Quzhou in Zhejiang province invited 20 leading foreign trade companies based in the province on Thursday to visit the city's new materials production facilities, in an effort to demonstrate the city's development and seek cooperation.

The trip was organized by the Zhejiang Council for the Promotion of International Trade, aiming to build a bridge between businesses specialized in new materials in Quzhou and leading companies outside the city.

According to the organizer, Quzhou is home to a national electronic chemical materials base, a national fluorine silicon new material demonstration base, and China's top-grade special paper industry base. It boasts a complete industrial chain of new materials ranging from electronic chemistry and lithium battery to special paper.

The delegation of foreign firms visited companies in Quzhou's Smart Manufacturing City, including Huayou Cobalt New Material and DAS SOLAR. After they learned that Huayou is forging a global industrial chain in new energy, and has entered into partnerships with top auto makers such as Volkswagen, Renault, Ford, and Volvo, visiting companies expressed interest in cooperation with Huayou.

Wang Yi, general manager of Zhejiang Hongdun Machinery Co., Ltd., said the trip to DAS SOLAR left him with a deep impression of high level of automation in its factory.

"I hope there will be more exchanges with Quzhou's companies, and more opportunities to develop industrial chains together," he said. 

Liu Genhong, director of the Administration Committee of Quzhou Smart Manufacturing City, said the city is one of the major industrial platforms in Zhejiang province, and he hopes the trip will be a good opportunity for both parties to deepen understanding of each other and buckle down to searching for paths to high-quality development.

In recent years the Quzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade has held a series of events, such as "2019 China-Africa International Trade Investment Promotional Meeting," "2020 Quzhou International Trade High Quality Development Forum on Dual Circulation of New Development Paradigm," as well as "2021 Quzhou International Trade Investment Promotional Meeting (South Korea)," and organized local enterprises to participate in overseas exhibitions, in order to increase the profile of the city. 

"I hope more companies will come to Quzhou to learn about the city, invest in the city, and help build the city, joining the efforts to push for the new material industrial chain in Quzhou and prompt Zhejiang enterprises to move toward the new development paradigm," said Zheng Lin, director of the Quzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
