At the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhu Haodong, Mayor of Chizhou Municipal People’s Government, delivered a speech. He said that the Baomagnesium project is a concrete action to deepen the implementation of the strategic cooperation framework agreement between the Anhui Provincial Government and China Baowu, and jointly build a world-class magnesium-based new material and lightweight application demonstration base.The commencement of the project will drive the downstream magnesium alloy deep processing and lightweight application industries to gather, and support Chizhou to build an industry with core competitiveness.The “World Magnesium Capital” is also of great significance for promoting Anhui’s construction of a national highland for the development of new materials industry and cooperating with the Yangtze River Delta to build a world-class new material industry cluster.
Wang Qiangmin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Baosteel Metal, stated that Chizhou is one of the best areas for the development of magnesium industry due to its rich resource reserves, obvious location advantages and superior investment environment.An important step taken by the “stars and seas, a long journey” is also a good start for all parties to unite their efforts and work together for a win-win situation. In the future, Baosteel Metal will strive to build the project into a green and intelligent global leading magnesium alloy application new material base, build a full magnesium industry chain from ore mining to magnesium alloy production and deep processing applications, and strive to form important emerging industrial clusters in the region. Contribute to the high-quality economic and social development of Chizhou.
Ding Wenjiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, expressed his belief that with the strong support of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government and China Baowu Group, the Anhui Baomagnesium project will definitely embark on a path of independent innovation, and further help magnesium alloy materials become China’s higher technological independence and self-reliance. A model in the level field, I hope that the magnesium industry will achieve greater glory in Chizhou and Qingyang,“Magnesium” dreams come true.
Hou Angui, member of the Standing Committee of the Baowu Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of China Baowu, pointed out in his speech that the smooth start of the Baomei project was mainly due to the correct leadership and strong support of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, as well as from Chizhou City, Qingyang County, and Yunhai City. The sincere cooperation between Metals and China Baowu has benefited from the efficient advancement of the project team. Magnesium-based materials are an important part of advanced materials. China Baowu has great confidence in the huge potential of the magnesium industry. The Baomagnesium project is currently one of China’s Baowu’s largest investment projects in the non-steel field. It is hoped that the project team will give full play to the spirit of arduous entrepreneurship, make every effort to build the project, and strive to put it into operation as soon as possible, achieve production and results as soon as possible, and build the project into a model of green development and smart manufacturing in the new material sector. Qingyang is also another name for spring. I sincerely hope that the Baomagnesium project will take root and grow vigorously in the spring, and build a lightweight metal ecosystem with the Baomagnesium project as the core. It will become a new important industry in Anhui Province and China Baowu as soon as possible, leading magnesium The high-quality development of the metal industry; we also look forward to the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government and the governments at all levels in Anhui Province to continue to support the development of China Baowu’s business in Anhui, including Anhui Baomei, and jointly write a new chapter in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
The project is the “Yangtze River Delta Integrated Development PlanImportant content in the “14th Five-Year Plan”.The project covers an area of approximately2200Mu, total planned investment148100 million yuan, the construction content includes mining, ore processing, magnesium smelting and deep processing of magnesium alloys, etc. It is expected to2023year12It was fully completed and put into production by the end of the month. After the completion of the project, it will effectively drive the concentration of downstream magnesium alloy deep processing enterprises to form a 100 billion industrial cluster in Qingyang County and the adjacent Jiangnan emerging industry concentration area, and become an important magnesium alloy application new material innovation base in China.
