Along the banks of the Yellow River, Binzhou in Shandong Province is witnessing a surge in industrial development. In the smart workshops of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, robotic arms move with precision and agility; at the command center of Chambroad Holdings, data from pipelines spanning thousands of miles updates in real time; at the port terminals, high-end aluminum products and fine chemical goods are continuously loaded onto vessels, setting sail for global markets.

This industrial hub boasts 37 out of the country's 41 industrial categories, forming six trillion-yuan-level industrial clusters, including high-end aluminum, fine chemicals, and smart textiles. A total of 82 products rank among the top in China or hold leading global market shares. Binzhou has been listed among China's Top 100 Advanced Manufacturing Cities for four consecutive years.

In 2025, the industrial enterprises above designated size in Binzhou achieved operating revenue exceeding RMB 1.06 trillion, crossing the trillion threshold for the second consecutive year. Total profits reached RMB 77.73 billion, with a profit margin of 7.3%, both ranking first in Shandong Province. Value-added industrial output above designated size accounted for 38.9% of the city's GDP growth, cementing industry as a key pillar of economic development.

Binzhou's transformation has been driven by extending technological upgrading from individual enterprises to entire industrial chains. From 2023 to 2025, three clusters, i.e., lightweight aluminum new materials, intelligent textiles, and functional nutritional products, were successively selected as provincial-level advanced manufacturing clusters. The proportion of R&D investment in GDP has remained the highest in Shandong for five consecutive years. Six national-level excellent smart factories, 32 provincial-level advanced smart factories, and 66 green factories above the provincial level have taken root here, turning intelligent manufacturing and green transformation from blueprints into reality.

From an industrial city to an intelligent manufacturing powerhouse, Binzhou is steadily advancing on the path of new industrialization with practical actions, writing a new chapter of high-quality development.

Since the launch of the "Revitalization of Weiqiao Town" initiative in February 2025, Zouping City and Weiqiao Pioneering Group have worked hand in hand to drive the town's development. From January to May 2026, the town's gross industrial output value of industrial enterprises above the designated size grew by 6.97% year-on-year, while fixed-asset investment surged by 168.23%; total tax revenue and local-level fiscal revenue increased by 76.32% and 58.69%.

Leveraging the industrial chain resources and investment network of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, Weiqiao Town has attracted 28 industrial projects, of which 12 are now operational.

As the core engine of Zouping City's industrial economy, Weiqiao Pioneering Group adheres to the government-enterprise collaboration concept of "joint planning, shared industrial growth, and shared responsibility for public well-being." The Group has proactively opened up its upstream and downstream industrial chain, with 13 of the introduced projects serving as supporting facilities within its ecosystem. It has also reserved 300,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum production capacity to provide key support for extending, supplementing, and strengthening Weiqiao Town's aluminum industry chain.

Thirty years ago, the enterprise led the town to share the benefits of industrialization; thirty years later, its aspiration to repay the hometown remains unchanged. Through its Shiping Public Welfare Foundation, the Group has donated a total of RMB 186 million over the past two years to improve education, medical care, transportation, and other infrastructure, enhancing the people's sense of gain and happiness.

Together, Weiqiao Pioneering Group and Weiqiao Town are forging a revitalization path characterized by industrial prosperity, improved livelihoods, and rural beauty. Their partnership stands as a vivid example of the deep bond between an enterprise and its hometown, and of how mutual support can drive shared prosperity.
