    CCTV News (Reporter Chu Dekun reports from Shenyang): In the development history of China machinery industry, there are two enterprise names such as Lei Guaner: Shenyang Heavy Industry Group Corporation and Shenyang Mining Group Corporation. As the "mother machine" of China’s heavy machinery industry, it was once a symbolic enterprise of China’s machinery industry towards industrialization and a business card of Shenyang. In history, Shenyang, an old industrial base, has been famous for its many glories created by Shenzhong and Shenkuang. 


    On the morning of December 16th, looking back on the five-year revitalization? The interview group of the network media in the northeast came to Tiexi District, Shenyang, and visited and interviewed northern heavy industries Group Co., Ltd., which was revitalized after the reorganization of Shenzhong and Shenkuang.

    If it is said that entering the top 500 machinery companies in China and the top 500 machinery companies in the world is the embodiment of the comprehensive strength of enterprises, then having the manufacturing capacity of shield machines shows that northern heavy industries Group Company has already possessed the core elements of a world-class enterprise, and changed its past products. Big black and rough "image, realize gorgeous turn to become a" high-precision "product manufacturer of major equipment.

    Shield machine is known as the most advanced large underground boring machine in the world, and it is a representative of national industrial level. When it comes to northern heavy industries, we can’t help but pay great attention to its core product shield machine. The independent research and development of shield machine is the highlight of major innovation of northern heavy industries Group. With the goal of building the world’s largest shield machine manufacturing base, northern heavy industries Group Company has made a series of optimization and integration on the existing resources of shield machines, forming a strong technological innovation capability.

    The workers in the factory told the reporter such an example. On December 8th, the old factory of northern heavy industries Group reloaded the workshop, and the workers were actively assembling two hard rock roadheader machines with a diameter of 5.94m and two EPB shield machines with a diameter of 6.28m for Wuhan Metro. Adapting to the old factory is the reloading workshop of the new factory in northern heavy industries, which is located in Shenxi Industrial Corridor. Workers are debugging three shield machines for Shenzhen Metro and Shenyang Metro, ready for acceptance. It is very rare for an enterprise to assemble seven shield machines at the same time in China and even in the world.

    At present, the financial crisis that originated in the United States will inevitably have a certain impact on northern heavy industries Group, which provides equipment for major projects such as mining, metallurgy, electric power and mining. According to preliminary statistics, the suspension of construction contracts has reached 1.9 billion. However, the decision-makers in northern heavy industries clearly realized and seized the business opportunities contained in the crisis. They took precautions and put forward that they should make full use of their own advantages in the crisis, create new business opportunities, open up new markets and turn the crisis into an opportunity for development.

    At present, northern heavy industries Group not only designs and produces all three types of shield machines in the world, but also produces the largest diameter shield machine in the world. At present, the company has received a total of 37 orders for shield machines, with a total contract amount exceeding 3 billion yuan. Shield machine not only greatly enhances the corporate image of northern heavy industries, but also becomes the most important tool for enterprises to cope with the world financial crisis.
