In 2025, China's foundry industry wrote a substantial and glorious chapter. Ranging from the aluminum alloy support beam of high-speed trains traveling at 450 kilometers per hour to the 800-ton cast steel upper crossbeam of the core component; from the 100-ton high-pressure outer cylinder of nuclear power plants to the integrated die-casting body structural parts; from the DN3000 ductile iron pipe to the first domestically produced 300MW class F-class heavy-duty gas turbine blade; from the breakthrough in large-scale case investment casting technology to the appearance of titanium alloy castings with a diameter of 1300mm, and further to the grid connection and power generation of the world's largest 26MW offshore wind power casting unit... Each breakthrough reflects wisdom, and each achievement spurs progress. The reshaping by the thousand-degree flame not only integrates the genes of innovation into every inch of the metal but also makes "resilience" the most prominent color of the era in the foundry industry.
This year, we have aggregated industry insights and established expert to formulate effective strategies for transformation and upgrading. In the context of a dynamic environment, we have taken a holistic view, planned comprehensively, and implemented practical measures. These include releasing industry data to identify trends and issue risk warnings; establishing service stations in key enterprises to eliminate the barriers among industry, academia, and research; and organizing dozens of events such as the Annual Congress, Metal China/Diecasting China event, Innovation and Development Forum, Northeast Asia Foundry Exhibition, Die Casting CEO Summit. These events have continuously thrived, facilitating knowledge refinement, connecting government and enterprises, and bridging China with the rest of the world.
Reflecting on our journey, we now look forward with anticipation. We have collaborated with global partners to jointly design a new blueprint for the coordinated development of the foundry industry. Every interaction across geographical distances represents an accumulation of trust and a convergence of ideas.
We pay tribute to every forward-looking individual who has forged ahead! In 2026, may we continue to stand in solidarity and march towards the next milestone of glory.
