en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 1, 2026, the Administrative Approval Bureau of Tangshan City, Hebei Province, China, officially approved the environmental impact report for the new cold-rolled galvanized line production base project of Hebei Houya New Building Materials Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 21.8 billion yuan. Located in the Qian'an Economic Development Zone of Hebei, the project plans to build one acid rolling mill line and two hot-dip galvanizing lines. Upon completion, it will produce 400,000 tons of hot-dip galvanized commercial coils, 400,000 tons of hot-dip galvanized aluminum-magnesium commercial coils, and 1.1836 million tons of acid-rolled commercial coils annually, with a total capacity of 1.9836 million tons. The environmental impact report for the project was publicly disclosed from May 22 to May 28, 2026, and received in-principle approval after review.
Hebei Houya New Building Materials Co., Ltd. was established on June 2, 2021, with legal representative Cai Hongwei, a registered capital of 150 million yuan, and its registered address located at the east of Jingshi 13th Road and north of Weishi 14th Street in the Qian'an Economic Development Zone, Hebei. The company's business scope covers steel rolling processing, electroplating processing, spray coating processing, metal surface treatment and heat treatment processing, as well as new material technology promotion services. Of the total project investment of 21.8 billion yuan, environmental protection investment amounts to 26 million yuan, and the project capital is 654 million yuan, accounting for 30% of the total investment.
Qian'an is an important steel production base in northern China. In 2025, the revenue of the local advanced steel manufacturing industry cluster exceeded 184.1 billion yuan, with high-quality steel accounting for 46%. The city has 24 steel deep-processing enterprises, with an annual crude steel capacity of approximately 30 million tons. Qian'an is promoting the transformation of the steel industry from raw material grade to material grade, with intelligent and green low-carbon transformation becoming the main development direction.
The project construction includes one acid rolling mill line and two hot-dip galvanizing lines, along with one acid regeneration unit, one semi-automatic packaging line, two 35-ton/hour natural gas boilers, and related auxiliary facilities, covering an area of approximately 109.926 mu. The product hot-dip galvanized aluminum-magnesium commercial coil (a type of alloy-coated steel plate with high corrosion resistance, with the coating containing zinc, aluminum, and magnesium elements, offering corrosion resistance several times that of traditional hot-dip galvanized sheets, widely used in photovoltaic brackets, automotive manufacturing, and building materials) is a high-value-added steel category with rapid market growth. The environmental impact assessment approval requires that project wastewater be treated by quality-based separation before being discharged to the Qian'an Economic Development Zone wastewater treatment plant, and exhaust emissions must meet the requirements of the "Ultra-low Emission Standards for Air Pollutants in the Iron and Steel Industry" (DB13/2169-2018).
The substantial progress in the environmental approval of this project marks an important step in Hebei Province's strategy to extend and supplement the steel industry chain in the Qian'an Economic Development Zone. After the project is put into operation, it will enhance the local supply capacity of cold-rolled and coated steel plates, and drive the coordinated development of related supporting industries such as mechanical processing and logistics.
