1, a good government policy support environment

The government of Botou listed the foundry industry as a characteristic pillar industry, and the foundry industry has formed a culture in Botou, which is a household name. The foundry industry has been rated as one of the top ten business cards in Botou. Over the years, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have regarded the development and expansion of the foundry industry as the main force supporting the rapid economic development of Botou county, and regarded the promotion of the foundry industry as a major event and an important agenda. Any county, city or region can have no foundry enterprise or foundry industry, and Botou can't. Without the development of foundry industry, there would be no development of Botou, and Botou could not do without casting. In recent years, the municipal government has issued a policy to support the upgrading of foundry industry, and given financial support and preferential policies in supporting the superior and strengthening, equipment transformation, technological innovation, management innovation and brand strategy.

2. High-quality casting technicians have cultivated the casting industry.

As the hometown of casting, Botou has no resources such as pig iron, coke, raw and auxiliary materials, but there are 50,000 casting technicians in Botou City, which has cultivated the casting industry of Botou, and all large and medium-sized casting enterprises in China can find Botou casting technicians. At present, there are more than 10,000 casting technicians. Foundry enterprises with foreign investment settle in Botou, so it is easy to recruit casting technicians, and they can take up their posts if they are familiar with the products in a short time. Take Liang Jing Power Equipment Company as an example. Only a few managers are based in Beijing, and other production workers are recruited in Botou, and they are directly employed without training. Due to the high overall level of skilled workers, the product quality is guaranteed, the product qualification rate is improved and the production cost is further reduced. In recent years, after Beijing Jinglong Pump Industry Co., Ltd., American Jieai (Hebei) Foundry Co., Ltd., Beijing Electric Power Equipment Manufacturing General Factory Foundry Company, Beijing Xinshenglong Foundry Company and Hebei Tianyu Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. settled in Botou, they realized increasing production and increasing efficiency in a short time, and the product quality and benefit of Botou factory were higher than that of the general factory. The person in charge of the enterprise made it clear that the workers in the foundry township are smart and well managed, and it is a wise choice to come to Botou to develop the foundry industry.
