On the first working day of the new year, the construction sites of key projects in Linxi County, Xingtai City, were bustling with activity: machinery roared and tower cranes stood tall in the bearing industrial park, with construction workers rushing to complete their tasks; The basic engineering in the logistics industry park is accelerating, and the prototype of standardized factories is gradually emerging; The on-site pipeline laying of livelihood supporting projects is being carried out in an orderly manner, and there is a strong sense of progress everywhere with the slogan of "sprint at the beginning and decisive battle at the beginning". As the "main engine" for high-quality development of the county economy, the first batch of construction projects in Linxi County in 2026 cover multiple fields such as high-end manufacturing, modern logistics, and infrastructure. With solid project investment and construction efforts, it plays a strong role in the development of the new year.

The Linxi bearing industry has added "new momentum" and accelerated its high-end transformation. At the construction site of the third phase of the "International Axis City" industrial park, the construction team is working hard to carry out the construction of the main structure of the factory building. More than 20 bearing supporting enterprises waiting to sign contracts will soon be settled here. As a national hub of the bearing industry, the intelligent upgrade project of precision bearings that has started construction in Linxi has attracted much attention. The second phase of the high-end precision bearing production base project of Harbin Axle Group has a total investment of over 300 million yuan, and will add 150 automated production lines. After being put into operation, it can achieve an annual output of 80 million sets of high-precision automotive bearings and an annual output value exceeding 800 million yuan. It is worth mentioning that the precision module bearing project invested by Serbia's Z&S Bearing Company continues to expand production, and its multi station composite processing production line, which fills the domestic technological gap, is operating at full capacity. Orders have been scheduled until the second half of 2026, with overseas market share exceeding 90%. The promotion of these projects will further consolidate the industrial position of Linxi, where one out of every ten bearings in the country is produced, and promote the comprehensive transformation of the bearing industry from "low-end OEM" to "high-end independent brand".

Diversified projects are advancing simultaneously, improving both industrial ecology and people's livelihood security. In addition to the core bearing industry, the Xinsheng Logistics Base project with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan has started construction. The project covers an area of 1200 acres and will create an important coal storage and processing center in North China. It will adopt fully enclosed operation and intelligent sorting system, with an annual processing capacity of up to 20 million tons. After the project is put into operation, it will drive the coordinated development of supporting service industries such as transportation and maintenance. In the field of infrastructure, the extension project of the South Ring Road in Linxi County is advancing synchronously with the construction of the urban water system. The South Ring Road project will break through the regional transportation bottleneck and form a linkage with the Xingheng Expressway Fuyang Interchange, significantly reducing the logistics costs of enterprises. In the field of people's livelihood, the construction of the county people's hospital medical service capacity improvement project and the expansion project of the experimental middle school teaching building will be accelerated, which will further improve the county's public service system and enable the public to share the fruits of development.

A high-quality business environment provides "escort" for project construction. Linxi County adheres to the concept of "project first, service foremost", and provides dedicated service teams for each started project, offering full process services such as approval assistance and resource docking, reducing the average production cycle of enterprises by 60 days. In response to the employment needs of enterprises, the government has partnered with universities such as Hebei University of Science and Technology to carry out school enterprise cooperation and targeted the training of skilled talents; In terms of supply chain guarantee, we have promoted the joint construction of customized supply channels for special steel between Linzhou Group and Hegang Group, and have supplied more than 70000 tons of bearing special steel to enterprises. At the same time, Hebei Bearing Industry Technology Research Institute has deep cooperation with more than 20 scientific research institutions, with an annual technology conversion rate of over 60%, providing solid support for project technological innovation.

It is reported that Linxi County plans to promote more than 50 key projects in 2026, with a total investment of over 20 billion yuan, of which 80% are projects worth over 100 million yuan, highly in line with the development direction of the "two main and two auxiliary" industries. With the accelerated landing of a number of large and good projects, Linxi is taking the bearing industry as its core, linking modern logistics, high-end manufacturing, livelihood infrastructure and other diversified industries, steadily moving towards a new highland of industries worth billions, injecting stronger impetus into the high-quality development of Xingtai's county-level economy.Editor/Bian Wenjun
