JINING, China, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

A news report from GLOBAL TIMES ONLINE:

Jining city in east China's Shandong province has made great strides in

promoting high-quality development of industries by fostering and strengthening

featured industrial clusters of its top 10 industries and improving industrial

chains in a targeted manner.

So far, four industrial clusters in the city have been designated as

provincial-level featured industrial clusters. They have gathered 1,332

companies and provided 178,000 jobs, and generate combined annual main business

revenue of 90.26 billion yuan ($12.95 billion).

Wenshang chemical industrial park, a provincial-level chemical industrial park

located in Wenshang county of Jining, has made notable achievements in forging

a circular economy model and forming industrial clusters for the purpose of

helping enterprises reduce costs.

Putting Jining Zhongyin Electrochemical Co., Ltd., a leading enterprises of the

city's chemical industry, at the core of its development, the industrial park

has introduced large-scale high-tech supporting projects that can play an

important role in driving the development of relevant businesses and industries

to boost connectivity and cooperation among its tenants.

In recent years, the industrial park has constantly extended and strengthened

the industrial chain for the chemical industry, and preliminarily cultivated

four major industrial clusters featuring salt chemical, fine chemicals, new

chemical materials, and new coal-derived chemicals.

The industrial park has 52 tenants, among whom 25 have begun production. Last

year, the annual output value of companies in the industrial park totaled three

billion yuan.

"A lot of companies in Wenshang chemical industrial park, including our

company, have formed key links of the upstream and downstream of the chemical

industrial chain, which have brought great economic benefits to us. In

particular, it makes the supply of raw materials more convenient and helps save

raw material transportation costs," said Ni Ping, general manager of a new

material manufacturer based in the industrial park.

The company is about to put into operation a project for producing organic

amine-functionalized materials with an annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes. The

products of the project will be used in fields including aerospace structural

materials, and the raw material of the project, cyclohexanone, will be supplied

by its close neighbor Jining Zhongyin Electrochemical Co., Ltd.

"Wenshang chemical industrial park will continue making attracting investment

from businesses closely related to the chemical industrial chain as the primary

driving force for development, gather factors for innovation at a faster pace,

leverage industrial platforms, optimize resource allocation, and try our best

to grow into a new highland of green development of chemical industry in

Shandong province," said Wang Chunsheng, deputy director of the administrative

committee of the economic development zone of Wenshang county.

Since the beginning of this year, various local governments across Jining have

pooled strength to boost industrial clusters and continuously improve

industrial chains.

In Liangshan county of Jining, the first phase of a newly introduced printing

project with a designed annual capacity of 30 million copies was completed

recently. The advanced printing and binding production lines of the project are

expected to significantly elevate the printing quality and efficiency for

educational books and improve the short slab of printing service shortage in

Lianshan county's industrial cluster of educational books.

Most of the books used in the local cultural industry were printed in other

provinces, and it usually took seven to 10 days to transport these books to

Liangshan county, according to Wang Tao, general manager of the printing

company which launched the printing project in Liangshan.

"Now we can respond to customer needs quickly and send off urgently needed

products in three days," Wang said.

During the past two decades, Liangshan county has constantly extended its

industrial chain of educational publishing industry, and formed a complete

industrial chain covering such links as editing, printing, publishing,

distribution, and logistics services.

In the first half of this year, the county's industrial cluster of educational

books recorded combined sales revenue of 13.6 billion yuan, up 10 percent year

on year.
