——On February 25, 2012, the "National Foundry Pig Iron Association Establishment Conference and Foundry Pig Iron Enterprise Transformation and Upgrade Seminar" was grandly held in the Zhonghua Hall of Beijing JAL Hotel. Nearly 200 conference representatives and guests attended the meeting, including leaders from the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, leaders from the China Foundry Association and relevant departments, executives of casting pig iron production enterprises from all over the country, leaders from the China Machinery Productivity Promotion Center and the China Metallurgical Equipment Research and Design Institute. The conference officially began at 9:08. Zhi Xiaoheng, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the China Foundry Association, presided over the opening ceremony of the conference. After introducing the main guests attending the conference, he loudly announced the official start of the conference, symbolizing the spring of the national pig iron industry. The audience burst into prolonged and enthusiastic applause.

The agenda of the morning conference is mainly to complete various tasks related to the establishment of the Foundry Pig Iron Association. Shao Ying, Vice Chairman of the China Foundry Association, first read out the "Approval Document on Establishing the Pig Iron Branch of the China Foundry Association"; Subsequently, through a show of hands vote by representatives, the "Regulations on the Work of the Foundry Pig Iron Branch of the China Foundry Association", the "Self discipline Convention of the Foundry Pig Iron Industry", and the "Composition Plan of the Foundry Pig Iron Branch Council of the China Foundry Association" were successively reviewed and passed, and the "Foundry Pig Iron Branch Council of the China Foundry Association" was elected. At the upcoming "China Foundry Association Casting Pig Iron Branch Council", a leadership team consisting of 13 members including Zhang Guolin, Chairman of Jinan Gengchen Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (the first chairman of the branch), was elected (details to be reported separately).

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Chairman Zhang Guolin of the Foundry Pig Iron Branch of the China Foundry Association delivered an enthusiastic performance speech. Chairman Zhang highly praises and sincerely thanks the leaders of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the China Casting Association, as well as relevant business departments, for their "re manufacturing kindness" to the casting pig iron enterprise after more than five years of arduous and meticulous research, screening, and screening based on the original intention of win-win situation for the country, industry, and enterprises; He sincerely stated that he will not disappoint the trust of the industry, fulfill his mission, and lead the entire industry to accelerate enterprise transformation and upgrading, in order to actively benchmark environmental protection requirements and produce high-quality cast iron to meet the needs of the casting industry in practical actions to repay the country and society.

At the opening ceremony of the conference, Director Liang Fang of the Industry Association Department of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was invited to give a speech. In his speech from a strategic perspective, Director Liang pointed out from a theoretical perspective that according to the market economy principle of "economic democracy and autonomous management" and the internationally accepted rules of trade associations, in the historical transformation process of our government from power type to service type, some powers originally exercised by the government will be delegated to trade associations, and various trade associations will, according to their own attributes, It is imperative to play the role of the "leader" of the industry; Industry associations are bound to have great potential due to the "rigid demand" of the development of the situation: they not only serve as leaders and leaders in the industry, but also as controllers and implementers of many specific affairs, such as promoting the healthy operation of the market, participating in price coordination affairs, leading the allocation of industry resources, coordinating commodity production and product flow, and so on.

Director Zhang Dechen of the Raw Materials Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China continued his speech. Director Zhang comprehensively reviewed the entire background and process of identifying casting pig iron enterprises in his speech. He particularly emphasized that based on the current situation of China's casting pig iron enterprises, taking into account the reality of China's national conditions and the development needs of the casting industry, implementing the "dynamic management" of the list of casting pig iron enterprises is an unshakable established policy. He demanded that the 145 recognized casting pig iron enterprises should have self-awareness, never rest assured, and never have any idea of once and for all. They should make great efforts to achieve success in the technical transformation of production equipment, optimization of production processes, and improvement of enterprise management level, in order to produce high-quality casting pig iron, while achieving energy conservation and emission reduction to meet environmental requirements. He finally reminded everyone to pay special attention to safety production.

Jia Chengbing, the Chairman of the China Foundry Association, gave a "final" speech at the opening ceremony this morning. His speech was "called for from a high altitude, with a sound that is not just an aggravation, but a recognition of those who hear it". Chairman Jia elaborated on the evolving characteristics of the current economic, political, military, and social situation from international to domestic perspectives, especially the profound impact of the instability and uncertainty of the world economy on China's economic and social development. He pointed out that the current superpower's focus on the "re industrialization" of the real economy and the reality of industrialized countries controlling high-end markets all pose serious challenges to China's economic and social development. To turn challenges into opportunities, it is necessary to deeply understand the strategic significance of the rapid development of the "core of manufacturing industry" and the "foundation of the four modernizations" - the equipment manufacturing industry. The current situation of the casting industry, which is the foundation of the equipment manufacturing industry, being "large but not strong", is closely related to the reality of the "shortcomings" in basic processes, especially in the quality of basic materials, including cast iron. From this, it can be seen that the casting pig iron industry shoulders a historic responsibility to promote the revitalization of the casting industry and even the equipment manufacturing industry. Based on this reasoning, the Foundry Pig Iron Association, which emerged as the times require, has a long way to go. Chairman Jia earnestly instructed casting pig iron production enterprises to remember that there is a "tight curse" of "implementing dynamic identification management" on the recognized casting pig iron enterprises. Therefore, carefully examining the gaps within the enterprise itself and actively implementing the transformation, upgrading, and development of the enterprise is the wisest choice. In the afternoon, the conference entered the stage of the "Special Seminar on Transformation and Upgrading of Casting Pig Iron Enterprises", which was presided over by Rong Lihui, Deputy Secretary General of the China Foundry Association. Wen Ping, the full-time vice chairman of the China Foundry Association, first gave a report titled "Interpretation of High Quality Casting Pig Iron Standards and Key Points of Short Process Casting Technology"; Subsequently, Vice President Huang Chao of MCC Equipment Research and Design Institute delivered a report on "Improving the Technical Equipment Level of Casting Blast Furnace and Promoting the Sustainable Development of Casting Pig Iron Enterprises"; Zhi Xiaoheng, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the China Foundry Association, explained and emphasized the relevant regulations of the Foundry Pig Iron Branch.

At the end of the conference, Zhang Libo, Executive Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Foundry Association, elaborated on the practical significance and tasks faced by the establishment of the China Foundry Association's Foundry Pig Iron Branch with the basic topic of "Construction and Transformation and Upgrading of Foundry Pig Iron Bases". Secretary General Zhang empathized with the work of "identifying foundry pig iron enterprises" from beginning to end, so he passionately and titled "Recalling the Past" to explain how to "achieve positive results" - the context and complex and arduous work process of identifying 145 foundry pig iron enterprises, with the aim of hoping that everyone will cherish this hard-earned achievement. In order to preserve this difficult achievement, we must not let down our fighting spirit just because we have been recognized. Therefore, we must "put our swords and guns into storage and let them go"; But always keep in mind the reality of "dynamic management" that cannot be ignored, so it is necessary to actively take into account environmental protection, technological transformation, energy consumption, pig iron quality, and safety production, and vigorously implement transformation and upgrading development. He further pointed out that the construction and development of China's high-quality cast pig iron bases rely on the market and the awesome of industry associations. As an industry organization of casting pig iron enterprises, the Casting Pig Iron Branch must closely rely on its members to carry out various work beneficial to industry progress. It is clear that the association organization is a "fish" and members are a "fish water relationship" of "water", and the basic principle of "only those who have achievements have positions" should not be forgotten. It is the foundation of the association's establishment and development to correctly guide and wholeheartedly serve members. Due to the fact that most of the enterprises attending the meeting were originally affiliated with the metallurgical industry and had little knowledge of the casting industry, Secretary General Zhang introduced the development situation, work objectives, and some specific work currently led by the China Foundry Association, especially the "National Foundry Annual Conference" and "International Foundry Exhibition" held in Beijing in May 2012, as well as the "Foundry Museum" project vigorously promoted throughout the industry, I hope everyone can actively participate and integrate into the big family of China Casting Association as a new owner, and strive to make their due contributions. The attendees received a long and enthusiastic applause for Secretary General Zhang's thoughtful speech.

Sing the rooster, the world is white. The convening of the founding conference of the Pig Iron Branch of the China Foundry Association is like a rooster announcing the arrival of spring in the casting pig iron industry! People have reason to believe that the milestone significance of this event and the profound impact it brings will leave a dazzling mark in the history of China's foundry industry development.
