On November 5th, a work conference on the promotion campaign for the aluminum component industry in Baise was held in Baise City. The conference sounded the clarion call for the promotion campaign and emphasized the need to thoroughly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Autonomous Region regarding the establishment of ten modernized pillar industries in the manufacturing sector, as well as the requirements of Baise City for building the advanced manufacturing base of aluminum components in Guangxi. The conference stressed the importance of seizing the investment layout window period at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, concentrating efforts on conducting precise promotion, and fully introducing a batch of high-quality projects that can strengthen the industrial chain, expand the chain, and enhance the chain. The goal is to accelerate the construction of the advanced manufacturing base of aluminum components in Guangxi.
The conference required seizing the opportunities presented by the upgrading of downstream demands such as lightweighting for new energy vehicles, energy storage and photovoltaic power, AI computing power cooling, and robotics, and promoting the upgrading of Baise's aluminum products towards greater depth, thinner thickness, and higher-end directions. It was necessary to ensure the effectiveness of project benefit assessment and select projects with high added value, strong chain-filling capabilities, and good local adaptability. Based on resource endowments and industrial foundations, targeted and differentiated layouts should be pursued, and specific market segments should be selected in a way that avoids "spreadsheet-style" promotion. The benefits of the Pingluan Canal's navigation should be fully utilized to attract projects that can transform the "channel economy" into the "local economic development", and build an "outbound economy" pattern of "importing raw materials from overseas - local deep processing - transportation via the Pingluan Canal for overseas sales", so that more goods can be processed, valued, and distributed in Baise.
The conference emphasized the need to form a "100-person team" for promotion, focusing on the eight key directions specified in the "Implementation Plan for the Promotion Campaign of the Aluminum Component Industry in Baise City": hot-rolled steel to address shortcomings, automotive lightweighting die-casting, aluminum components for energy storage and photovoltaic power, sheet, strip, and foil and high-end profiles, high-value utilization of recycled aluminum, high-purity aluminum, aluminum wire and cable for electrical purposes, and aluminum-based conductors for export to ASEAN. The half-year promotion campaign should be carried out with full determination and on a detailed plan. It is necessary to implement diversified and precise promotion, adhere to long-term promotion and business promotion, make good use of platform promotion and fund promotion. A responsibility system for promotion involving departments, local implementation, and coordination among industry teams, investment promotion departments, and overseas institutions should be established to form a coordinated promotion pattern. Project full-cycle guarantees should be strengthened, including opening up green channels for ensuring element supply, improving local services, strengthening project planning and reserve, and ensuring financial support, to ensure that the promotion campaign achieves results and outcomes.
