On March 31, 2024, the highly anticipated Jining Leap Forward International Smart Manufacturing Base project on the Beijing Hangzhou Canal officially broke ground. The launch of the project marks a solid step forward for Jining in the field of smart manufacturing, injecting new vitality into the regional economic development.

It is reported that the first phase of the project is expected to be successfully completed within this year, achieving a steel trade volume of up to 1 billion yuan and achieving a remarkable initial processing volume of 200000 tons of steel. This achievement not only demonstrates the efficient operation and excellent quality of the project, but also highlights Jining's firm determination and strong strength in promoting the development of the port industry and upgrading smart manufacturing.

The Lingang International Smart Manufacturing Base project located in the Jining Energy Leap Forward Port Area is striving to build a multi-functional demonstration park that integrates steel processing, logistics trade, warehousing services, supply chain finance, intelligent manufacturing, and other functions. This measure will greatly promote the agglomeration of the steel industry, promote the coordinated development of the industrial chain and supply chain, and inject new vitality into the economic development of Jining region.

The overall planning and step-by-step implementation of the project ensure that each step is steadily and efficiently carried out. The first phase of the project will build three intelligent manufacturing equipment workshops, two standardized warehouses, and supporting facilities such as exhibition and sales centers. Within the year, the plan is to complete the construction of a 100000 square meter factory building and a 30000 square meter equipment exhibition hall, laying a solid foundation for the smooth operation of the project in the future.

With the advancement of the Lingang International Smart Manufacturing Base project, the logistics industry of Jining Port and Shipping will usher in broader development prospects. In the future, Jining will continue to seize opportunities, accelerate the construction of a northern inland waterway shipping center, and contribute more to the sustained and healthy development of the regional economy.Editor/Cheng Liting
