A few days ago, the Yinzhou District Government shut down all 12 foundry companies that failed to meet the requirements for industrial transformation. At this point, of the 159 foundry companies in the region, 104 were closed down completely, and 55 companies were improved.
It accounted for 2.2% of the total industrial scale in Yinzhou District, but its energy consumption accounted for nearly one-third of the entire area's foundry industry. It completely “rebirthed†and provided people with “green†water.
There are 159 foundry companies in Yinzhou District, which are known as the “hometown of casting†in China. They are mainly concentrated in the towns of Yunlong and Hengxi. After more than 20 years of development, they have gradually formed a large industry advantage. However, at the same time when it won great wealth, the foundry industry also gave Ganzhou a heavy environmental burden. “The chimneys are standing in the daytime and the dark mist is lingering in the evening†was a true portrayal of Yunlong and Hengxi towns.
“For the foundry industry to continue its development, it must go through the environmental protection process.†Yong Yongnian, member of the Standing Committee of the Ningbo Municipal Committee and the Quzhou District Party Committee, said that he must make a determined effort to sacrifice more than 2 billion industrial output value and 120 million yuan of tax revenue. We need to leave a green mountain for future generations.
In June 2008, Zhangzhou began to “innovate†the foundry industry and formulated the “Implementation Plan for Industry Promotion of the Foundry Industry in Yinzhou Districtâ€, and used the policy to force the mechanism to invest 100 million yuan to guide foundry companies to answer “AB†volume or upgrade. Or shut down the conversion. Specifically, it is to shut down enterprises that are heavily polluting, consume large amounts of energy, have low efficiency, and have weak market competitiveness, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of some companies that have basic and powerful capabilities.
“The improvement in governance is more difficult than the closure of the conversion.†Yang Qilun, director of the Bureau of Economic Development of Zhangzhou District, introduced that in recent years, Ganzhou has invested 55 million yuan in the region’s 29 annual output value of over 30 million yuan according to its own actual conditions and in different technological processes. The casting company has improved governance.
At the same time as large enterprises upgrade and transform, more SMEs independently chose to switch production. In May last year, Ningbo Zhanfa Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. invested nearly 16 million yuan, from casting to magnetic materials. "I did not expect that withdrawing from the foundry industry would provide unprecedented opportunities for enterprises to move from traditional manufacturing industries to high-tech emerging industries." The company's general manager Yan Jianfang said that after the transfer, not only will the company's annual output value be doubled, but pollution will be greatly reduced. Do not worry about complaints from surrounding people because of environmental pollution.
Statistics show that 40% of the casting companies that have been shut down in this area have been successfully converted. "The foundry industry has changed its roots in return for the 'blue sky and white clouds'." Yang Qilun said that the air quality of the Yunlong and Hengxi towns improved from 76.8% three years ago to 90.8%, close to the level of downtown Zhuozhou, and the annual reduction The coal consumption reached 50,000 tons. Not only that, after the closure of 104 companies, about 500 acres of land can be vacated for the development of new regions or other industries. It is estimated that Yinzhou District will invest nearly RMB 100 million in the future to cultivate and improve the casting enterprises after transformation and upgrading.
