Recently, the Department of Science and Technology of Henan Province, China, announced the list of Henan Province Technological Innovation Centers to be constructed in 2025. The Henan High-End Equipment for Nonferrous Metals Processing Technological Innovation Center, applied for by China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology"), was successfully selected, making it the only enterprise in Luoyang City approved to construct this provincial-level innovation platform in this batch. This achievement not only demonstrates China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology's solid technical strength and leading position in the high-end equipment field for nonferrous metals processing, but also serves as a vivid practice of implementing the Aluminum Corporation of China Limited's (Chalco) strategy for scientific and technological innovation, contributing to the high-quality development of the nonferrous metals industry, and cultivating new quality productive forces.
It is reported that the Henan Province Technological Innovation Center, as a provincial-level scientific and technological innovation platform for technological innovation and achievement transformation, is an important component of Henan Province's technological innovation system construction. This platform is positioned in the middle of the innovation chain, precisely connecting basic research in laboratories with industrial application in enterprises. It focuses on the key transformation stage from science to technology, striving to solve the "last mile" problem in the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, helping to overcome industry "bottleneck" technical challenges, and injecting strong innovation momentum into the high-quality development of key industries in Henan Province.
As the only comprehensive enterprise in China that integrates planning, engineering design, equipment development, scientific research and development, achievement industrialization, and engineering procurement construction (EPC) for the nonferrous metals processing industry, China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology has been deeply engaged in the nonferrous metals processing field for over sixty years. It has consistently adhered to innovation-driven development, and through continuous innovation investment and technological breakthroughs, has accumulated profound industry experience and significant technological advantages. The approval to construct this provincial-level technological innovation center is a high recognition of the company's innovation capabilities.
China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology will take the construction of this provincial-level technological innovation center as an opportunity to fully leverage its comprehensive strength in the research and development, manufacturing, and industrial application of nonferrous metals processing equipment. It will collaborate with universities, research institutes, and other innovation resources to build an innovation system deeply integrated with industry, academia, research, and application. The focus will be on core directions such as the localization and independent control of high-end equipment for nonferrous metals processing, green and low-carbon technology development, smart factory construction, and intrinsic safety improvement. Efforts will be concentrated on overcoming a batch of key core technologies restricting the high-quality development of the industry and filling gaps in the sector.
In the next step, China Nonferrous Metals Processing Technology will strictly implement Chalco's strategic deployment of "Four Strengths," using the construction of the provincial-level technological innovation center as a lever. It will continue to improve innovation mechanisms, strengthen talent echelon cultivation, accelerate the pace of technological R&D and achievement transformation, continuously enhance core competitiveness, further promote the intelligent, green, and high-end transformation and upgrading of the nonferrous metals processing industry chain, and contribute greater strength to Chalco's efforts to accelerate the building of a world-class mining and nonferrous metals group and to help China's nonferrous metals industry extend, supplement, and strengthen its industrial chain.
