“Lan County is not only about potatoes! We also have more than 20 kinds of mineral resources, and the development and utilization prospects are very broad. At present, the county’s iron ore proven reserves are 1.36 billion tons, and the total coal field area is 220 square kilometers. The development of the foundry industry is very promising!” Li Tiezhen, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Lanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone in Shanxi Province, said confidently.
In order to develop the industrial economy and build a gathering platform for basic materials, spare parts and recycling industries in Shanxi’s foundry industry, in November 2018, Lanxian established a provincial-level economic and technological development zone with the development of high-end precision casting and mining equipment manufacturing as its leading industries. Up to now, 25 enterprises have settled in the development zone, including 11 above-scale enterprises, 4 high-tech enterprises, 2 foreign-funded foreign trade enterprises, 1 provincial-level enterprise technology center, and 4 municipal-level enterprise technology centers.
“Although the development zone has not been established for a long time, its achievements are gratifying. As of October 2021, the growth rate of industrial investment in the development zone is 20%, ranking first in the city. The operating income of industrial enterprises above designated size has reached 10.011 billion yuan, and the output intensity has reached 7.1155 million yuan. /mu, which is 3.55 times the provincial task index.” In Li Tiezhen’s view, Lan County has now opened a new engine for economic development, and the construction and development of the development zone not only provides strong support for Lan County to introduce leading enterprises, but also solves local problems. The employment problem of more than 2,000 people.
Project construction is the first starting point to promote regional development, and development zones are the development positions that promote the implementation of projects. As the first phalanx of Lanxian to attract investment, in recent years, Lanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone has been actively optimizing the business environment, continuously strengthening infrastructure construction, enhancing the ability and level of service enterprise development, and creating a green intelligence that integrates production, education and research. Foundry base to improve the casting level of intelligent equipment in Lanxian County. In February 2020, the district began to promote the construction project of the foundry industrial park in the development zone, aiming at the transformation and upgrading of the traditional foundry industry. After the construction of the industrial park is completed, investors can “move in”.
In addition, Lanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone has also established a “Three Reforms” leading group, which actively seeks policy, capital and project support for the enterprise based on the principle of doing practical things, doing good things and solving problems for the enterprise. “The development zone supports us both in terms of policies and funds. At present, the main problem facing enterprises is the low degree of agglomeration of enterprises in the development zone, the lack of brand advantages and brand effects, and relatively few door-to-door customers. I hope that the foundry industrial park will be built After completion, the development zone can be built into a foundry industry cluster and create a complete industrial chain.” said Wang Bin, general manager of Lanxian Xintianma Foundry Co., Ltd.
In this regard, Li Tiezhen said that after the construction of the foundry industrial park is completed, the development zone will initially form a whole foundry industry chain dominated by iron ore mining, pig iron smelting, precision casting, and equipment manufacturing, with solid waste recycling and new material manufacturing as the mainstay. of emerging industries. Lanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone will closely focus on the “14th Five-Year” transformation and development strategic goals, and create a “1+2+3” industrial transformation and upgrading promotion working mechanism, that is, to improve the “1” policy incentive mechanism; talent training, introduction, Project attraction, transformation and upgrading and empowerment of new energy “2”; adding momentum to the transformation and upgrading of the “three carriers” of the enterprise technology innovation team, the development zone technology sharing platform, and the business incubation center.
From walking on one leg in the past, to the “full bloom” of industrial agriculture today, Lanxian foundry industry started at the beginning, and the scale and speed of development were astonishing. In the next step, Lanxian will continue to optimize the business environment, innovate management, and attract investment. and the three major mechanisms of industry-university-research; focus on solving the four bottlenecks of raw material supply, financing, production capacity, and technology, and promote the high-quality development of the development zone in an all-round way. Focusing on the leadership of party building, investment promotion, project mechanism, basic support, etc., the overall scientific research level of Lanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone will be improved, and an industrial cluster with national influence will be created.
