Thank you all for your care and support of Donghai Special Steel over the years!

Hebei Donghai Special Steel Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 2009. Through the tireless efforts of its dedicated workforce, it has grown into a modern integrated steel enterprise encompassing ore mining, iron and steel metallurgy, and rolled‑product manufacturing.

We uphold the principle of “remembering the source when drinking water.” The growth of Donghai Special Steel has been made possible by the strong support of Party committees and governments at all levels, as well as by all sectors of society. In return, we are committed to repaying the community with even better performance and more sincere service.

For a long time, China’s steel industry has followed a development path that relies on upgrading equipment and processes to achieve both product‑structure upgrades and scale expansion. In 2014, the General Secretary put forward the major strategic judgment of the “new normal,” which profoundly revealed the new characteristics of China’s economic development stage. Under the “new normal” of the Chinese economy, the steel sector has gradually transitioned from a phase of rapid growth to one of slower, more stable development, entering a “winter” marked by overcapacity, sluggish market conditions, and excessively high costs, with enterprises broadly confronting severe challenges.

Opportunities and challenges coexist. Only by fully leveraging its own strengths, closely monitoring both international and domestic markets, strengthening its internal capabilities, enhancing its corporate image, and committing to ensuring safety, maintaining a clean environment, optimizing its structure, building its brand, and fostering a distinctive corporate culture can Donghai Special Steel forge its core competitive edge—and, in this daunting environment, advance steadily and weather this round of “winter.”

Donghai Special Steel leverages three key advantages: resource endowment, technological and human‑resource expertise, and geographic location. The company is situated within the Sijiaying Iron Ore Mine, one of Asia’s largest deposits, and is adjacent to the Kailuan Coal Mine. Moreover, it has established stable cooperative relationships with major iron‑ore‑producing countries such as Brazil and Australia, giving it a unique resource advantage. Located in Tangshan, a major industrial hub in North China, the company enjoys close proximity to Beijing, a center of science and culture, and Tianjin, a northern economic powerhouse. It also neighbors two leading steel complexes—Shougang and HBIS Group—providing it with significant advantages in technical support and talent acquisition. Strategically positioned at a transportation nexus in the “Three North” region, the company is near the major northern ports of Tianjin, Caofeidian, and Jingtang, ensuring convenient access by sea, land, and air. This favorable geographic location confers distinct advantages in workforce mobility, raw‑material supply, and product logistics.

Since its establishment, Donghai Special Steel has consistently regarded workplace safety as the cornerstone of the company’s survival and development. Adhering to the safety production policy of “people-oriented, safety first, prevention-based, and comprehensive management,” the company rigorously complies with the requirements of the new Work Safety Law, effectively manages every aspect of its safety management system, and conducts safety production management in strict accordance with laws and regulations. The company diligently implements relevant safety laws and regulations, strengthens safety awareness across all levels of the organization, establishes and improves a robust array of safety protection measures, intensifies on-site supervision and oversight, deepens hazard identification and remediation, and promotes safety production management in a systematic, standardized, and institutionalized manner. We have successfully obtained certification under the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

“Beautiful China, Green Special Steel” is our enduring goal. Donghai Special Steel places great emphasis on environmental protection, strictly adheres to the Environmental Protection Law, and conducts its environmental management in full compliance with the law, thereby making its due contribution to building an ecological civilization. While significantly increasing investment in environmental protection facilities, the company has established an effective system for controlling pollutant emissions and a comprehensive recycling framework for waste gases, wastewater, and solid waste. It has also fully implemented 7S site management and clean production practices, and devoted substantial effort to greening, paving, beautifying, and illuminating the plant area, striving to create a green Donghai Special Steel. The company has obtained ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management system; all pollutant discharges now meet national standards and are steadily being upgraded to international levels. We have built a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment center: industrially treated water, processed using advanced technologies, is not only entirely recycled—achieving zero discharge—but is also safe for direct consumption. Solid waste is comprehensively managed and recycled. With a green coverage rate of 38.8% across the plant grounds and 100% of remaining surfaces paved, we have successfully met the environmental requirement of “green or paved.”

Under the new normal of the steel industry, achieving transformation and upgrading has become another strategic priority for Donghai Special Steel. We are actively promoting industrial restructuring, striving to extend our downstream value chain by producing cold‑rolled sheet, color‑coated sheet, tinplate, and other products, thereby refining our product mix and enhancing our competitive edge. At the same time, we are expanding our industrial footprint into the tertiary sector.

Quality is the lifeblood of an enterprise. To survive and remain profitable, companies must adhere to the principle of “quality first, customer foremost,” delivering products and services that fully satisfy customers—only then can they maintain a competitive edge. Accordingly, building the Donghai Special Steel brand and continuously improving our quality management system are top priorities in our operations. The company has obtained ISO 9001 certification for its international quality management system, rigorously controlling every stage—from the production source to the point of shipment—to ensure zero defects in our products.

Corporate culture will undoubtedly become a decisive factor in determining the success or failure of enterprises in future industry competition. Therefore, cultivating a distinctive corporate culture is a long-term goal we remain committed to. At present, our efforts to build a strong corporate culture have already begun to yield results. Moving forward, we will implement a Corporate Identity System (CIS), systematically advancing our cultural development across three dimensions—Visual Identity (VI), Behavioral Identity (BI), and Mindset Identity (MI). Our vision is to become an enterprise that earns society’s respect, wields influence within our industry, and inspires pride among our employees.

“Growing with society and giving back to it” is the guiding principle of Donghai Special Steel. The company has consistently and sincerely fulfilled its social responsibilities, enthusiastically contributing to the community and supporting public welfare initiatives. Over the years, we have donated to charitable organizations to alleviate poverty and assist those in need; provided financial aid and relief supplies to earthquake‑stricken areas to help affected communities overcome hardship; and funded the construction of public facilities and educational scholarships to support local community development and the advancement of education.

Looking back is to better move forward into the future. For China’s steel industry, the outlook ahead will grow increasingly challenging. We will earnestly implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and the important speeches of the General Secretary, comprehensively deepen reform, accelerate strategic transformation, focus on structural adjustment, vigorously advance the construction of safety and environmental protection systems, govern enterprises in accordance with the law, and foster a circular economy.

Looking ahead, Donghai Special Steel will, amid the favorable opportunities presented by the coordinated development of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, fully leverage the “Internet Plus” sales platform proposed by the Premier, adhere to the Belt and Road Initiative’s principles of joint consultation, shared benefits, and collaborative development, and actively expand and consolidate its presence in international markets such as Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa, forging new, more equitable and balanced strategic partnerships. Furthermore, the company will strive to achieve intelligent manufacturing and advance toward its strategic goal of realizing Industry 4.0.
