Recently, sponsored by Henan Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and Sanmenxia municipal government, and undertaken by Sanmenxia Bureau of industry and information technology and Lingbao municipal government, the summit forum of Henan copper industry entrepreneurs and the founding meeting of copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Association were held in Lingbao City, Henan Province with the theme of "new infrastructure, new situation and new opportunities".

    Zhang Jilin, vice president and Secretary General of China nonferrous metal processing industry association, Liu Libin, executive vice president of Henan Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Wan Zhanwei, vice mayor of Sanmenxia City, attended and addressed the meeting. Zhang Chuanhe, chief engineer of Henan nonferrous metal industry association, presided over the meeting.

    In his speech, Wan Zhanwei introduced the development status of copper industry in Sanmenxia City. He pointed out that "new infrastructure" represented by 5g, new energy vehicle charging pile and intercity high-speed railway is booming, which provides new power, increases new demand and provides new space for copper-based material research and development. Around the emerging industries and key fields, Sanmenxia city develops high-grade copper foil, high-precision electronic copper strip, special copper material, special copper cable and downstream high-tech products. The main goal is to strive to achieve 300000 tons of copper processing capacity by the end of 2022, the total output value of copper industry will reach more than 40 billion yuan, and the production capacity of copper foil will reach 83000 tons, which will be known as the "China copper foil Valley" brand and build an influential copper industry base in the whole province and in the whole country.

    In his speech, Zhang Jilin congratulated the opening of the forum and conference, and placed high hopes on the establishment of copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Association. He analyzed and expounded the current situation and existing problems of copper processing industry in China, and put forward suggestions for the future development of copper industry in Henan Province.

    Zhang Jilin pointed out that the development achievements of China's copper processing industry are obvious to all. First, the momentum of development has remained unchanged. In 2019, China's copper processing timber output was 18.16 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 1.96%, which was the world's largest for 16 consecutive years. Despite the impact of novel coronavirus pneumonia, copper output in the first half of this year has been growing at a positive rate of about 9000000 tons. Second, the overall equipment level of the industry has entered the international advanced ranks. The copper tube continuous casting and rolling production line with independent intellectual property rights has gone from "equipment China" to "equipment world". Third, the international competitiveness of products has been continuously enhanced. Some products, such as air-conditioning copper tubes, have been in the forefront of the world, and the localization process of some copper products that have been relying on imports for a long time has been gradually accelerated.

    For the development of Henan copper industry, Zhang Jilin gives some suggestions: first, we should adjust the development ideas, combine with our own advantages, and develop in the direction of "refined, specialized, special and new", and constantly do better and stronger. Second, we should earnestly strengthen independent innovation. Third, enterprises should strengthen horizontal communication and communication,  and strive to build a rational and orderly competition pattern.

    In his speech, Liu Libin summarized the achievements made by Henan Nonferrous Metals Industry Association for the scientific development and sustainable development of Henan nonferrous metals industry since its establishment for 22 years. He also introduced the development situation of Henan copper industry and elaborated the background of establishing copper industry branch of Henan nonferrous metal industry association.

    He pointed out that Henan is a big copper industry province in China. After decades of development, copper industry has begun to take shape. He said that the copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Industry Association will carry out a series of targeted work in the future, so as to play an active and effective role in the structural reform of the industry supply side and the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and create a new situation in the work of the association.

    The meeting deliberated and approved the preparatory plan for copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Association, decided to establish "copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Industry Association", discussed and approved the method for selecting the person in charge of copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Association, and elected the first president, vice president and Secretary general of the copper industry branch of Henan Nonferrous Metals Association The vice president's unit issues the plaque.

    Liao Zhongyi, the newly elected chairman of Henan nonferrous copper industry branch and general manager of Henan Zhongyuan Gold Smelter Co., Ltd., said in his statement that he would work hard with all colleagues to promote Henan copper industry to a new level.

    From Jiyuan City, Xinxiang Weibin District, Sanmenxia City urban and rural integration demonstration area and other regional leaders, Lingbao City leaders and some municipal units, the main responsible person of key copper production enterprises in Henan Province, well-known experts and professors from Central South University, Henan University of science and technology, Zhengzhou University, Zhongse technology and other units, futures trade, engineering equipment, energy conservation and environmental protection More than 200 representatives from affiliated enterprises such as auxiliary materials production attended the meeting.
