On the afternoon of May 19, Lu Jiangguang, Party Secretary and Chairman of Wugang Company under HBIS Group, led a delegation to visit a key domestic customer in the heavy machinery manufacturing sector. The two sides held an in-depth discussion on topics including supply-chain collaboration, product‑related supply, technological innovation and R&D, and the development of new market segments. Long Jie, Deputy General Manager of Wugang Company, accompanied the visit, while relevant heads from the Marketing Management Department, the Production and Manufacturing Department, the Sales Department, and the Science and Technology Department also attended the meeting.
Senior leadership at the client warmly welcomed the visit of Lu Jiangguang and his delegation, commending Wugang Company’s product quality, brand strength, and professional services. He noted that the two parties have maintained a deeply integrated partnership for nearly four decades, with Wugang’s high‑quality specialty steel plates extensively employed in the manufacture of our core equipment, successfully supporting the successful implementation of major projects. Furthermore, the jointly established laboratory has laid a solid foundation for technological innovation. Looking ahead, he expressed anticipation that both sides will continue to deepen all‑round collaboration across the industrial chain, technology, and markets, thereby achieving mutual benefit and win‑win outcomes.

Lu Jiangguang expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the customer for its longstanding trust and support of Wugang Company. He noted that this customer is a core strategic partner, with the two sides having forged a strong, collaborative relationship over many years, jointly tackling technical challenges and building deep bonds of cooperation, thereby contributing to the high‑quality development of China’s major equipment‑manufacturing sector. He stated that Wugang has consistently upheld the principle of “zero defects in quality,” continuously strengthening structural adjustments on both fronts, and vigorously advancing the upgrading and modernization of production lines as well as process optimization. At present, the company’s 460‑mm thick‑plate continuous caster has achieved operational stability, its range of steel plate specifications continues to expand, and with the commissioning of the thick‑plate quenching line, both heat‑treatment capacity and on‑time delivery capabilities are set to see substantial improvements. Looking ahead, Wugang will continue to increase investment, drive equipment upgrades, enhance efficiency and product quality, and reinforce its core competitiveness in the special‑steel segment. By leveraging technology, quality, and service across the board, the company will optimize the supply of high‑end steel products and provide end‑to‑end assurance throughout the entire lifecycle, fully supporting customers’ industrial upgrades and project development. Together, Wugang and its partners will deepen collaboration along the value chain, jointly promoting high‑quality growth for both sides.
This visit and exchange has further strengthened the foundation of strategic cooperation between the two parties and established smooth, regular channels for communication and coordination. Moving forward, both sides will continue to deepen collaboration across the upstream and downstream value chains, pioneer innovative cooperation models, and expand into cutting-edge areas such as wind power. By co‑creating technologies, jointly developing products, and sharing market opportunities, they will drive high‑quality growth and work together to set a benchmark for synergistic development in the equipment manufacturing and specialty steel industries.
