Xingtai City was selected as one of the top 100 cities in advanced manufacturing industry for the first time, and the number of state-level small and medium-sized enterprises with characteristic industrial clusters ranked first in the province, and it was awarded 30 million yuan for scientific and technological innovation at the county level......
In 2023, Xingtai City will unswervingly adhere to the industrial city, focus on reshaping the style of a strong manufacturing city, determine the development direction dominated by new materials, food processing, new energy, and digital economy, and continue to make new progress in promoting the optimization and upgrading of characteristic industrial clusters.
Over the past year, Xingtai City has highlighted the key points of development, activated the momentum of innovation, cultivated new quality productivity, and accelerated the construction of a modern industrial system with Xingtai characteristics and comparative advantages, and the city's economy and society have shown a sustained upward development trend.

Release advantages, change lanes and overtake, and accelerate the reshaping of the manufacturing industry
Historically, Xingtai manufacturing industry has had a glorious moment.
As a national old industrial base, Xingtai City once had a complete range of industrial systems, including heavy industries such as steel, energy, metallurgy, machinery, and chemical industry, as well as light industries such as textiles, medicine, food, and building materials, as well as a large number of star enterprises that were well-known and influential at home and abroad, such as Long March Automobile Factory, Hongxing Automobile Factory, Xingtai Tractor Factory, and Blue Bird Furniture Factory.
However, due to various reasons, the manufacturing industry in Xingtai City once showed a downward trend. Although there are many enterprises and clusters, they are generally small in scale, low in level and small in contribution. In 2022, there will be 19 industrial clusters with revenue of less than 5 billion yuan, and there will be no industrial clusters with more than 50 billion yuan. Among the leading enterprises, there are only 2 Delong and JA Solar with an output value of more than 10 billion. Most of the industries are traditional industries, and most of the enterprises belong to low-threshold industries with low capital and technical requirements. In addition, most industries are labor-intensive, with low added value and low tax contributions. Although agricultural resources are abundant, the deep processing rate of most agricultural products is low, the agricultural industrial chain is short, and the added value of agricultural products is not high.
Manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy. It is the common wish of Xingtai people to make every effort to reshape the style of a strong manufacturing city.
What is exciting is that after years of accumulation, some traditional industries have begun to change lanes and overtake, some supporting large projects are gradually growing, some emerging industries are accelerating their rise, some unique resources are releasing vitality, and some areas have become provincial strategies. "The industrial development of Xingtai City has reached a period of development and breakthrough, and it has reached a critical moment to move towards a wider, higher and deeper field, which can be said to have unlimited potential and a promising future. ”
In order to reshape the style of a strong manufacturing city, Xingtai City unswervingly implements the strategy of establishing a city through industry, and determines the development direction dominated by new materials, food processing, new energy, and digital economy. Take industrial development as the key to enhance vitality, enhance strength, expand employment and drive entrepreneurship, fully release the comparative advantages of complete industrial categories and good foundation, and effectively optimize the industrial structure, expand the industrial scale and enhance the industrial level.
Seize the opportunity and focus on cultivating the two leading industries into the provincial strategy
The new material industry and the food processing industry are the two leading industries that the provincial party committee clearly requires Xingtai City to focus on cultivating and developing.
New materials are the leading of high-tech industries and the key foundation of high-end manufacturing. There are 110 enterprises above designated size in the field of new materials in the city, which is the third largest industrial industry in Xingtai City, accounting for 40.6% of the added value in the high-tech industry, accounting for the largest proportion.
Xingtai focuses on the three major fields of special steel and alloy materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, and advanced polymer materials, and strives to build the new material industry into a new kinetic energy and new engine for high-quality development.

The special steel and alloy materials industry led by Sinosteel Xingji, the inorganic non-metallic materials industry led by Jizhong Energy Glass Fiber, and the advanced polymer materials industry led by Xuyang and Kingboard have accelerated their efforts to become bigger, better and stronger by means of enterprise relocation and upgrading, technological transformation and capacity expansion, capital increase and chain extension.
The third phase of the production line of Hebei Jizhong New Materials Co., Ltd. with an annual output of 120,000 tons of glass fiber is under intense construction. The total investment of the project is 1.44 billion yuan, and it is expected to be ignited and put into trial operation in May. Li Yatao, general manager of the company, said that the project has added a deep processing link, and the company's production capacity will enter the first echelon of the industry after it is put into operation.
As a traditional agricultural city, Xingtai is known as the "granary of the cotton sea", with a good foundation for the food processing industry, a large volume, many brands and full potential. Since last year, Xingtai City has seized the historical opportunity to build a food processing industry uplift belt in the province, and planned to implement the overall strategic plan of "One Belt and Five Parks" that can radiate and drive Ningjin, Longyao, Baixiang, Renze, Nanhe, Shahe and other counties (cities and districts), and accelerate the transformation of Xingtai City from a large grain production city to a large food processing city.
In Bailiang Group, the construction of a new batch of green ecological grain storage bungalows is being stepped up. Seven new granaries will be completed and put into use soon, with an estimated new warehouse capacity of 126,000 tons.
"The application of effective new technologies to promote the storage capacity of grain raw materials. Strive to create a new cedar. Shang Jinsuo, honorary chairman of Bailiang Group and leader of the research group of green grain storage, said that Bailiang Group will actively practice the role of state-owned enterprises, give full play to its brand advantages, and provide investment, warehousing, capital and other assistance for attracting upstream and downstream enterprises and developing selenium-rich agriculture, and continue to contribute to the strength of Bailiang in Xingtai food processing industry.
Seize the track, move towards the new, and accelerate the cultivation and formation of new quality productive forces
Seizing the development opportunity of new energy vehicles, Xingtai City has done a good job of extending the chain and strengthening the chain around the core enterprises of "two automobiles and one tractor", driving the development of upstream and downstream industries such as parts and trade services, improving the localization rate of products, and driving a number of upstream and downstream enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

Focusing on the construction of a new energy city, Xingtai City actively cultivates new quality productivity and strives to seize new tracks. The city has built 8 grid-connected wind power stations with an installed capacity of 539,500 kilowatts, 48 centralized photovoltaic projects have been completed and connected to the grid with an installed capacity of 3,320,700 kilowatts, and distributed photovoltaic grid-connected projects have been connected to the grid of 2,360,600 kilowatts. In addition, Xingtai City vigorously develops new energy industries such as hydrogen energy, methanol energy, and pumped storage, laying a good foundation for seizing new industrial tracks and new outlets.
The digital economy is an urgent need to promote the high-quality development of Xingtai. Xingtai City regards the digital economy as the leading industry of the city's high-tech zone, and relies on the city's big data center to sign a framework cooperation agreement with Huawei and its ecosystem partners to coordinate the provision of deliverable factories and accelerate the attraction and introduction of digital economy physical production projects. At the same time, we will speed up the negotiation progress of projects such as Zhongke Chaoyun, Health 160, and Beijing Zhongguancun Information Valley, and strive to build a complete digital economy industry chain in 3 to 5 years, covering hardware manufacturing, software development, data services, application promotion, etc.
In addition, Xingtai City also uses digital technology to carry out all-round and full-chain transformation of traditional industries, expand industrial digital application scenarios, implant digital economy physical production projects, and actively explore the implementation path of digital economy industry and new and old kinetic energy conversion projects.
Structural optimization and scale expansion entered the list of top 100 cities in advanced manufacturing industry for the first time
Over the past year, the driving force and support of Xingtai City's manufacturing industry have become more and more prominent.
From January to November last year, the total number of industrial enterprises above the designated size in new materials, food processing and new energy reached 287, with an output value of 113.19 billion yuan, accounting for 15.8% of the city's industrial enterprises above the designated size, contributing 37.9% of the output value.

The city's innovation ability has reached a new level. In 2023, in the evaluation of the province's county-level scientific and technological innovation capabilities, Xingtai City will add 4 new Class A counties, 5 Class C counties will be upgraded to Class B counties, and the city will receive a total of 30 million yuan in county-level scientific and technological innovation incentive funds, ranking first in the province.
The momentum of characteristic industrial clusters is stronger. Following the selection of the first batch of small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial clusters of Pingxiang County and Qinghe County cashmere and products in early 2023, in October of that year, Linxi Bearing Parts Industry Cluster was selected into the second batch of small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic industrial clusters list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. So far, Xingtai City's characteristic industrial clusters occupy 3 seats among the 11 national-level characteristic industrial clusters in the province, ranking first in the province.
The "leader" enterprise is leading in the province. In 2023, 38 new enterprises in the city will be rated as "leaders" of provincial and county-level characteristic industrial clusters, with a total of 62, ranking second in the province. In the same year, 169 new specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises were added, bringing the total number to 547, and 6 "little giant" enterprises were added, bringing the total number to 32.
Not long ago, the China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CCID Research Institute) released the "2023 Research Report on the Top 100 Advanced Manufacturing Cities", and Xingtai City entered the list of the top 100 advanced manufacturing cities for the first time, ranking 96th.
The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology said that entering the top 100 cities in the advanced manufacturing industry marks a breakthrough in the development of advanced manufacturing industry in Xingtai City, and injects strong impetus into promoting the high-end, intelligent and green development of the city's manufacturing industry and accelerating the promotion of new industrialization.
At the beginning of the new year, start a new game, riveting full of energy and start again.
