Strengthen Independent Innovation and Develop High-End Manufacturing

On September 17, 2019, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group for an inspection and research tour. While fully commending the enterprise’s reform and development, General Secretary Xi expressed new hopes and made important instructions for the future of manufacturing: manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy; the real economy is the very capital of China’s development and a crucial pillar for building strategic advantages in future development. We must steadfastly advance industrial transformation and upgrading, strengthen independent innovation, develop high-end and intelligent manufacturing, elevate China’s manufacturing sector and the real economy, shift China’s economy from sheer quantity to robust quality, and solidly achieve the Two Centenary Goals.
General Secretary Xi Jinping’s every word has also been deeply imprinted in the hearts of ASIMCO employees. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery Group, ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. is greatly encouraged. The company has actively promoted the spirit of General Secretary Xi’s important speech to all employees through Enterprise WeChat, bulletin boards, the “Study in China” platform, Zhengzhou Coal Mining Machinery newspapers and periodicals, and Party building publicity, upholding the values of teamwork, customer orientation, pursuit of excellence, respect, and responsibility, inspiring employees to pioneer and innovate, strive for perfection, enhance their skills and qualities, and promote the high-quality development of the enterprise.
On October 14, the company’s Party branch convened a thematic Party meeting on “Staying True to Our Original Aspiration and Keeping Our Mission Firmly in Mind,” at which it urged all Party members and cadres to regard the study and implementation of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech as their top political task. They were directed to align their thinking and actions with the spirit of the speech, stay firmly on course, shoulder their responsibilities with resolve, strengthen their convictions, and work diligently and assiduously. All levels and departments within the company are required to enhance their “four consciousnesses,” uphold the “four confidences,” and ensure “two safeguards,” so as to truly make the spirit of President Xi’s important speech the overarching guiding principle and central thread running through all our work. We must study with faith, study with a sense of responsibility, and study with genuine emotion, thereby transforming President Xi’s care into an unwavering political conviction of absolute loyalty to the Party—staying true to our original aspiration and forging ahead with determination.
General Secretary Xi Jinping: Firmly uphold confidence in developing high-end manufacturing.
ASIMCO Camshaft has over 20 years of experience in Camshaft development, with extensive research and expertise in the R&D, manufacturing, and application of Camshafts made from chilled alloy cast iron, chilled nodular cast iron, high-strength nodular cast iron, and steel materials. ASIMCO Camshaft also possesses the technology and capability to machine complex cam profiles. In response to China VI emission standards, our company will focus on the R&D of modular Camshafts in the future, gradually replacing traditional casting methods. This shift will leverage advantages such as reduced process steps, flexible production, lower costs, automation, and superior operational performance, thereby paving the way for the future development of Camshafts.
General Secretary Xi Jinping: Use innovation to lead the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector.
Through technological and industrial innovation, the company has continuously advanced along the value chain from the mid-range to the high-end. Adhering to the principle of consistently creating value for customers, the company has developed high-end and intelligent manufacturing. Since 2014, it has successively introduced three gantry robots, which are perfectly suited for processes ranging from end-face milling to marking. Following the implementation of the VIKING fully automated production line, the company began planning in 2019 to deploy a 6D fully automated production line, aiming to reduce labor and administrative costs, upgrade its technological capabilities, and enhance production efficiency.
General Secretary Xi Jinping: “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”
The company places paramount importance on safety and environmental protection, closely following General Secretary Xi Jinping’s call to advance ecological civilization. It implements the strictest safety supervision and environmental protection measures to ensure that all emissions comply with national standards. In 2019, the company upgraded its production processes by recycling waste oil from machine tools into cutting fluid, turning waste into a valuable resource for reuse, thereby reducing emissions. Additionally, dust-collection systems were installed at the furnace front and in the melting area of the foundry workshop, significantly lowering dust levels, improving the working environment, and safeguarding employees’ health. At the same time, the company has consistently promoted the principle that “no penalty is too severe for violations related to safety and environmental protection,” aiming to strengthen employees’ sense of responsibility for safety and environmental protection at the ideological level and ensuring that such awareness is consciously integrated into their daily work.
Recently, the company’s management has formulated a new strategic plan in light of the current market situation and the company’s actual conditions. The plan aims to double sales revenue by 2024 and become the preferred supplier in the global engine Camshaft field. By promoting industrial transformation and upgrading and high-quality economic development, the company will create a new driving force, accelerate the deep integration of automation and manufacturing, strengthen cooperation and exchanges, learn from each other, and make unremitting efforts to achieve the Two Centenary Goals and realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
