3300 Tonnes! Taiyuan Heavy Industries Sets a New Record for Large Castings
July 28,2026
After two years, the Taiyuan Heavy Industry casters and forgers have achieved it! In the just-concluded month of June, the monthly production of large castings at Taiyuan Heavy Industry's Foundry and Forging Branch Company has reached a new milestone of 3,300 tons, which is not only a numerical update but also a qualitative leap in capability—a 70% increase over historical records! What was once "unthinkable" has now been achieved ton by ton!
The significance of this breakthrough goes far beyond the production volume itself. It signifies that the company's mass delivery capability for large castings has reached a new level, adding more certainty to the ability to fulfill high-end product orders. What customers receive is not just a casting, but a reliable partner that dares to promise and can deliver under extreme conditions.
"Two years ago, our production was only 1,900 tons, and now it has reached 3,300 tons. I myself find it hard to believe, but we have indeed achieved it!" Hao Baoming from the branch's cleaning and scraping work area reflects, the team's hard work, unknown to many, has ultimately been proven by the numbers.
Outside the window, the seasons change, but in the workshop of the Foundry and Forging Branch Company, there is no distinction between cold and heat; it is always high temperature, with the furnace fires never extinguished and the assault on challenges never ceasing. From optimizing the design at the source to streamline processes, to technical field presence, advance planning, regular meetings to clear obstacles, and then to the full dynamic closed-loop of simulation audits, there are no earth-shattering feats, only these seemingly insignificant daily tasks that this group of people take seriously: proactively "give it a try," putting the unthinkable on the table; proactively "find a way," untangling the bottlenecks one by one; proactively "rush forward," treating every day as a must-win day.
Carrying the company's expectations, since the beginning of this year, the Foundry and Forging Branch Company has been frequently delivering good news. In the first half of the year, it successfully completed the mass delivery of hydropower, nuclear power, press, and rolling mill castings for domestic and international customers, successfully opening up the supply channel to high-end customers. With the market opened, keeping up with production capacity is one aspect, and the branch has also precisely targeted the "current industry where most foundries only have the capability for rough casting" as a shortcoming, deeply excavating user procurement pain points, achieving the finished delivery of large castings with "casting + precision machining," allowing the castings to leave the factory as finished products, and for users to receive and use them immediately, upgrading the competitive advantage from "production capacity" to "delivery capability."
For those who forge iron, the soul is as strong as iron. 3,300 tons is, for Taiyuan Heavy Industry's casters and forgers, a new beginning...
