From January to July this year, Pingguo County implemented 33 industrial investment projects, with a total investment of 10.476 billion yuan, an annual planned investment of 3.688 billion yuan, and completed an investment of 2.008 billion yuan. The total amount ranks among the top in the city, with industrial investment providing strong support for the industrial economy.

Industrial project construction is listed as an important measure for stable industrial growth. The county Party committee and county government attach great importance to promoting industrial project construction. Leaders of the county's four major teams have established nine major working groups, publicly displaying evaluation flags to supervise and advance projects, inspecting and evaluating project construction monthly, and publicizing evaluation results by displaying "red flag, blue flag, white flag" rankings; Implementing the "Secretary's Accountability" project promotion mechanism, organizing regular or irregular random draws, directly inspecting project sites, and resolving project promotion issues on-site; Implementing a performance evaluation mechanism, listing industrial investment as a key component of annual performance evaluation, and issuing monthly inspection reports; Strengthening departmental collaboration, the county industrial group takes the lead in implementing and promoting industrial projects, coordinating cooperation in taxation, finance, land, planning, and approval services to form a synergy, implementing case-by-case discussions for key industrial projects, and frequently organizing multi-departmental on-site coordination and services.

Carefully planning and promoting major projects around the "second entrepreneurship" of aluminum. Planning and promoting the construction of projects such as Hualei Light Alloy, Baimine Group's 1 million tons of deep-processed aluminum, Qiangqiang Phase IV's 200,000 tons of prebaked anode carbon, Pinglu's 1 million square meters of aluminum formwork and 800,000 tons of recycled aluminum, and Heta Technology's 60,000 tons of aluminum fluoride, while precision castings, Boda Aluminum Magnesium, Pingguo Aluminum Wire, Chaoneng Electronics, Youhe Aluminum, and other projects have been completed and put into production, enhancing the competitiveness of the aluminum processing industry. In particular, Guangxi Baimine High-tech Aluminum Co., Ltd.'s 1 million tons/year deep-processed aluminum project was successfully signed and commenced construction, with a total investment of 19.2 billion yuan and land acquisition of 7,000 mu. It mainly focuses on the production and R&D of high-end aluminum products, primarily medium and thick plates, building a super-large, well-equipped aluminum rolling production base that will provide high-quality, high-value-added aluminum rolling products to domestic and international markets, while also constructing aluminum casting projects such as aluminum wheels and transmission casings.

Emphasizing high-quality industrial development to boost confidence in stable industrial growth. Focusing on the coordinated development of non-aluminum industries, Guangxi Qiangqiang Carbon Co., Ltd.'s Phase IV 200,000 tons/year prebaked anode technical renovation and expansion project is nearing completion and is expected to start production in September this year. Upon full production, it can achieve an annual industrial output value of 650 million yuan and average annual profits and taxes of 150 million yuan. Supporting projects with annual output value contributions of over 1 billion yuan — Huazhong Building Materials' red mud comprehensive utilization project for 5 million tons/year ecological cement, Tianchang Co., Ltd.'s 30,000 tons/year tea liquor project, and other projects are progressing as planned and are expected to be completed and put into operation next year. Driven by major projects, Futai Industry and Trade Co., Ltd.'s 130 million standard resin grinding wheel cutting blades/year project, Langkun Technology's 70,000 tons/year a-alumina production line project with a total investment of 189 million yuan, Baichen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.'s 55,000 tons/year edible alcohol project, and Zhuoqiang Co., Ltd.'s 150,000 square meters/year aluminum formwork project have successively been completed and put into production, reaching economies of scale, contributing approximately 1.5 billion yuan in annual output value, becoming new highlights of industrial economic growth, and further consolidating the foundation for high-quality industrial development.

Actively striving for project funds to inject new impetus into industrial project promotion. Since 2016, projects have been actively packaged and reported to higher authorities for funding, securing over 130 million yuan in support funds for 20 projects, including technical renovation and energy saving, from the superior industry and information technology departments. Among them: Boda Company's emerging industry equity fund of 80 million yuan, which was the only emerging industry fund support project in Baise City in 2017; Hualei Company's technical renovation project subsidy of 12 million yuan, which is one of the projects with the largest single technical renovation subsidy amount. Currently, there are also 5 emerging industry projects, such as the Pingguo Copper-Aluminum Plate Aluminum Formwork Project and Ruiqifeng Electric Bicycle Project, in the expert review project library. Driven by the effective incentives of superior technical renovation subsidies, the county's annual industrial investment has remained above 5 billion yuan in recent years.
