. We must focus on project introduction and cultivation. We should focus on the shortcomings and weaknesses of the industrial chain, accurately attract high-quality projects such as high-end industrial aluminum, aluminum-based new materials, and deep processing. We should support leading enterprises to grow larger and stronger, and specialized, refined, unique, and innovative enterprises to become more specialized and refined, building an industrial ecosystem where "chain leaders lead and supporting industries collaborate". We must continue to deepen brand building. Relying on the brand advantages of leading enterprises such as Huajian Aluminum, we should integrate industrial resources, create regional public brands, strengthen quality standard leadership, and enhance the brand awareness, reputation, and core competitiveness of "Linqu Aluminum". We must accelerate the transformation and development of the aluminum industry. We should promote digitalization and intelligent transformation of enterprises, vigorously develop recycled aluminum and green aluminum materials, extend the industrial chain, and enhance the value chain, achieving coordinated progress between industrial development and ecological protection.
Next, the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau will fully leverage its role as the leading department in the high-end aluminum industry chain. Taking this investigation as an opportunity, it will carefully sort out the demands of enterprises, refine work measures, and make every effort to break through the bottlenecks in industrial development. It aims to promote the extension, supplementation, and strengthening of the high-end aluminum industry chain, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the city's economy.
