On April 1st, Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (000709.SZ) conducted an on-site investigation with institutions such as Galaxy Securities, engaging in in-depth discussions with institutional investors on core topics including the company’s basic situation, green and low-carbon transformation, AI technology applications, and iron ore resource security.

Company Overview and Core Advantages: Annual Production of 30 Million Tons of Premium Steel, Leading Vanadium-Titanium Technology

Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. was established in January 2010, formed through the merger of Tangshan Iron & Steel, Handan Iron & Steel, and Chengde Vanadium-Titanium. It is one of the large-scale steel enterprises in China. The company has an annual capacity of 30 million tons of premium steel and leads in vanadium-titanium steel smelting and vanadium product manufacturing, with an annual vanadium product capacity of 22k tons.

The main production bases are located in Hebei Province, with products covering four categories: plates, bars, wires, and profiles, widely used in key fields such as automobiles, home appliances, railways, bridges, and construction. Notably, cold-rolled thin sheets, high-strength rebar, and pipeline steel are renowned domestically and internationally. Automotive sheets, home appliance sheets, nuclear-grade steel, and high-strength seismic-resistant building materials have successfully entered high-end markets at home and abroad. The company’s advantages include: a diverse product portfolio that can replace imports; high-strength, highly corrosion-resistant automotive sheets and high-end home appliance decorative sheets listed among Hebei Province’s top ten steel products; advanced equipment levels with transformation upgrades completed at Tangshan New Area and Handan New Area; a comprehensive innovation system with outstanding R&D capabilities; all major production bases rated as environmentally friendly Grade A; strategic location with convenient transportation; and strong resource integration capabilities of Hebei Iron & Steel Group, ensuring reliable raw material and fuel supply.

Green and Low-Carbon Transformation: All Bases Achieve Grade A Environmental Ratings, Breakthroughs in Hydrogen and Energy Storage Technologies

Adhering to the philosophy of “Ecological Priority, Green Development,” the company promotes the transformation from traditional manufacturing to green intelligent manufacturing. Currently, key production bases including Tangshan New Area, Medium and Thick Plate Company, Handan Baogang, Handan Huafeng, and Chengde Vanadium-Titanium have all been rated as Grade A environmental performance enterprises.

In terms of low-carbon technology deployment, the company advances clean energy substitution through breakthroughs in hydrogen energy, green electricity, and all-vanadium flow battery energy storage. It focuses on developing green, low-carbon high-end automotive sheets, home appliance sheets, and high-strength medium and thick plates, transforming the “green steel” advantage into product competitiveness.

Deep Integration of AI Technology: Smart Factory Listed Among National Excellence Level, Production Efficiency Improved

The company continuously promotes the deep integration of new-generation information and communication technologies with steelmaking processes, operational techniques, and management, strengthening AI, 5G, and other technological empowerment, and improving the smart factory application system. Supported by large-scale steel models, production line efficiency, product quality, and innovation capacity have significantly increased.

Self-developed models such as the LF automatic smelting model have been successfully applied on production lines, achieving full-process automation of steelmaking. To date, two factories and six exemplary scenarios have been selected for the national list of intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and scenarios. In 2025, Tangshan New Area’s “Next-Generation Metallurgical Process Steel Smart Factory” and Handan Baogang’s “Deeply Customized Steel Smart Factory” were further recognized as national excellence-level intelligent factories.

Iron Ore Resource Security: 3.48 Billion Tons of Domestic Controlled Resources, 100 Million Tons of Overseas Stockpiles

Relying on Hebei Iron & Steel Group’s strong resource integration capabilities, raw material supply is well assured. The group’s self-sufficiency in iron ore ranks among the top in domestic steel enterprises, with approximately 3.48 billion tons of controllable iron ore resources domestically and an annual concentrate production of 10 million tons. Overseas, the company owns rich mine resources with an average grade of 58%, and current stockpile resources amount to about 100 million tons.
