Cotecna Attends China Chromium-Nickel and Stainless-Steel Industry Chain Conference 2024
The China Chromium-Nickel and Stainless-Steel Industry Chain Conference 2024 was held from 20th to 21st August in Tianjin. This event brought together a diverse assembly of representatives from government departments, industry associations, and leading companies, engaging in dialogues regarding supply and demand, green transformation, investment environment, and evolving market trends of the chromium-nickel industry.
Wenjiang LI, Vice President for Cotecna North Asia, was invited to deliver a speech at the conference, focusing on economic environment, industry developments, values of the TIC industry, and Cotecna’s solutions.
Below is a recap of the highlights of the speech:
In the first half of 2024, China’s economy continued its positive trajectory, acting as an engine and stabiliser in the global economy, bringing new market demands and opportunities to the chromium-nickel industry. China’s chromium-nickel market exhibited strong growth momentum during this period, with both production and import volumes increasing significantly, achieving double-digit growth rates. Tianjin Port has been instrumental in driving the chromium-nickel imports.
The role played by the Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) industry in ensuring product quality and safety is indispensable. TIC organisations provide professional technical assessment, strict quality control and efficient market access services to the chromium-nickel industry. This contributes to the sustainable development and enduring prosperity of the industry.
Recognised as a world-leading TIC company in the commodities sector especially in Metals & Minerals, Cotecna has established an extensive and sophisticated global service network in the chromium-nickel trade ecosystem. At the same time, Cotecna continues to invest in new facilities and leverages the latest technologies for innovative platforms, which allows us to stay ahead of market trends and meet the evolving needs of industry transformation.
