In recent years, Xinghua city in East China's Jiangsu province has made dedicated efforts to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the foundry industry and promote the industry's transition towards high-end, digital, and green development.
Since last year, the city has been promoting rectification within the foundry industry, with a dedicated service team established to facilitate the rectification process.
Previously, among the 244 foundry enterprises in the city, 126 had non-compliance issues with land use, environmental protection, production safety, and other areas, which hindered the high-quality development of the industry. As of now, 106 of them have completed standardized rectification.
Xinghua's foundry industry has long-faced the problem of small enterprise scale and low technological level. In response to this, the city has selected 45 enterprises with great industrial foundation and promising prospects as models and helped them advance intelligent transformation through fund and policy support.
The city is also striving to construct four characteristic industrial areas, including a precision casting area in Dainan town, a high-end alloy precision intelligent manufacturing area in the Xinghua Economic Development Zone, a high-end precision casting area in Chenbao town, and a casting and new materials area in Anfeng town, with efforts made to improve pollution control, process flow, efficiency contribution, and the on-site environment.
Xinghua will provide tailored guidance and encourage leading enterprises, backbone enterprises, and high growth enterprises to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, deepen cooperation with key research institutes and well-known universities, upgrade production processes, and promote product iteration.
