On the occasion of the centennial birthday of the Communist Party of China and the prosperous National Day, on September 30, the foundation laying ceremony of Heli (Lu’an) high-end castings and deep processing R&D and manufacturing base project was held in Jin’an Economic Development Zone, Lu’an City, Anhui Province. Hu Chunhua, deputy secretary of the Lu’an Municipal Party Committee, announced the foundation laying of the project. Xue Bai, deputy general manager of Anhui Forklift Group and vice chairman of Anhui Heli Co., Ltd. delivered a speech, and Shu Xuelong, deputy mayor of Lu’an City, and general manager of Anhui Heli Co., Ltd. helped understand Mingguo’s differences Introducing the relevant situation, the main leaders of Lu’an City and Jin’an District and the heads of related units directly under the city and district attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
The Hefei Casting and Forging Factory affiliated to Anhui Forklift Group is a benchmark enterprise in China’s foundry industry and a China green casting demonstration enterprise. Industrial vehicles, automobiles, rail transit, high-end agricultural machinery, etc. provide high-quality castings. In 2020, 280,000 tons of various castings will be sold, and the company is showing a good momentum of development. In order to better meet the needs of mid-to-high-end markets at home and abroad, Anhui Forklift Group decided to build Heli (Lu’an) high-end castings and deep-processing R&D and manufacturing base.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, golden drums were noisy and flags fluttered. Xue Bai pointed out in his speech that Anhui Forklift Group has maintained the leading economic and technical indicators of China’s forklift industry for 30 consecutive years since 1991. Several generations of people have worked hard to start their own businesses and have now developed into a large-scale, complete industrial chain, comprehensive strength and good economic efficiency industrial vehicle research and development, manufacturing and export base, which has made significant contributions to the development of Anhui’s equipment manufacturing industry. As an important part of Heli’s supply chain and industrial chain system, Heli (Lu’an) high-end castings and deep-processing R&D and manufacturing base have high expectations. This project is not only a specific measure for Heli to strengthen the chain, but also to implement the high-quality development proposed by the central government. Goals and specific practices to support the development of old areas. Xue Bai emphasized that the construction of the base project must adhere to high standards, strict requirements, and fast-paced, and achieve the project’s landing and production as soon as possible, and provide casting capacity guarantee for the realization of the “14th Five-Year Plan” goal of Heli, and in order to further promote the construction of Heli-6. Accelerate the integration of the Yangtze River Delta and contribute to the creation of “three places and one district” in our province, especially the construction of scientific and technological innovation sources and emerging industries gathering places.
Shu Xuelong, deputy mayor of Lu’an City, said in his speech that the successful landing of this high-end casting and deep-processing R&D and manufacturing base project is of iconic significance in the development history of Lu’an City and Jin’an District, and will help accelerate the development of advanced equipment manufacturing. It is of great significance and will surely inject strong impetus into the high-quality economic and social development of Lu’an and Jin’an districts.

The project covers an area of 379.72 mu, with a total construction area of about 145,000 square meters, and a total investment of more than 1 billion yuan. After completion, it is expected to produce more than 200,000 tons of castings per year. The annual sales income will reach more than 1 billion yuan and the total profit will exceed 1.2 billion yuan. 100 million yuan. The project is planned to be constructed in three phases, of which the first phase is the V-method casting division, the V-method finishing coating division and auxiliary equipment and facilities, staff dormitories, research and development buildings and canteens, etc.; the second phase is the precision steel casting business Department; The third phase of the construction is the Static Pressure Division. Through supporting a series of international advanced casting technology and equipment, and integrating the concept of “intelligence, digital and green” into the entire production and management links, the project strives to build a domestic leading and internationally advanced green high-end casting industry in the “14th Five-Year Plan” Benchmarking enterprises can not only play a leading role in the development of the local economy, but also further accelerate the development of the foundry industry in Anhui and the whole country, and strengthen the driving force and radiation force of the regional economy.
