On August 6, good news emerged from the Naiman Banner Industrial Park: Inner Mongolia Qijin New Materials Group's stainless steel hot rolling and pickling production line successfully completed commissioning and officially resumed production and commenced operations, with the first batch of qualified stainless steel hot-rolled and pickled coils successfully rolling off the line. The successful start-up of this line marks that Qijin Group's integrated stainless steel entire industry chain system, spanning "ferroalloy – stainless steel smelting – hot rolling – annealing – pickling," is fully ready for production and operation.
It is reported that Inner Mongolia Qijin New Materials Group Co., Ltd., established in April 2017 and affiliated with Hebei Bishi Group, is located in the Naiman Banner Nickel-based Circular Economy Industrial Park. The enterprise is deeply engaged in the field of green, low-carbon new materials, leveraging regional clean energy advantages to lay out and construct production lines for ferronickel alloy, SiMn alloy, high-carbon ferrochrome, stainless steel smelting, hot rolling, pickling, and others, thereby building a closed-loop, complete, green, and efficient nickel-based new materials entire industry chain production system.
This key project covers a total area of nearly 10,000 mu, with an estimated total investment of 21 billion yuan, highlighting its prominent industrial scale and development potential. After the project reaches full production, it is expected to achieve an annual total industrial output value of 70 billion yuan, contribute annual taxes of 3.5 billion yuan, and directly drive employment for over 15,000 people. By leveraging the cost advantages, technical advantages, and industrial radiation advantages brought by entire industry chain integration, it will boost the coordinated development of related industries such as stainless steel deep processing, supporting processing, logistics and transportation, and equipment maintenance, helping the Naiman Banner stainless steel industrial cluster accelerate quality improvement, capacity expansion, and upgrading, and enter the fast lane of high-quality development.
