Vice President of Gree, Board Secretary Wang Jingdong December 27 evening interview in a telephone interview to clarify that on December 25, the foundation of Handan casting production base in Gree, the amount of investment is only a few hundred million, rather than tens of billions Yuan; Gree will not be able to bring a great deal of new output value.
Today there are media reports that Gree Handan (Wuan) Central Plains intelligent equipment basic parts industrial base planning a total area of 2.25 million mu, designed annual capacity of 10 million tons, the annual output value of 100 billion yuan. Products for the direction of Gree electrical matching castings, new energy vehicles Castings, engineering machinery, nuclear power, military, trains, home appliances, locomotives, special machinery and other industries castings and high-end molds, intelligent robots, 3D printing castings, etc. A core area will build four major projects with a total investment of 10.4 billion yuan, total capacity 980,000 tons.
Wang Jingdong clarified that Gree Electric Appliances held a foundation laying ceremony on December 25 in Handan Casting Production Base and is expected to put into operation by the end of 2018 and will not bring obvious new output value to Gree Appliances next year.
'Gree Electric needs more than 10 million tons of castings a year, originally purchased from the outside because Handan a year's steel production reached 60 million tons, so Gree Electric Appliances in Handan building casting base.' Wang Jingdong said.
Speaking about the reasons for self-built castings base, Wang Jingdong said that on the one hand there is a huge market demand for castings, and there is a demand for such industries as automobiles, household appliances, industrial robots and machine tools; on the other hand, current casting plants are small and scattered, Dyed serious, Gree Electric hope to cut into this area, through the promotion of automated production methods to improve the casting industry lean manufacturing, green manufacturing level.
As Gree itself has a lot of procurement requirements for castings, it will internally offset the output value of Gree Handan Casting Production Base, so Jingjing Dong estimates that Handan Casting Base will not bring much new output value to Gree, Will not bring significant new output value, the future will bring much new output value depends on the progress of the implementation plan.
Hope Jingdong said Gree Handan castings production base, only invested a few hundred million. Handan Central Plains intelligent equipment base parts industry base, not by a Gree to invest, Gree just take the lead in the investment to build factories, play a leading role model Only.
'Handan castings Gree production base, the main production cars, appliances, industrial robots, machine tools required for casting, will not produce molds, it will not produce robots.
As the world's largest air-conditioner manufacturer, Gree has actively promoted diversified businesses in the past two years, and the intelligent equipment industry is one of the important expansion directions. Therefore, the smart equipment business of Gree has also become the focus of some local governments' investment attraction. In September, Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. and Henan Provincial Commission of Industry and Information Technology, Luoyang City Government signed a cooperation framework agreement, intends to attract chain-related enterprises in Luoyang High-tech Zone to jointly build China's Luoyang Independent Innovation Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Base project.
Jingdong told reporters that Luoyang smart manufacturing base project is currently no formal progress.
As for the Gree concerned about the outside world will be involved in the reform of mixed ownership of Luoyang bearing the issue, looking Jingdong said the matter is still in the early stages of preparation.
