Shenzhen-based Amer International Group has agreed to establish its 25-billion-yuan ($3.6-billion) Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area headquarters in Jinwan District.

A strategic cooperation agreement concerning the headquarters complex was signed July 3 by Zhao Weiyuan, head of Jinwan District, and He Wei, president of Amer's Zhuhai project.

Plans call for a Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao International Financial Innovation Port, Amer Supply Chain & Industrial Service Center, and Zhuhai Hard Science & Technology Industry City relying on Amer's global resources.

Amer is engaged in the entire industrial chain of new-generation electronic information devices and new materials. "It is the world's leading new-metallic materials producer," states its website. In recent years Amer has made strategic and financial industrial investments and developed sci-tech "smart" industrial parks and trading platforms, including Zhuhai Haiwei Science & Technology Innovation Center.

In 2019, Amer ranked 119th among 2019 Fortune Global 500 companies and 29th among China's top 500 with a turnover of more than 600 billion yuan ($85 billion). Amer employs a staff of over 18,000. The group also has regional headquarters in East, North, Southwest, and Northwest China as well as international headquarters in Asia, Europe, and America.

Amer will increase the overall industrial competitiveness of Jinwan District, which is fostering multi-hundred-billion yuan industrial clusters for biomedicine and big health, new materials, new energy, and new-energy vehicles.

Zhuhai Party Secretary Guo Yonghang, Secretary-General of the CPC Zhuhai Municipal Committee Wu Shi, Vice Mayor Zhang Yisheng, and Wang Wenyin, chairman of Amer, attended the signing ceremony.
