In order to expedite the upstream and downstream links of basic manufacturing processes and help China's manufacturing industry accelerate its progress towards high-quality development, the China Foundry Association, in conjunction with the China Forging and Pressing Association, the China Heat Treatment Industry Association, the China Surface Engineering Association, and the China Welding Association, held the "21st China International Foundry Expo Press Conference and High Quality Development Salon Signing Ceremony for Basic Manufacturing Processes" in Beijing on March 15.
"1+1>2" Casting Expo Blooms in Tianjin, Full of Expectations
In the government work report of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in 2023, the country proposed new requirements for high-quality development and continuously released policy dividends to continuously promote industry transformation and upgrading. Foundry is the foundation of the mechanical manufacturing industry, and the upgrading and upgrading of the industry is related to the high-quality development of many industries, especially the mechanical equipment manufacturing industry. In the face of the market that urgently needs to be released and boosted after the epidemic, the China Foundry Association strives to accelerate industry integration and strengthen the foundation and chain. As a vane of industry development, the significance of exhibitions is even more significant.
After multiple studies and extensive consultations with industry organizations and enterprises, the China Foundry Association has decided that the 21st China International Foundry Expo will be held at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) on May 8-11, 2023.
"After four years, returning to the north and choosing Tianjin as the site, we have benefited from the regional advantages of Tianjin's location in the northern industrial center, the support of the modern exhibition system in the exhibition capital of Tianjin, the recognition of the brand of 'Cast Expo' by industry colleagues, and the platform demands of supply and demand liaison among enterprises." Zhang Libo, President of China Foundry Association, introduced that at present, The preparatory work for the Tianjin series of exhibition events is progressing in an orderly manner. At that time, there will be 7 theme pavilions, nearly 100000 square meters of exhibition area, and over 100 industry activities. More than 1100 exhibitors from over 60 countries and regions, 100000 offline professional visitors, and over 1 million online visitors will gather to participate in the grand event. How will the emerging needs to be filled, the long-standing commercial cooperation, and the focused launch of new products, new technologies, and new solutions be interpreted? It's worth looking forward to.
Since its establishment in 1987, the China International Foundry Expo, which has had a successful exhibition history of 36 consecutive years, has returned to the north to choose Tianjin after four years? "This is a decision that should better meet the urgent needs of foundry enterprises in northern cities. Faced with industry enterprises that urgently need to repair and smooth the supply and demand of upstream and downstream industrial chains, there is a greater need for an international large-scale exhibition platform that can pool resources from both domestic and foreign parties to communicate and connect, in order to lead and drive the pace and pace of green, intelligent, transformation and upgrading of the industry." Gao Wei, Executive Vice President of China Foundry Association, told China Industry News, Benefiting from the strong manufacturing foundation of Tianjin and surrounding cities, as well as the mutual fit of Tianjin's first-class exhibition halls, the radiation role of the exhibition in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the bridge role linking China's north and south will also be further released. The 2023 Cast Expo will be located in Tianjin, where the "Modern High Quality Exhibition Hall" will serve as the "International Brand Exhibition", giving full play to the advantages and effects of "1+1>2".
Release the surging kinetic energy and upgrade the basic manufacturing process through cooperation with five associations
As an important basic process in the mechanical industry, casting, forging, heat treatment, surface treatment, and welding have played and continue to play a crucial role in the rapid development of the equipment manufacturing industry. In order to better promote the sharing of exhibition and industry information resources among professional associations in the mechanical industry, Wang Dongsheng, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of China Foundry Association, Qi Junhe, Supervisor of China Forging and Pressing Association, Lv Dongxian, Secretary General of China Heat Treatment Industry Association, Wang Xinguo, Secretary General of China Surface Engineering Association, and Wang Lujun, Vice President of China Welding Association, signed a strategic cooperation agreement as representatives of the five party association. Strengthen the industrial foundation, improve the technological level, smooth the industrial chain, and strengthen the development toughness. The "high-quality development salon for basic manufacturing processes" - this aircraft carrier of basic industry is about to break the waves and set sail.
"The high-quality development salon for basic manufacturing processes has experienced nearly two years from the initial planning and preparation to the formal contracting. Casting, forging, heat treatment, surface treatment, and welding can be regarded as the most basic process categories in the mechanical industry, which plays an extremely important role in supporting the development of the manufacturing industry. To do a good job in basic processes is the common aspiration of our industry practitioners." Zhang Jin, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of China Forging and Pressing Association, pointed out, The five party associations, which are both traditional basic industries, have jointly established an organization to learn from each other's experiences, promote industry progress, and promote the development of enterprises and the national economy; Promote the research focus and hot issues of all parties, and enhance the social influence of basic industries; Further promote the high-quality development of the basic manufacturing industry, especially the equipment manufacturing industry.
The five-party contracting party of the high-quality development salon for basic manufacturing processes is an important node for the five parties to deepen cooperation, connect the past with the future, and jointly promote development. Jointly advancing and broadening the breadth and depth of the industry will provide stronger support and guarantee for the high-quality development of the upstream and downstream industries and the five party associations. The 2024 Basic Manufacturing Process High Quality Development Salon Five Party Exhibition (Shanghai) is the fruit of a more authoritative and professional exhibition platform for the entire industrial chain in the machinery industry that the five parties sincerely cooperate and jointly face the future, in order to better utilize their respective advantages and achieve complementary advantages.
In his speech, Lv Dongxian outlined the grand blueprint for the 2024 Five Party Joint Exhibition: On July 4-7, 2024, at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai), eight themed exhibition halls, with an exhibition area of 230000 square meters, and including the basic manufacturing process industry chain, will definitely become the backbone of promoting the vigorous development of the mechanical industry and even China's manufacturing industry.
Wang Lujun expressed that in the future, the high-quality development salon for basic manufacturing processes will take the opportunity of cooperative exhibition hosting to continuously improve the quality, effectiveness, and internationalization level of the exhibition platform; From the perspective of improving quality and efficiency in the manufacturing industry, solve common problems in the industry through the salon platform, make unified voices and progress together, and provide basic guarantee for the production of high-end products; Promote innovative development in various fields through the strong alliance of the five parties, sharing experience, and sharing resources.
