Unswervingly build the world's first metallurgical construction national team

As the eldest son of the Republic, MCC Group was born in the construction of Angang in 1948, and is the earliest steel industry construction force in New China. 70 years of trials and hardships, 70 years of hard work, along with the new China from the establishment of an independent and complete metallurgical industry system, to realize the modernization of the metallurgical industry, and then into the ranks of the world's first-class iron and steel industrial power, MCC has always not forgotten the original intention, bear in mind the mission, adhere to the iron and steel power, national prosperity, national revitalization as its own responsibility, and faithfully serve the national strategy. Focus on the main responsibility of metallurgical construction, and cast the world with your heart for decades.

Malaysia Kuantan Industrial Park project undertaken by MCC Group

MCC has undertaken the planning, survey, design and construction of major production facilities of almost all large and medium-sized iron and steel enterprises in China, such as Angang, Wisco, Baotou Steel, TISCO, Panzhihua Steel and Baosteel. It has completed a number of steel projects with global influence such as Zhanjiang Iron and Steel, Ha Tinh in Vietnam and Kuantan in Malaysia with high quality. Firmly occupy 90% of the domestic and more than 60% of the global iron and steel metallurgy market share, with the well-deserved world's first metallurgical construction "national team", in the service of China and the world's steel industry transformation and upgrading process played an irreplaceable role.

Reshaping the supply system

The development of the industry has peaks and valleys, and the development of enterprises is not always smooth. In 2012, MCC was faced with "three superpositions" : the deep adjustment and repair period of the world economy after the financial crisis; A period of severe excess steel production capacity and severe market contraction; A few years ago, MCC blindly switched to expansion, merger and reorganization of the risk gathering period. A traditional old state-owned enterprise that "revolves around steel and steel" has fallen into a predicament of heavy loss, heavy burden, precarious survival and confused future.

In the face of a complex and severe situation, MCC Group is clearly aware that, whether in prosperity or adversity, as a metallurgical construction "national team", only in the overall coordinate system of the development of the Party and the country to find their own position, only in the responsibility of the iron and steel power has great responsibility, great contribution, in order to fully demonstrate the political responsibility and value, is worthy of the name of the "national team".

MCC adheres to the vision of the world, conducts accurate research and judgment, and recognizes the development laws of the steel industry. From the perspective of the development of the world steel industry, growth and adjustment resonance, prosperity and low tide alternate. The serious excess of steel production capacity in China's post-industrialization period is a structural excess of low-end "saturated demand" excess and high-end insufficient. Steel is the bread of industry, is the basic industry of the national economy, as the market from the past large-scale construction to reduction, green, quality, service, internationalization of high-end demand, the steel industry is bound to experience from "broken" to "broken" and then to "stand" spiral upward process.

MCC adheres to the principle of promoting development in practice and exploration, and firmly controls the initiative of development. 

The reshaping of this new supply system is not only a simple "go" and "make up" problem, but also to reconstruct the profit model of "return to the main business" and create a new core competitiveness of "firmly occupying the cutting-edge technology and moving toward the high-end value of the industrial chain". "To stand at the high-end of the international level and the height of the entire metallurgical industry, with the champion core technology, continuous innovation and innovation ability, the irreplaceable advantages of the integration of the whole industrial chain of metallurgy, to assume the national responsibility of leading China's metallurgical construction to a higher level and to the center of the world stage," This strategy established the program of high-quality development of MCC in the context of the time, and determined the persistent pursuit of a higher level of national responsibility.

Practice has proved that the adjustment of this development idea is correct, it scientifically answers the questions of what kind of metallurgical construction national team to build, how to build the metallurgical construction national team, and effectively solves the problem of "where MCC is going". Under the guidance of this strategic idea, the innovation, brand influence and core competitiveness of the core business of metallurgical construction of MCC have been greatly improved; And take this as a breakthrough, so that a traditional old enterprise that is completely dependent on steel is reborn and brimming with vitality.

The iterative upgrade of core technology and then the top

 In the face of the structural contradiction between the insufficient supply of new technologies and the excess supply of low-end technologies in the steel industry, MCC, bearing in mind the teachings of the General Secretary, retains and matches high-end resources according to the eight parts and 19 business units of the steel industry, and defines the first echelon of design sub-enterprises and matching construction sub-enterprises. It has created a core team that covers the whole process, has a reasonable scale, is well organized and has skilled, and formed the basic formation of the metallurgical construction national team.

The sub-enterprises in the first echelon of metallurgical construction always aim at the world's first goal and make precise efforts to ensure that the core technology system of each part, each unit and the overall industrial chain of iron and steel metallurgy is at the international advanced level; Closely focusing on the urgent needs of the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry, green intelligence, energy saving and environmental protection, strengthening basic research, original innovation and forward-looking research on the basis of integrated innovation, focusing on the problem of "bottleneck" and focusing resources on key problems; Adhere to market orientation, connect scientific research projects with market demand, accept tests in the market, and create benefits; Accelerate the industrialization of the core technology, put the core technology on the equipment and products, put the technology into the "safety box", cultivate, apply, train in the market, through the continuous iteration and upgrading of core technology innovation and then top, always maintain the champion, firmly occupy the commanding heights of technology, leading China's steel constantly to a higher level.

Up to now, MCC has 25 national science and technology research and development platforms, has won a total of 48 national science and technology awards since 2000, including the first prize of National Science and Technology Progress, and has a total of 27,000 effective patents, ranking first among central enterprises in terms of the number of effective patents, the number of science and technology research and development platforms and international standards. The number of national research and development projects undertaken and the number of national science and technology awards are in the forefront of central enterprises in construction.

The environment-friendly raw material field independently developed by MCC, bell free top, large long-life blast furnace, 7.63 meters large coke oven and 500 square meters large sintering machine and other key technologies, as well as green steel technology such as sintering flue gas multi-pollutant collaborative treatment broke the monopoly of foreign companies,300 tons of large converter, green environmental protection electric furnace, extra-thick plate continuous casting machine, extra-large round billet continuous casting machine, high drawing speed is small Major breakthroughs have been made in billet continuous casting machines.

The market leadership and support of scientific and technological achievements continue to strengthen, after successfully helping MCC to undertake the world's largest blast furnace project under construction - India's TATA Steel in 2015, in 2019, once again won the world's largest steel company, ArcelorMittal Ukraine Kryvolog 5000 cubic meters of super large blast furnace design and supply contract. At the same time, it has basically covered strategic projects such as environmental protection relocation, energy conservation and emission reduction and industrial upgrading of large and medium-sized domestic steel mills, which has made important contributions to promoting the considerable progress of China's steel in the field of green development.

With the integration of the whole industry chain and then higher

After more than 70 years of accumulation and precipitation, the internationally leading integration and integration of the whole process system in the field of metallurgical construction, from survey, consultation, design to equipment, manufacturing, construction and operation, is a unique and unique comparative advantage that MCC can compete with first-class peers in the same stage. The success of a number of major steel projects, such as Baowu Zhanjiang Steel Base, Vietnam Ha Tinh Steel Base and Hebei Vertical and Horizontal Steel Base, has all given play to the advantages of the integration of the whole industrial chain of MCC.

However, in the face of the deepening of the division of labor in the global value chain, there are still weak links in the whole industrial chain of MCC, the integration and integration advantages have not been fully played, the competitive position in the international industrial division of labor needs to be improved, and the value chain is still in a passive link. To this end, MCC firmly aims at the control of the global metallurgical construction system, and increases the "professional chain and industrial chain", with the double improvement of the basic capacity and industrial chain level of the industrial chain, so that the integration and integration advantages of the whole production chain are more prominent.

In the specific operation process, MCC first of all is to make the advantage chain better, persevere in doing the most valuable "skill" of planning, design and construction ability, improve the integration of design and construction coordination ability, and accelerate the high-end consulting ability of the whole process, quickly and internationally, and lay the foundation for deep integration into the international engineering construction industry chain.

The second is to strengthen the weak chain, in view of the core equipment, the biggest short board, design enterprises are required to focus on improving the core module capabilities with independent intellectual property rights, through the integration of the industrial chain, complete and control the production of equipment manufacturing products, improve their competitive position, and become a "chain master enterprise" in the product chain and value chain.

Finally, it is to complete the missing chain, accelerate the improvement of operation service capacity and investment and financing capacity, and continue to extend the high-end and depth of the industrial chain, from one-time transactions to long-term services; Promote the upstream and downstream linkage development of the industrial chain, make full use of the advantages of China Minmetals and MCC Group in ore trade, steel trade, logistics resources, financial resources, etc., after the reorganization, to provide iron and steel enterprises with all-round, full-function, full-process, full-life cycle of the whole industrial chain services; Promote the transformation of enterprises from self-circulation and intra-group circulation to extensive integration of stakeholder resources and social resources, create a more resilient and differentiated metallurgical construction industry ecosystem, and enhance the position of the Metallurgical construction National team in the steel industry chain and value chain.

Re-start a business with continuous innovation and innovation ability

 Only the reformers advance, only the innovators are strong, and only the innovators win. From the perspective of the general trend of the steel industry, China's steel industry consumption has entered the "peak platform area", and the steel industry will continue to be in structural oversupply and long-term development trend of reduction.

Compared with the previous stage of rapid growth, whether the market can remain sustainable and strong has significantly enhanced the growth constraints on the metallurgical construction national team. To this end, MCC, on the basis of firmly upgrading metallurgical technology and upgrading the industrial chain, has greatly expanded the market niche of metallurgical advantages with the transplantation and reconstruction of metallurgical core advantages and the "fission" of outreach and re-expansion.

On the one hand, with metallurgical construction as the "circle center", moderate diversity and new advantages. Relying on its innate advantages and resource endowments in the field of metallurgy, MCC has transplanted and transformed its technological advantages in the field of metallurgy, such as "water and electricity", as well as the integration advantages of the whole industrial chain system such as planning, design and construction, into the fields of capital construction and emerging industries with broader market prospects within a reasonable combat radius. In the underground integrated pipe corridor, the construction of large sports venues, as well as sewage treatment, waste incineration, steel slag treatment, steel structure and other fields to show their skills, to create new incremental development space, not only enrich the connotation of iron and steel metallurgy, but also expand the extension, quickly promote the enterprise from a relatively single metallurgical business into a "one-industry-oriented, multi-support" metallurgical development pattern, It has effectively resisted the impact of fluctuations in the steel industry.

On the other hand, follow the trend of steel industry transfer to accelerate the pace of internationalization, and then continue the new impetus. MCC Group made it clear at the 2016 Metallurgical Construction national Team landing promotion meeting: "The goal of building a national team is not MCC, not China, but the world; The vision of building the national team is not the past, not the present, but the future."

At the beginning of 2019, MCC clearly proposed to actively and strategically integrate into the global market, and strive to increase the global metallurgical market share on the basis of 60% after two to three years of efforts, and become the "national team" that stands proudly in the center of the world's iron and steel metallurgical stage.

MCC closely follows the trend of international industrial transfer of the steel industry, actively participates in international production capacity cooperation along the "Belt and Road", takes technological innovation as the lead, realizes the integration of planning, design, equipment, construction, service, raw materials, the whole process, the whole life cycle output, and has become the leader of China's steel industry and complete sets of equipment "going out".

At the same time, MCC innovates the business model, clearly participates in the projects by EPC total contracting, and can participate in a certain proportion of equity investment with the profits earned, participate in the operation services of steel enterprises for a long time, change the role of a single service provider of MCC, jointly build a demonstration benchmark steel enterprise with global competitiveness, and create a lasting market for MCC.

MCC also encourages its superior subsidiaries to go to developed countries and regions to provide value-added services with system solutions, core equipment and intelligent technology. With the confidence of the "national team" and the confidence of the "national team", MCC Group has developed and grown in the competition with strong competitors and caught up with the standard, built a broader market foundation, obtained a wider and higher visibility, and is increasingly approaching the center of the international metallurgical market stage.

Travel miles, do not forget the original intention. Over the past 70 years, the People's Republic of China has traveled all the way to the great dream of national rejuvenation.  Assume the mission of leading the development of the world's iron and steel metallurgy industry and make unremitting efforts to make new and greater contributions to the decisive victory of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing the "two centenary" goals!
