Gansu Architectural Materials Industry Speeds Transformation and Update

(ChinaGlass Network) Reporters got from Province Industry and Information Commission that the General Office of Provincial Government recently issued the Development and Implementation Strategies for Architectural Industries in Gansu Province, which has clearly indicated a cement capacity concentration ratio up to more than 85%, capacity efficiency up to over 80% and stable growth of deep processing and green architectural products by 2020.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, we had an annual growth rate of 12.1% in the architectural industries, with the key products growing rapidly and scale continuously expanding to provide raw materials support for the whole province economic development and urban and rural areas construction. Now the industry featured by problems of high traditional architectural industry proportion, slow development of new materials and low service levels and so on. to deal with these problems, the Development and Implementation Strategies for Architectural Industries in Gansu requires philosophy formation of innovation, coordination, green, open and common share, directed by the core of transformation and update, quality improvement and efficiency increase, supported by technology innovation and management and based on the goal of expanding new green materials manufacturing and application. This has clarified the total task and requirements of transformation. Firstly, the prohibition of increasing excess capacity: Expanded cement clinker materials and flat glass construction programs are prohibited being putting on records before the end of 2020. And those construction programs that have no capacity replacement will be not allowed to proceed. Capacity replacement application for cement clinker and flat glass will be suspended before the end of 2017. Secondly, the acceleration of transformation of traditional architectural industry: The industry shall accelerate the transformation and update of traditional architectural industry, overall promotion of green manufacturing, integration of “modernization and industrialization” and obsolete outdated capacity, as well as expand high added value products. Thirdly, training and development of architectural products and green architectural materials: The industry also shall accelerate the integration of glass manufacturing and new wall materials and thermal insulation and energy saving materials and processing and train ceramic industry. Fourthly, Positive expansion of application consumption market: Enterprises are supposed to promote brand construction and coordination development of manufacturing and service, as well as the green architectural materials sending to rural areas. Last but not least, “Going out” strategy is in need.
