In 2006, China's general machinery manufacturing industry maintained a high level of operation. According to statistics from 4,074 large-scale enterprises in the sector, from January to November 2006, the total industrial output value reached 204.019 billion yuan, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 26.69%. Among this, the new product output value amounted to 27.058 billion yuan, rising by 28.39%. The accumulated industrial output value was 197.969 billion yuan, up by 27.73%, while the export delivery value hit 36.403 billion yuan, increasing by 44.46%. The industrial added value reached 54.491 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 23.98%. Sales revenue totaled 196.131 billion yuan, an increase of 27.7% compared to the previous year. Additionally, total profits and taxes reached 35.701 billion yuan, showing a year-on-year growth of 23.96%.
The government’s focus on the localization of major equipment, along with a favorable market environment, created excellent development opportunities for general machinery manufacturers, contributing significantly to the advancement of domestic equipment production in China.
One notable breakthrough came in the nuclear power sector, where China Nuclear Sohu Technology Industrial Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research & Design Institute jointly developed key valves for nuclear power plants. These included nuclear-level fast-opening and closing isolation valves, as well as pressure relief and check valves. On March 16, 2006, these products were successfully identified by experts from the China National Nuclear Corporation, marking a major step forward in the localization of critical nuclear components.
In the South-North Water Diversion Project, Wuxi Xixi Pump Manufacturing Co., Ltd. demonstrated its capabilities by winning bids for multiple pumping stations, including Baoying, Liushan, Jietai, Huai'an, and Yanjiaba. With eight pumping stations under construction, the company played a crucial role in the East Route of the project, alongside other manufacturers like Hunan Pump Co., Gaoyou Pump Factory, and Shanghai KSB.
Another significant achievement was the successful development of the WB36 forged steel valve by Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. This valve, used in 1000MW ultra-supercritical thermal power units, marked the company's entry into the ultra-supercritical field and made it the first domestic manufacturer capable of producing all-forged valves.
Hangzhou Oxygen also achieved a milestone by supplying the first set of large-scale air separation equipment for Baosteel. This independently developed system marked a technological leap, placing Hangyang's air separation technology among the world's leading standards.
Shaanxi Drum Group's blast furnace blower localization technology passed expert review, proving that China now has the capability to design and manufacture large blowers with capacities ranging from 4,000 to 5,800 cubic meters.
In the West-East Gas Pipeline Project, Zigong High-Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. delivered the first batch of domestically produced large-diameter all-welded forged steel ball valves, breaking foreign monopolies and meeting international standards.
Wuxi Compressor Co., Ltd. expanded into the large-scale process compressor market by introducing the KR60 series, marking a strategic move into a new competitive area.
Xiangdian Long Pump Co., Ltd. completed the shipment of 6 sets of 88-inch pumps for a 2x100MW power plant, showcasing its ability to handle large-scale projects with precision and quality.
Overall, 2006 was a year of significant progress for China's general machinery industry, driven by innovation, technological breakthroughs, and strong domestic demand.
