In recent years, leveraging its local industrial foundation and focusing deeply on the core sector of equipment manufacturing, our city has committed to a development path characterized by intelligent, green, and integrated practices. We have continuously driven the transformation, upgrading, and efficiency enhancement of the traditional equipment manufacturing industry. Today, let us step onto the production lines and into the smart manufacturing facilities of local enterprises to experience firsthand the thriving momentum and robust growth driving our city's equipment manufacturing industrial cluster.

Shanxi Huaxin Electric Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in the city's equipment manufacturing industry and a key provincial base for the R&D and production of mining electrical equipment. Inside the workshop, automated production lines are running at high speed as workers carry out their tasks in an orderly fashion, rushing to fulfill orders and going all out to manufacture core flagship products, such as flameproof mobile substations for mining use.

Step into Huaxin Electric’s intelligent production workshop, and the scenes of traditional, labor-intensive manual work are nowhere to be found; in their place is a modern production landscape defined by digitalization, automation, and intelligence. From the precision machining of core components and the assembly and testing of complete units to final quality inspection, the company has successfully integrated intelligent technologies across key processes throughout the entire workflow.

Leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies such as 5G industrial internet and artificial intelligence, the enterprise has comprehensively upgraded its legacy production lines and established an integrated digital management platform. This platform combines production control, quality traceability, data analytics, and intelligent scheduling, enabling visualization, precision, and traceability across the entire production process, thereby significantly enhancing the level of production refinement and standardization.

For years, our company has been deeply committed to the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of electrical equipment for mining. We have steadfastly upheld quality standards while continuously refining our core products, optimizing our product portfolio, and enhancing our core competitiveness. Moving forward, we will further increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, intensify our R&D efforts, tackle key technical challenges, and strengthen and improve our core products, thereby fully empowering the high-quality development of the coal mining machinery and equipment industry in Yangquan.

Coal mining machinery is a core pillar of the city's equipment manufacturing industry; within this sector, mine support products have emerged as a highly competitive niche, driven by advantages such as large-scale production, a comprehensive supporting ecosystem, and strong adaptability. Shanxi Guangkai Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., located in the Baiquan Industrial Park in the suburbs, stands as a key benchmark enterprise in this field.

Within Guangkai Machinery’s standardized production workshops, various underground coal mine support components are being manufactured in an orderly manner and rolling off the production lines in batches. The company specializes in a comprehensive range of mining support products and accessories, meeting the full spectrum of supply chain needs for underground coal mine support systems. With a diverse product portfolio, specialized production processes, and robust manufacturing capacity, the company has established a large-scale, specialized, and standardized production system, thereby building a solid equipment-based safeguard for safe coal mine operations.

We have invested over RMB 2 million in a phased upgrade to transform our facilities into smart workshops. By modernizing key equipment and production lines—specifically targeting critical processes—we have adopted an integrated strategy combining intelligent machinery, digital management, and new product R&D. Currently, the company operates more than 300 units of production equipment, including over 20 intelligent systems for automated anchor manufacturing, packaging, and marking. We have achieved a breakthrough in the digitalization of key processes, resulting in a 40% overall increase in production efficiency.

By the end of 2025, the city is home to 46 enterprises within the equipment manufacturing industry cluster (above designated size), having fully established a new industrial development landscape characterized by a primary focus on coal mining machinery alongside a diverse range of sectors such as pumps and valves, as well as energy conservation and environmental protection equipment.

Among them, there are 36 core enterprises in the coal mining machinery sector; leveraging key industry players such as Huayue Machinery, a full-chain production base for fully mechanized coal mining equipment—integrating design, manufacturing, commissioning, and service—has been successfully established, driving a continuous rise in the region's industrial recognition, brand influence, and market competitiveness.

At the same time, the city is home to two enterprises specializing in pump and valve equipment and eight comprehensive equipment manufacturing firms. The "Yang" brand gas gate valve produced by Yangquan Valve Co., Ltd. holds a market share of over 60%, firmly establishing the company in the top tier of this domestic industry segment.

Moving forward, we will focus on the intelligent, green, and integrated transformation of the equipment manufacturing industry and cultivate "new quality productive forces." We will continuously strengthen, supplement, and extend industrial chains; increase support for enterprise technological upgrades and R&D innovation; and foster the growth of leading enterprises as well as specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative ("SRDI") firms. By upgrading traditional coal machinery and expanding the scale and efficiency of new equipment sectors, we aim to continuously enhance industrial cluster density and core competitiveness, thereby propelling the city's equipment manufacturing industry to a new level of high-quality development.
