Xinhongji Refractory Flying Against the Wind

In the production workshop of Xinmi City, belonging to Henan Xinhongji Refractories Material Co., Ltd.’s factory, there are only 18 or 9 workers in the factory building with an annual output of 100,000 tons of corundum refractory materials. Brand-new automatic brick-taking robots are under the control of intelligent systems. Running orderly, the entire production area is clean, tidy, spacious, and bright, completely overturning the impression of the traditional workshop scene of disgrace and roaring machines. In recent years, many refractory companies like Xinhongji Refractory have continued to promote intelligent transformation, strengthen R&D and innovation capabilities, and encourage enterprises to push forward bravely on the road of transformation and high-quality development.

As the largest refractory industry base in China, Zhengzhou City has more than 700 refractory enterprises, including more than 300 enterprises above the designated size, mainly distributed in Xinmi, Gongyi, Dengfeng, and other districts and sub-prefecture-level cities. The products are mainly based on high-grade refractory materials such as aluminum-silicon series and fused magnesia-alumina spinel, covering nine categories such as iron&steel, cement, non-ferrous metals, glass, petrochemicals, etc., with various types of stereotyped, amorphous, light, fiber and special refractory materials, there are more than 500 varieties of refractory materials, and the output accounts for 60% of Henan Province and 30% of the whole China respectively, and medium and high-end refractory materials account for 47% of the whole China. Many refractory companies with important influence in China have emerged, such as Zhendong Technology, Ruitai Technology, Xinhongji Refractory, Annike, etc.

In 2021, the Zhengzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the “Zhengzhou “14th Five-Year” New Material Industry Development Plan (2021-2025) (Draft for Comment)”. The “Plan” proposes that by 2025, the output value of the new material industry every year will strive to exceed 100 billion Chinese yuan, driving the output value of related industries to reach 30 billion Chinese yuan also. Among them, the output value of superhard materials strives to exceed 15 billion Chinese yuan, the output value of new refractory materials and new building materials strives to exceed 35 billion Chinese yuan, the output value of advanced metal materials reaches 30 billion Chinese yuan, and the output value of high-performance composite materials, 3D printing materials, and biomedical materials reaches 5 billion Chinese yuan. Over 10 billion Chinese yuan, the output value of new energy battery materials strives to exceed 5 billion yuan, and the output value of electronic information materials dominated by advanced semiconductor materials and new display materials exceeds 10 billion Chinese yuan, cultivating and forming an important 10-billion-level new material industry cluster in Henan Province.

Building a 100-billion-level new material industry cluster. Material prosperity leads to strong manufacturing. The vigorous development of Zhengzhou’s new material industry is inseparable from the strong support of the government. Zhengzhou City is at the forefront of the road of leading new material industry planning and overall planning.
