Shanxi Coking Coal Group teams up with Taigang
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-31 11:27 The Shanxi Coal-Steel Energy Development Company recently began operation in Taiyuan, capital city of northern China's Shanxi province, a senior official with the Shanxi Coking Coal Group confirmed Saturday. The move is believed to be a significant measure for the province, which is located on China's major coal belt, to cope with the global economic downturn through deepening cooperation between coal and steel industries.
The new energy company will engage in coal mining, dressing and marketing. It will ensure coal supplies for Taigang Group and share profits from coal mining with the steelmaker, Bai said. As China's largest coking firm, the Shanxi Coking Coal Group turns out 10 percent of the country's total product and supplies more than 20 percent of such materials needed by 18 big steelmakers nationwide. Taigang Group is a world leading stainless steel manufacturer in terms of production capacity and technologies. Industry observers said the establishment of the new company would be conducive to sharpening competitive edge of both coal and steel producers. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
