Iron and steel enterprises number will be compressed to 300

Deputy director general of ministry of industry and raw materials industrial company LuoTieJun revealed, in the face of the current steel industry overcapacity, the situation of low profit, recent miit are launching process of the transformation of iron and steel industry development action plan (2015-2017) “(hereinafter referred to as the” action plan “), is expected to come before June. It is understood that the goal of “action plan” is that after three years trying to compress 80 million tons of steel production capacity, to relieve the contradictions of excess production capacity; Set up two or three smart demonstration plant, the promotion industry two fusion levels. At the same time promote the industry merger and reorganization, the iron and steel enterprise quantity control in the 300 or so; Enterprise total energy consumption to realize zero growth, pollutant total amount.

According to the cisa’s statistics, in 2014 China’s crude steel production capacity of about 1.14 billion tons. In China there are more than 500 steel mills, including private steel companies reached more than 400, and in the steel production point of view, the state-owned private each half. Complete linkage of small and medium-sized metallurgical enterprise honorary President of the chamber of commerce Zhao Xizi once said, more than 400 private steel companies, the production capacity of 10 million tons of seven home, and the production capacity of 1 million tons the following more than 200, and the future existence of the most difficult is the production capacity of 1 million tons the following small steel mills. “These small steel mills comprehensive strength is weak, difficult transformation or upgrading, compliance audit. In addition, due to the small asset scale, financial strength is not enough lead to debt more environmental protection, the steel mills will be out in the next five years.”

In this background, to help the steel industry transformation, realize the merger and reorganization, optimal allocation of resources has become the government need to face to face with an important task. Due to the severe overcapacity in steel prices continue to fall, enterprise production and management difficulties, the decline of the industry as a whole benefits. Steel prices fell all the way, since the fourth quarter of 2011 record low. Steel association steel composite price index has risen from the end of the fourth quarter of 2011 fell to 135.93 highs in 2015 January of 77.13, down more than 40%, tons of steel price cut has reached 2100 yuan. In recent years, the steel industry profitability continues to decline, large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises as a whole is hovering and edge. From the point of concrete action, to solve the excess capacity, will strictly enforce equal dose or replacement, strengthening standard management; Specify the layout adjustment optimization scheme, and guide the national layout. Two fusion standard system, and at the same time, improve the development of intelligent manufacturing, building demonstration plant, and support the development of e-commerce. In addition, advancing the combination of advantage enterprises, promote regional corporate restructuring integration, in which is difficult enterprise assets reorganization; Combined with “all the way along the” strategy, support superior enterprises “going out”, and to encourage with downstream steel enterprises “going out”.
