[Social News] Reporter on the Front Line: Striking a “March of Progress” in Golden Autumn, Building the “Fuan” Brand with Solid Strength

       In the golden autumn of October, the harvest is bountiful. On the 12th, a high-speed train carrying Mercedes-Benz sped past the premises of Liaoning Fuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., its rhythmic roar blending with the din of machinery within the plant to compose a “symphony of progress” in the company’s drive for high-quality development. In the first three quarters of this year, the company’s key performance indicators improved by 20% compared with the same period last year, and its order book for the full year is now fully booked.

    Recently, the company has received another piece of good news: the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology recently announced In the 2024 list of Liaoning Province’s Manufacturing Single-Champion Enterprises, Liaoning Fuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. was honored for its “Large Cast Steel Components for Generator Sets” project. According to Yu Guangyu, the company’s Deputy General Manager: “The champion project we submitted this time is cast steel components for power generation, primarily covering both hydropower and thermal power applications. In hydropower, these components include parts for hydroelectric generator units—such as upper crowns, lower rings, and blades—as well as valves, valve bodies, and runner assemblies used in pumped-storage facilities. For thermal power, the key products comprise high- and medium-pressure inner and outer cylinders and valve bodies. Our hydropower offerings are mainly supplied to domestic projects such as the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, Gezhouba Hydropower Station, and Wudongde Hydropower Station, as well as to international clients—including Voith in the United States and Andritz in Europe. In the thermal power segment, we serve major global players like Mitsubishi and Toshiba in Japan, providing high-quality products to customers both at home and abroad to meet the needs of our upstream partners.”

    Liaoning Fuan Heavy Industry is a company engaged in the manufacturing of large cast steel components. A main-board listed company on the A-share market, the firm has been in operation for 20 years and boasts an annual output of over 20,000 tonnes of steel castings. Its products serve high-end markets in energy and power, rail transit, and mining machinery. Its customer base includes Fortune Global 500 companies such as Japan’s Mitsubishi and Toshiba, U.S. firms GE and Westinghouse Brake & Signal, European leaders Voith and Andritz, and domestic giants like Harbin Electric Group and Dongfang Electric Corporation. Several of the company’s products have been awarded the Gold Prize for Quality Castings at the China International Foundry Expo, and its forging-to-casting conversion products represent a domestic first, filling a critical gap in the Chinese market.

    Fuan Heavy Industry has always adhered to Adhering to the business philosophy of “high-end castings and first-class service,” Fuan has built its brand across multiple dimensions—including product R&D, production operations, quality control, and after-sales service. The company is a national-level high-tech enterprise, a national demonstration enterprise for service-oriented manufacturing, a “Little Giant” enterprise, a provincial-level quality benchmark enterprise, and a single-item champion enterprise.

Fuan operates two provincial-level research centers and employs over 170 engineering and technical personnel. In the first half of 2024, the company successfully developed new products such as cobalt- and boron-containing alloys and key technologies for runner components in pumped-storage hydropower stations, and smoothly passed the national qualification review for high-pressure outer casings used in million-kilowatt-class nuclear power plants. This milestone marks Fuan Heavy Industry’s official entry into the nuclear power sector.

    Yu Guangyu is brimming with confidence about the company’s future development. He said: “At present, the company’s general manager is leading all employees in a vigorous push during the fourth quarter to achieve the year-end performance targets. Looking ahead, the company will further advance by focusing on cost control, high-end manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing, thereby paving the way for long-term success and fulfilling our mission to revitalize China’s national industry.”
