Sales revenue in the first 10 months increased by 74.32% year-on-year, and the output of main products, industrial naphthalene, asphalt and carbon black, increased significantly year-on-year.
Report from our correspondent (Reporter Ren Yongliang Correspondent Lu Jifeng) nowadays, in the Shanxi Hongte Coal Chemical Industry Co., LTD., which is located in the economic development zone of Jiaocheng County, this situation makes people sigh: at the south gate of the company, it is as long as two or three Li of the fleet of oil tanks waiting for the sale of coal tar; In front of the company’s north gate, there is a long queue of containers waiting to buy needle coke. In the current world economy “cold current” situation, the company in the first 10 months, sales revenue increased by 74.32% year on year, the main products of industrial naphthalene, asphalt, carbon black output has grown substantially year on year, among which the output of the core product needle coke has reached 24,647 tons, a year-on-year growth of 160%. The hot production and sales scene of Acer is like a fire in winter, surprising and exciting.
Hongte Group was settled in Jiaocheng in 2001. In just a few years, the company has rapidly grown bigger and stronger. The secret of success is the implementation of scientific and technological innovation strategy and talent strategy. In terms of talent investment, the company has 1081 employees, of which nearly 90% are college or technical secondary school graduates. There are 32 coal chemical experts, 2 of whom enjoy the special allowance of the State Council. A large number of top talents in the domestic industry such as the first generation of needle coke experts are gathered here. The huge talent treasure house has become the source of wisdom for Hongte to bring forth the new and constantly develop new products.
Scientific and technological innovation is the eternal pursuit of Hongte. Hongte keeps a long-term cooperative relationship with domestic well-known design institutes, research institutes and colleges, and the high-tech achievements of these places are rapidly transformed into high-tech products in Hongte. The company cooperated with Nanjing University to develop and build the first set of large-scale continuous refined anthracene and carbazole devices in China. Cooperated with Zhejiang University to build DCS automatic centralized control system, information scheduling system; Cooperated with Shanghai Petrochemical Design and Research Institute to develop and build the world’s first set of impregnating agent asphalt equipment; In cooperation with Shanxi Coal Chemical Industry Institute, we have developed carbon fiber production unit and asphalt active carbon resistance unit. The introduction of “wisdom”, let Hongte from a “wisdom” height to another “wisdom” height, integrated in a family.
First–grade needle coke in the development of the success of Hongte, has been Japan’s dominant, alone. Moreover, these technologies have always been the bottleneck problem of coal bitumen in the development of coal chemical industry in China, which is a technical mountain on the road of deep processing of coal chemical industry. To this end, Hongte invested 300 million yuan, with the courage to cross the bridge, after numerous failures, after 3 years, finally boarded the peak of science and technology, filled the gap in the domestic coal chemical industry at one stroke, ended the history of China’s carbon industry to produce ultra-high power graphite electrode raw materials relying on imports for a long time.
The successful research and development of needle coke is just a solid and clear footprint in Hongte’s journey to the peak of science and technology. On this road, Hongte is persistent and steady. The company has independently developed the first set of 500,000 tons/year continuous washing and decomposition device, 100,000 tons/year continuous pressure modified asphalt production device and 60,000 tons/year new process carbon black production device for tar primary processing in China. In the deep development of asphalt, anthracene oil, naphthalene three series products, it has respectively realized four times, three times and two times of deep processing, walking in the forefront of the domestic.
Short Commentary
The key to the icebreaker is innovation
When the cold current of the world financial crisis has had a certain impact on the leading industries in our province, especially steel, coal and other industries have been affected by different degrees, some enterprises are feeling the “winter” cold, the reporter in Shanxi Hongte Coal Chemical Industry Co., LTD. interview has seen such a fact: Because enterprises persist in independent innovation and master core technologies, they are calmly coping with the challenges of external economic environment changes. It can be said that Hongte Group is like a fire in winter, showing a strong ability to resist risks.
Shanxi Hongte Coal Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is a large modern coal chemical private enterprise, integrating production, scientific research and sales. It was invested in 2001. In just 7 years, the company has developed more than 20 kinds of fine chemical products and important chemical raw materials such as light oil, crude phenol, mixed anthracene oil and pitch from coal tar. The needle coke developed by the company is the only important chemical products to replace imports in China at present. Wu Liansheng, chairman of the board, said that the price of tar is 2500 yuan per ton, and the appreciation after transformation can reach 8000 yuan! From 2500 yuan to 8000 yuan, this is the charm of scientific and technological innovation!
Scientific and technological innovation is the magic weapon for enterprises to deal with all crises, which is the beneficial enlightenment that Hongte Group brings to us. (END)
