en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 10, 2026, the Guixin Steel Indonesia project, located in the Tsingshan Industrial Park in Morowali County, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, officially held its production commencement ceremony. The project is a joint venture restructuring between China's Guangxi Guixin Steel Group and Tsingshan Holding Group's TSI Company, with a total investment exceeding 5 billion RMB. The project upgraded and transformed the original nickel-iron blast furnace into a 1,216 cubic meter plain carbon steel blast furnace, which achieved a daily output of over 5,000 tons of molten iron immediately upon commencement.
The project is equipped with a 210-square-meter sintering machine, two 12-square-meter shaft furnace pellet workshops, a 100-ton converter, and a full-process continuous casting and hot rolling production line, fully establishing an integrated "sintering-pelletizing-blast furnace-converter-continuous casting-hot rolling" whole industry chain, with an annual output of over 1.8 million tons of high-quality steel billets and steel products.
Tsingshan Holding Group, headquartered in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, is one of the world's largest stainless steel producers. Since entering Indonesia in 2009, Tsingshan has built a complete industrial chain covering nickel ore mining, nickel-iron smelting, stainless steel production, and carbon steel manufacturing in the country. The Tsingshan Industrial Park, located in Morowali County, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, is a key project for China-Indonesia production capacity cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
The 1,216 cubic meter blast furnace put into operation this time was upgraded and transformed on-site from the original 580 cubic meter nickel-iron blast furnace. During the construction process, it was necessary to complete the positioning of large lifting equipment, temporary material storage, and logistics channel planning within a limited space, while also meeting the needs of four major disciplines—civil engineering, installation, piping, and electrical—to operate in rotation or even simultaneously within the same space. This project is a key initiative for capacity upgrading at the Indonesia Tsingshan Steel Park under the national Belt and Road Initiative, bearing the important mission of enhancing regional steel supply capacity, improving the metallurgical industry chain, and promoting Indonesia's industrialization.
The commencement of this project marks the further release of plain carbon steel production capacity at Tsingshan's Indonesia base. According to industry information, Tsingshan is also advancing a 3.5 million ton plain carbon steel project in cooperation with Delong in Indonesia. Once fully completed, the Tsingshan Indonesia base will have a steelmaking capacity of 6.5 million tons, covering both stainless steel and carbon steel. The rapid ramp-up of this 1,216 cubic meter blast furnace will further enhance the comprehensive production capacity and market competitiveness of Indonesia Tsingshan Steel, providing strong support for the steel supply in the Southeast Asian region.
