The two sides held a production-talent cooperation promotion meeting at the Xinze Copper Industry R&D Center and signed multiple cooperation agreements on site. Lu He, Member of the Standing Committee of the Shan County Party Committee and Director of the Organization Department, attended the event and witnessed the signing. The event was hosted by Zhao Yong, Party Secretary of the County Science and Technology Bureau.
On the morning of the same day, the expert team from Central South University conducted on-site inspections of Xinze Copper Industry's copper processing workshop, refining workshop, electrolysis workshop, and R&D center, gaining detailed insights into production processes and technical equipment. They also engaged in on-site discussions with the company on key technical issues such as the development of high-performance copper alloy materials and process optimization.
Three cooperation outcomes were achieved at the promotion meeting. First, the two parties signed a joint technical research agreement for the "High-Performance Copper Alloy Project" and a "Use First, Pay Later" agreement for scientific and technological achievements. Wang Lianfu, Deputy General Manager of Yuantong Group, and Lei Qian, Deputy Director of the Institute of Powder Metallurgy Structural Materials at Central South University, signed on behalf of both sides. Second, Dean Li Zhou presented Wang Lianfu with a letter of appointment as a part-time supervisor for master's degree professional graduate students under the Central South University-Yuantong Group program. Finally, Yang Deyou, Chairman of Yuantong Group, and Zhang Nan, Director of the Technology Transfer Department of the Intellectual Property Center at Central South University, jointly unveiled the "Central South University-Xinze Copper Industry Demonstration Site for Scientific and Technological Achievement Transfer."
In his speech, Lu He, Member of the Standing Committee of the Shan County Party Committee and Director of the Organization Department, stated that this cooperation is a typical case of precise alignment between university intellectual resources and local industrial needs, providing technological support for the transformation and upgrading of the county's new materials industry. Dean Li Zhou introduced the research strengths of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Central South University, noting that the school hosts platforms such as the State Key Laboratory of Powder Metallurgy, and that materials science and engineering is a national first-level key discipline and a national "Double First-Class" construction discipline. Zhou Xiaomin, Deputy General Manager of Yuantong Group, stated that the group and Xinze Copper Industry will leverage the demonstration site platform to deepen cooperation with Central South University in areas such as joint talent training, key technology research, and achievement transfer.
Founded in 2014, Shandong Yuantong Industrial Development Group operates in sectors including non-ferrous metals, biomass power generation, coal processing, and engineering construction. Its subsidiary, Xinze Copper Industry, has been actively promoting industrial transformation and upgrading in recent years. This cooperation focuses on the field of high-performance copper alloy materials and will involve joint research on key technologies for high-end copper products.
