The 10000 ton factory has landed in Guangxi, directly targeting the leading area | Shanghai Free Trade Zone and National Development and Opening up Pilot Zone Strategy Overlay
Investing billions and building a production line of tens of thousands of tons, Lingang enterprises will work together with Baise Resources to achieve deep coordinated development of industries in the east and west, and promote the experience of free trade zones to serve the whole country. Recently, the government of Baise City in Guangxi Province signed an agreement with Shanghai Rongrong New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. for the "Baise City Alumina Fiber Products Project". This project has a total investment of approximately 10.7 billion yuan and aims to build an advanced manufacturing base for Rongrong New Materials with an annual output of approximately 10000 tons in Baise.
Aluminum oxide fiber is an internationally recognized new generation of main materials for high-temperature resistant hot end components, suitable for high-end fields such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, thermoelectric, petrochemical, semiconductor, automotive, and high-temperature furnaces. Previously, China's alumina continuous fiber industry was unable to achieve large-scale industrial production. In 2019, Rongrong New Materials settled in Lingang, focusing on the research and production of high-temperature resistant alumina continuous fibers. At present, Rongrong New Materials has a production capacity of 400 tons/year for continuous alumina fibers and filament products, and 600 tons/year for alumina short fibers, making it the largest alumina fiber manufacturer in China with scale advantages.
In 2022, Rongrong New Materials became the third enterprise in the world and the first in China to have the industrial production capacity of continuous alumina fibers. At present, our main products include a series of alumina continuous fibers, fabrics, ribbons, ropes, sleeves, yarns, sewing threads, needle punched blankets, etc., which are widely used in high-end composite materials such as resins, metals, ceramics, etc. According to this agreement, the Rongrong New Materials Advanced Manufacturing Base project will integrate the advantageous resources and technologies of new high-temperature resistant fiber materials at home and abroad. Through independent research and innovation experiments, the focus will be on the research and production of civilian products of alumina fibers.
The reporter learned that this cooperation is also a vivid case of the deep integration of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone and the national key development and opening up pilot zone strategy. The Lingang New Area of the Free Trade Zone, as a highland of the national free trade strategy, has been continuously practicing greater efforts to take the lead and open up to the outside world at a higher level in recent years; Guangxi Baise Key Development and Opening up Pilot Zone is a pilot zone approved by the State Council. It is an important node city for the country to promote the construction of the new land and sea channel in the west and the "the Belt and Road", and is also the front and window of China's opening up and cooperation to ASEAN. Through industrial linkage, both sides have further strengthened the construction of a unified regional market, as well as the rational layout of supply chains and industrial collaboration. Wang Ziyuan, Director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau of Baise City, revealed that after the establishment of Rongrong New Materials in Baise, it will leverage Baise, a bridgehead open to ASEAN, to further promote "free trade zone manufacturing" to the global market.
