The north is a core base of China’s wire and cable industry. Leveraging its industrial heritage, full-chain supporting capabilities, and the policy benefits of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, it has established an integrated industrial cluster encompassing raw material processing, wire and cable production, new material R&D, and intelligent equipment manufacturing. The region’s annual wire and cable output value exceeds 100 billion yuan, reflecting a solid industrial foundation and broad market prospects. Compared with the advantageous industrial clusters in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, the northern wire and cable industry still faces shortcomings such as scattered resources, weak industry-academia-research collaboration, and insufficient resilience of the industry chain. Breaking down barriers to synergy is key to upgrading the industry.
will be held on July 23-24, 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Qingdao Jinshui, Shandong. The conference will focus on three key topics: industrial synergy, green intelligence, and globalization.SMM, together with Shandong Ludong Copper Co., Ltd., invites enterprises from across the entire industry chain to gather, explore opportunities, and propel the quality upgrading of the northern wire and cable industry.

Ludong Copper, fully named Shandong Ludong Copper Co., Ltd., was established on December 17, 2025, with a registered capital of 50 million yuan. It is located in Dongying City, Shandong Province, a key production base for copper smelting and deep processing in Shandong.
Ludong Copper is a mixed-ownership enterprise jointly invested by Hekou Finance and Investment Group and Tianjin Baolai Supply Chain. Its establishment responded to the national call for industrial upgrading and regional economic development.
The company is mainly engaged in copper processing, focusing on the production and sale of copper wire rod for electrical purposes (copper rod). Its Phase I project, with an annual capacity of 100 kt of low-oxygen precision copper rod, will commence production in October 2026. The main equipment includes a 16-18 t/h shaft furnace and an intelligent casting system, adopting internationally leading production equipment and processes to produce T2 continuous casting and rolling low-oxygen precision copper rod. The Phase II project, with an annual capacity of 220 kt of precision copper wire, is planned to start production in May 2027. To further enhance capacity and efficiency, and optimize production equipment and processes to the greatest extent, the Phase II project will adopt a US Southwire continuous casting and rolling line and an Italian Properzi micro rolling mill. The company upholds the principle of “quality first, service first,” aiming to become the most valuable and influential copper conductor supplier in China. By continuously upgrading equipment and product processes, it meets market demand for high-grade copper semis.
