Chi Jingdong, vice president of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, said recently that China's iron and steel industry has entered a new stage of high quality development. The iron and steel industry from geological exploration, mineral processing to iron making, steelmaking, steel rolling and deep processing, the whole industry chain level has reached the world's first-class, and the next is to rely on technology, quality, service and other innovations to achieve development.

Chi Jingdong made the above views at the summit forum of "high quality development and iron and steel power".

Chi Jingdong said that after more than two years of capacity, China's iron and steel capacity utilization basically restored to a reasonable level, and the industry management situation has improved significantly. In 2017, the average sales profit rate of the member enterprises of Sinosteel statistics returned to 4.7%.

At the same time, the structure of iron and steel industry has been constantly optimized, and great progress has been made in energy conservation and environmental protection. In particular, it has formed the largest iron and steel industry and R & D team in the world. Material basis plus technology and talent protection will lay a foundation for accelerating the development of high quality in the steel industry.

According to Huang Yixin, chairman of Nanjing iron and Steel Group, in recent years, the company has launched a differential e-commerce platform and intelligent manufacturing system solutions service providers, and also implements a new model of mass customization and distribution, which has accelerated the transformation created by the production and manufacturing of Xiang Zhihui.

In 2017, Nangang achieved a profit of 4 billion 500 million yuan, the highest level in history. In 2018, 1 to April, it achieved another success, with a turnover of 35 billion 600 million yuan and a profit of 2 billion yuan.

However, many people in the industry said that the current high quality development of iron and steel is also facing four challenges, such as the expansion of new production capacity, the severe prevention of the revival of "ground steel", the urgent need to straighten out the short process steelmaking and the strictness of the environmental protection.

Xu Wenli, director of the Department of raw materials industry, Department of the Ministry of industry and information, said that with the improvement of industry benefits, new problems appeared, and some local and enterprises had the impulse to add capacity.

According to the National Bureau of statistics, the average daily output of crude steel reached a record high in April.

"From the end of May to the end of June, the Ministry of development and reform and the Ministry of industry and information will organize and carry out the special inspection work to prevent the reproduction of excess capacity and the" ground bar steel ". The purpose is to eliminate the dangerous ideas of the project and capacity expansion in order to consolidate the hard won production of the production capacity. Xu Wenli said.
