A team led by Tian Guixiang, president of China Metallurgical Construction Engineering Group Co – a large Fortune 500 construction enterprise under China Metallurgical Group Corporation – visited Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ) on June 7.
A consensus was reached by the zone and the company that the two sides will continue deepening cooperation and work together to build a 100-billion-yuan ($14.94 billion) high-end construction industrial cluster.
China Metallurgical Construction Engineering Group Co mainly deals with large and medium-sized industrial and civil engineering construction projects at home and abroad.
The two sides enjoy a solid partnership, with the company undertaking construction projects such as the Auto Valley Capital Island and world-class urban power grid.
The company is currently planning to establish its Central China headquarters in WEDZ relying on the existing leadership of its Wuhan branch. The headquarters will be responsible for operations in Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces.
Liu Ziqing, secretary of the zone's working committee, highlighted the zone's commitment to becoming a support center for Wuhan, as well as the broad development prospects of the firm, which will create more opportunities for collaboration. Liu also welcomed the firm to establish headquarters in the zone.
