In recent years, Wuding County has strengthened the intensive utilization of resources, promoted the extension of green titanium to deep processing and terminal manufacturing, expanded and strengthened the titanium based new materials industry, and focused on creating a new model for the development of titanium industry clusters.

　　Entering the production scheduling and command center of Wudingguo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd., more than 30 monitoring screens are clearly visible, and technical personnel remotely control multiple indicator data. The production line is operating at full capacity, and workers are busy and orderly. The company's general manager Pei Guanglin said, "This high titanium slag production line has an annual production capacity of 80000 tons of high titanium slag and 40000 tons of high-quality pig iron. The high titanium slag produced has the characteristics of high grade and low impurity content, and is mainly used for the production of rotor grade sponge titanium, which is the basic raw material for sponge titanium production
Since its establishment in Wuding in 2019, Wudingguo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. has introduced production technologies and main equipment from South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, and other countries to produce high titanium slag, pig iron, coal gas, titanium concentrate, magnetite products, etc. The products are exported to markets in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, achieving the goal of acquiring and resuming production in the same year and making profits in the same year. Over the past 5 years, the company has continuously improved its production equipment and introduced advanced technology and talents. At present, it has 6 invention patents and more than 40 new utility patents, becoming the leading high titanium slag production enterprise in Yunnan Province. As of September this year, the enterprise has produced a total of 235800 tons of high titanium slag, achieving an output value of 1.687 billion yuan and a profit and tax of 56.84 million yuan.
We will increase our efforts to ensure raw material supply, build a 300000 ton annual titanium concentrate long-term mining area, and carry out deep processing of titanium concentrate. We will construct two 30 megawatt DC closed titanium slag furnaces to achieve an annual output of 300000 tons of titanium concentrate, increase the production capacity of high titanium slag by 160000 tons, increase annual sales revenue by 1.5 billion yuan, achieve profits and taxes of 165 million yuan, and increase employment by 124 people, "said Pei Guanglin with confidence.
Wuding's titanium iron ore resources rank first in the entire state, with reserves of medium to large size. In order to promote the high-quality development of the titanium industry and cultivate specialized, refined, and new enterprises, Wuding County fully leverages the role of Dapingzi Industrial Park as the main carrier and gathering area of titanium ore resources. With the park as the carrier, leading enterprises as the support, and key projects as the support, the supporting industrial chain is improved, and measures such as strengthening policy support, promoting enterprise transformation and upgrading, and cultivating high-quality enterprises are taken to create a group of titanium and new material processing enterprises with strong innovation capabilities, good entrepreneurial environment, and distinctive characteristics, such as Yunnan Nayu Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., and promote industrial clustering and large-scale development. At present, Yunnan Nayu Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. has transformed and upgraded into a high-tech enterprise integrating design and research and development, production and manufacturing, and operation.
Our existing production equipment and technology can not only produce catalytic and rutile universal titanium dioxide, but also customize the production of professional titanium dioxide for high-end customers such as pharmaceuticals, chemical fibers, cosmetics, etc., mainly sold to Zhejiang, Anhui and other countries as well as South Korea. From January to September this year, the company produced and sold 4600 tons of titanium dioxide, with a total output value of 61 million yuan and a tax payment of nearly 3 million yuan, "said Liao Tianxiang, the production plant director of Yunnan Nayu Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.
By continuously strengthening the development of the titanium industry cluster, the demonstration business card of the cluster development of Wuding as the "hometown of titanium warehouses" continues to shine. At present, there are 35 titanium production enterprises in the county, with 7 of them having an output value of over 100 million yuan. This year, there are 13 large-scale titanium enterprises in the county, achieving an output value of 1.875 billion yuan from January to September, accounting for 44.75% of the total industrial output value of the county.
