According to Shandong Xinze Copper Industry Co., Ltd.: Located in the northern part of the Coal Chemical Industry Park in Shanxian Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shandong, Shandong Xinze Copper Industry Co., Ltd. is an enterprise deeply rooted in the copper industry and driven by innovation. Adhering to the development philosophy of "green intelligent manufacturing and technology leadership," Xinze Copper has gradually grown into a top performer in the circular economy sector. In July 2024, Shandong Yuantong Industrial Development Group fully acquired Xinze Copper, injecting new vitality and momentum into the enterprise.

I. Company Overview: Steady Progress, Laying a Solid Foundation

With a registered capital of 280 million yuan, Xinze Copper enjoys a superior geographical location and convenient transportation. After more than a decade of dedicated efforts, the company has developed into a comprehensive enterprise engaged in the R&D, production, sales, and comprehensive utilization of scrap resources in the copper semis sector.

Xinze Copper's core business covers the comprehensive R&D, production, and sales of copper semis. Its products include copper cathode, anode plates, copper rods, copper busbars, etc., which are widely used in electrical equipment, electronic information, communications, shipping, aerospace, and other fields. Meanwhile, the company is also committed to the dismantling and recycling of scrap home appliances, electronics, wires, and cables, as well as its own import and export trade, forming a complete industry chain.

II. Scale and Capacity: Ready to Lead the Industry Trend

Xinze Copper's project layout is scientific and reasonable. The first phase of the project, with an investment of 2 billion yuan, constructed anode plate, copper cathode, and copper semis processing projects, laying a solid foundation for the company's development. The second phase, with an investment of 3 billion yuan, focuses on promoting a 100,000 mt copper cathode and comprehensive utilization project of precious and rare metals from anode slime, further enhancing the company's core competitiveness. In addition, the company has also implemented a renovation and expansion project with an annual output of 100,000 mt of secondary copper, adopting NGL furnace technology to achieve efficient and environmentally friendly production.

III. Technological Advantages and Production Processes: Innovation-Driven, Creating an Industry Benchmark

In terms of raw material processing, Xinze Copper strictly sorts high/low-purity copper scrap and electronic waste, ensuring raw material quality through processes such as sorting, cleaning, and baling. In smelting technology, the company adopts natural gas fuel + full oxygen combustion technology, which is industry-leading, ensuring the high quality of its products. The copper content in anode plates and the purity of copper cathode both meet high standards, satisfying the needs of high-end markets at home and abroad.

IV. Future Vision: Technology-Led, Marching Towards Global Leadership

Looking ahead, Shandong Xinze Copper Industry Co., Ltd. will take the "technology + green" dual-drive strategy as its orientation, deepening the comprehensive utilization of secondary copper resources, and constructing a closed-loop of the entire industry chain from copper scrap recycling to high-purity copper semis and precious and rare metal extraction. The company will continue to uphold the development philosophy of innovation, greenness, and sharing, contributing to the implementation of the national "circular economy" strategy and continuously striving to become a pioneer in the sustainable development of the global copper industry.

The company has always adhered to the principle of being guided by technological innovation, taking environmental protection as its responsibility, and aiming to balance economic and social benefits. In the future, Xinze Copper will continue to deepen its presence in the copper industry, contributing greater strength to promoting high-quality development in the industry and aiding in the construction of the national ecological civilization.
