Brilliance and helplessness of China's cement plants after a century of trials and hardships

On June 18, relevant information showed that the scrapped assets and buildings and structures of the 2 # production line of China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. in Qixia District of Nanjing were demolished and transferred as a whole.

was born in the modern times of the national industrial enterprises

at the beginning of the last century a hundred years ago In China, war is raging and society is in turmoil. China's cement plant was born in that era, and has gone through more than a hundred years of wind and rain.

year, The Chinese cement plant imported a rotary kiln of 2.25 × 46 meters from Nackel-Chempo Company of Germany, which produced clinker every day. 3. Most of the cement used in the Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Project came from here.

In 1927, China's cement plants imported from Germany two cement kilns with a diameter of 2. China's cement plants formed a daily cement production capacity of 715 tons consisting of four wet rotary kilns. This was one of the largest cement production enterprises in China at that time.

1949, the ancient capital of Nanjing was liberated, and China's cement plants were reborn. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, it has realized public-private joint ventures and gradually embarked on the road of socialist development. By the 1970s, the cement output of the factory had increased from the highest annual output of 120000 tons before liberation to about 500000 tons. After the

reform and opening up, China's cement plants supported by four small wet rotary kilns, after more than 60 years of continuous and exhausted operation, can no longer adapt to the modern market with fierce competition on a large scale, and the operation of enterprises is becoming increasingly difficult.

, The project was started in August 1994, started trial production in May 1996, and passed the national acceptance in November 1999, with an annual output of 1.1 million tons of clinker. However, at this time, the cement plant was also burdened with heavy debts.

In 2001, due to backward technology and heavy burden, the company has been unable to meet the development requirements of the market economy. The factory lost hundreds of millions of yuan, and at the same time, the wages of the employees of the enterprise could not be paid on time, including more than one year's medical expenses, pension, unemployment insurance and housing accumulation fund, and the enterprise fell into the quagmire of being unable to operate. In

2002, in order to revitalize assets and regain new life, with the strong support of provincial and municipal governments at all levels, China Cement Plant became the pilot unit of the "three-linkage" restructuring of state-owned enterprises in Nanjing, and Nanjing Chemical Construction Industry Group signed a m & a agreement with Conch. Conch Group acquired China Cement Plant as a whole in the form of debt and restructured it into China Cement Plant Co., Ltd.

After joining Conch Group, the state-owned assets of China Cement Plant have not only realized value preservation and appreciation, but also the income of employees has continued to grow. In 2005, the average income of employees in the company reached 18500 yuan per year, and in 2006, it reached 21000 yuan per year, an increase of 0. It also strengthens the confidence of restructuring and development.

February 4, Nanjing Planning and Natural Resources Bureau announced that the mining license of Qinglongshan Cement Limestone Mine of China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. was cancelled. So far, China Cement Plant no longer owns mine resources, and three cement clinker production lines have fallen into the situation of "no rice in the pot".

Almost three months later, the Jiangsu Provincial Office of Industry and Information Technology issued an announcement on the capacity confirmation of China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. The announcement shows that a total of 2.1 million tons of cement clinker production capacity of China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. will be replaced to Anhui Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, specifically 2000t/d and 5000t/d.

By December 2022, the Jiangsu Provincial Office of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on the demolition of the cement production line used by China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. for capacity replacement. The 2000t/d cement clinker production line and 5000t/d cement clinker production line used for capacity replacement by China Cement Plant Co., Ltd. have been cut off from water and electricity, part of the rotary kiln barrel has been cut to the ground, and the two production lines no longer have production capacity.

At present, the overcapacity of the cement industry is becoming increasingly serious." With the intensification of market competition and the loss of mine resources in China's cement plants, transporting ore from along the Yangtze River has become the main solution, but this will probably greatly increase the production costs of enterprises. Jiangnan Onoda, which is in the same boat

with Chinese cement plants, has been shut down in 2023. Today, although China's cement plant still has a 5000t/d production line, it lacks mine resources. Where will this century-old enterprise with the word "China" go in the future? As a heroic enterprise, even if one day China's cement plants will withdraw from the stage of history, it should be a decent farewell.
