In the upcoming year of 2025, we anticipate that the global economy will face a series of complex and volatile challenges. With the conclusion of the US presidential election, the uncertainty surrounding global trade policies is expected to further increase, presenting new issues for international trade cooperation. In the realm of geopolitics, ongoing conflicts and tensions show no significant signs of easing, posing threats not only to global security but also significantly impacting resource allocation and industrial layout. Against this macro backdrop, industrial relocation and supply chain restructuring have become critical topics that we must closely monitor. At the industrial level, the trend of protectionism in mineral resources is on the rise, directly affecting the stability of global copper concentrate TCs. With the rapid expansion of global smelting capacity, the profit margins of copper smelters are further compressed, and the challenges faced by the industry are becoming increasingly severe. In the field of secondary copper raw materials, the advancement of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and the “Dual Carbon” goals have significantly increased market attention on secondary copper. However, the “Reverse Invoice” policy implemented in 2024 and the “Fair Competition Regulations” have had a profound impact on the secondary copper industry. Looking ahead to 2025, the changes in the landscape of the secondary copper industry will have a critical impact on the entire copper industry chain. Additionally, with the cancellation of tax subsidies and other incentive measures, the space for copper cathode trade is expected to further narrow. We predict that the procurement ratio of copper processed materials between traders and smelters will show a more pronounced differentiation.
In this context, the “CCIE 2025 SMM (20th) Copper Industry Conference and Copper Industry Expo,” meticulously prepared by SMM, will be grandly held in Nanchang, Jiangxi, from April 22-25, 2025. China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. will make a splendid appearance at this conference. We will synchronize with the times, aim at our goals, strive diligently, and move forward with courage and determination! Click the registration form to sign up immediately, and we look forward to meeting you at the conference.
China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd., as a national-level innovative high-tech enterprise focusing on comprehensive equipment technology R&D, design, and engineering general contracting for industries such as steel metallurgy and heavy machinery, is committed to serving major national strategies, meeting significant national demands, overcoming “bottleneck technologies” and “short-board equipment,” and promoting the “intelligent, high-end, and green” development of China’s heavy equipment. We provide solutions mainly based on the technology R&D and engineering general contracting of “smelting, rolling, forging/extrusion, and environmental protection equipment.” Our mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and basic component professional support is comprehensive, and we also offer professional technical services such as engineering consulting, engineering supervision, design consulting, and equipment detection.
Sub-introduction 1: Cold Rolling Tube Equipment
Since the successful development of China’s first cold rolling tube machine in the early 1960s, China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute has continuously explored the field of cold rolling tube technology for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials, becoming the birthplace and R&D center of cold rolling tube machine technology in China. We have provided over a hundred sets of high-performance equipment to leading domestic non-ferrous production enterprises, covering specifications from φ3mm to 730mm, leading the development direction of cold rolling tube machines in China.
Sub-introduction 2: Copper Strip Rolling Equipment
China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute is the earliest unit in China to develop and provide complete sets of metal strip rolling production process technology and equipment, and has been a complete supplier of copper strip rolling equipment for over 40 years. Our high-end precision copper plate and strip cold rolling mills achieve full coverage of specifications from 400mm to 1250mm and full coverage of models including four-roll rough, medium, and finish rolling, and six-roll medium and finish rolling. The core process technology indicators such as plate thickness, plate shape, surface quality, and production efficiency have reached world-class levels.
Sub-introduction 3: Extrusion Equipment
China National Heavy Machinery Research Institute is the earliest unit in China to conduct research on metal extrusion technology and equipment, relying on the National Key Laboratory of Metal Forming Technology and Heavy Equipment and the National Innovation Capability Platform for Metal Extrusion/Forging Equipment and Processes. In the field of metal material extrusion technology, we have won nearly 20 provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards and have delivered nearly 30 sets of copper and copper alloy extrusion units ranging from 5MN to 40MN, covering various models such as forward, reverse, single-action, and double-action, earning widespread recognition.
