Huayuan Industrial Development Zone’s efforts to foster economic engine

Huayuan County is making efforts to develop emerging industry clusters, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, improve its business environment, and assist project construction and investment attraction, in a bid to create a new situation of high-quality development in the county. Expand industrial clusters through targeted investment

A ceremony for the commencement of key projects in the second quarter as well as the launch of Phase I of the New Wanrun Manganese Residue Resource Utilization Demonstration Industrial Park was held in Huayuan County in April of this year.

Among them, the new Wanrun project, with a total investment of 850 million yuan, and an investment of 250 million yuan for Phase I, will consist of four production lines, a manganese tailings comprehensive utilization plant, a lead zinc tailings comprehensive utilization pre disposal center, auxiliary production workshops, finished product warehouses, raw material warehouses, and other related infrastructure, as well as supporting public auxiliary facilities such as sewage treatment systems.

This project can attract upstream and downstream supporting enterprises in the industrial chain to improve the competitiveness of the industrial chain cluster. High-quality enterprises focusing on deep processing will be introduced to extend and strengthen the manganese industry chain and promote the green development of the mining industry. In 2023, Huayuan County introduced a number of projects involving industries, agriculture, high-tech, important infrastructure, and cultural tourism with competitive advantages.

The Huayuan Industrial Development Zone has received investors more than 40 times, dispatched special teams to attract investment in the Pearl River Delta, visited and inspected more than 120 enterprises, and participated in one investment promotion conference in the Pearl River Delta. It has also drawn enterprises and projects through various means such as platforms and activities.

In 2023, it received an actual investment of 1.584 billion yuan from other provinces, a year-on-year increase of 21.28%, introduced one enterprise of Fortune Global 500 enterprises, China’s Top 500 enterprises and China’s top 500 private enterprises, and achieved actual use of foreign investment of 77,800 US dollars.

Optimize business environment through reform

At the end of 2023, the new batch of national intellectual property demonstration enterprises and advantageous enterprises in 2023 was announced. Among them, Hunan Dongfang Mining Co., Ltd. and Hunan Zhaoke Power New Energy Co., Ltd. in Huayuan County were newly identified as national intellectual property advantageous enterprises with a cultivation period of three years. Chen Zhiming, general manager of Hunan Zhaoke Power New Energy Co., Ltd., said that it is precisely because of its unique resources, talent policies, and technological advantages that the company chose to settle in Huayuan. Since its production in August 2020, the company has increased its annual output value from 40 million yuan to 350 million yuan. In the past few years, the difficulties the enterprise encountered in project approval, production and operation have been quickly resolved.

There are still many other enterprises like Hunan Zhaoke in the park. In recent years, the Huayuan Industrial Development Zone has made efforts to create convenient conditions to encourage more good projects to settle in the park.

It has established a comprehensive service center to undertake 48 empowerment matters from various county-level departments and help enterprises deal with affairs in the park. At the same time, the park has implemented a “one-stop enterprise service” mechanism, with functional departments of customs, development and reform, and housing construction, the enterprise service center, as well as land collection and storage service center set up in the comprehensive service center. It has also integrated services such as safety and environmental protection as well as scientific and technological innovation. Besides, 12 service windows have been set up, covering all service matters of enterprises in their construction, operation, and production.

The Huayuan Industrial Development Zone provides “nanny-style” services in the entire process of project attraction, signing, commencement, construction, and completion, and has attracted a large number of high-quality industrial projects.
