12 Moon 9 On the morning of the day, Lu Jianguang, General Manager of Wugang Company of HBIS Group, led a delegation to visit a leading heavy equipment manufacturer in the industry. The two sides engaged in an in-depth discussion and exchange on topics including deepening industrial chain collaboration, expanding areas of cooperation, and supporting major national strategies, thereby laying a solid foundation for future high-quality cooperation.

Deputy General Manager Long Jie accompanied the visit, and relevant heads from the Sales Department, the Technology Department, the Marketing Management Department, and the Production Planning Department participated in the visit.

 

 

During the symposium, Lu Jianguang provided a detailed introduction to Wugang Company’s core strengths and development achievements in the high-end steel sector. He stated that Wugang has consistently kept pace with the manufacturing needs of “major national strategic equipment,” continuously increasing its R&D investment in specialized materials such as low-temperature vessel steel, high-strength structural steel, and steel for pressure vessels. As a result, Wugang has established a comprehensive, end-to-end capability—from material design and production manufacturing to customized services. Specifically addressing the joint cooperation projects, Wugang has set up a dedicated technical service team that adopts a “one-stop” service model: engaging early in project design, closely monitoring production progress during the mid-phase, and ensuring timely delivery in the later stage. This approach guarantees that every batch of steel precisely meets the stringent standards required for customers’ equipment manufacturing. Looking ahead, Wugang will further integrate its technological and production resources, focusing on the new demands of its partners in the field of ultra-large-scale equipment manufacturing. By accelerating the R&D of new materials and optimizing manufacturing processes, Wugang aims to help its partners achieve continuous breakthroughs in high-end equipment sectors such as nuclear power and wind power.

 

 

The senior leadership of the client warmly welcomed Lu Jianguang and his delegation, and highlighted their practical experiences and plans in the process of domesticating critical national technological equipment. He pointed out that, over the years, Wugang Company has consistently been our most trusted partner—especially in projects along the Belt and Road Initiative as well as in numerous large-scale rolling mill renovation projects across China. The steel plates provided by Wugang not only excel in safety and reliability but also demonstrate outstanding advantages in adapting to the manufacturing processes for ultra-long and ultra-heavy equipment, effectively ensuring the smooth delivery of several key projects. Currently, we are actively entering new fields such as clean energy equipment and high-end petrochemical equipment, placing even higher and more stringent demands on material properties—including corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance. We look forward to further deepening our technical collaboration with Wugang, jointly conducting joint research and development on new materials and new processes, and driving collaborative innovation throughout the upstream and downstream segments of the industrial chain.

This visit has injected new momentum into deepening cooperation between the two sides. In future collaborations, Wugang Company will join hands with its customers, guided by the nation’s drive to transform and upgrade manufacturing and the “dual-carbon” goals, to continuously expand the scope of cooperation in fields such as wind power, nuclear power, and hydrogen energy. By leveraging material innovation to empower equipment upgrades and fostering industrial chain synergy to enhance core competitiveness, we will jointly contribute to building a manufacturing powerhouse.

 

Wugang Company’s project, “Development and Application of Key Technologies for High-Strength, Tough, Extra-Thick Steel Plates for Marine Equipment,” has been awarded the Special Prize of the 2026 Metallurgical Science and Technology Award.

Recently, the results of the 2026 Metallurgical Science and Technology Awards were announced. The project “Development and Application of Key Technologies for High-Strength, Tough, Extra-Thick Steel Plates for Marine Equipment,” jointly submitted by Wugang Company and Northeastern University, was awarded the Grand Prize, marking a major breakthrough for China in the field of critical materials for marine engineering. After ten years of intensive research and sustained efforts, the project has successfully overcome the challenges in producing high-strength, tough, extra-thick steel plates—materials essential for building such national strategic assets as ultra-large deepwater drilling platforms, massive wind‑farm installation vessels, and 10,000‑meter‑class submersibles.
