Hechi Daren Industrial Park defines development in H1

In the first half of 2021, the Hechi Daren Industrial Park achieved 3.9 billion yuan ($601 million) of main operating income, a year-on-year increase of 338 percent, which is proof of prosperous development.

Expansion of production is one of the key tasks for Chaowei Xinfeng Energy Company this year. The company's new battery workshop has an annual output of 10 million kilovolt-ampere-hours and has been fully constructed. The workshop is expected to achieve mass production in mid-August, creating more than 500 jobs.

Construction of the Guangxi Yusheng Germanium High-tech Company has also sped up. The first phase of the company's zinc-polymetal recovery project completed its basic construction in just 14 months. The project has received a total investment of 950 million yuan, and it is expected to start trial production in mid-August this year.

Eleven standard workshops in the first phase of the Hechi pharmaceutical fine chemical industrial park have been successfully capped, and six pharmaceutical companies have settled in. The total investment of the first phase is 463 million yuan, of which 127 million yuan has been invested this year.

According to Ya Hengyi, deputy director of the Hechi industrial park management committee, the committee has organized a special team this year to solve practical difficulties, guide enterprises to optimize the construction process, and ensure the punctuality of construction projects.

Financing is a common problem faced by enterprises. Thus, the committee has helped enterprises to apply for a discount loan. For example, Chaowei Xinfeng Company and five related companies have received 177 million yuan of credit loans from financial institutions, and 147 million yuan of the funds have been put in place.

Since the beginning of this year, Hechi has centered focus on the three leading industries of new metals materials, fine chemicals, and new energy, and has organized teams in Shandong province, Henan province, and Shanghai to connect with pharmaceutical projects to learn the construction model for advanced pharmaceutical and chemical parks.

Daren Industrial Park has planned 22 packaging projects in the first half of this year, and nine projects have been introduced with 1.12 billion yuan in place.
