Zhong Ping Energy Chemical Group (ZPECG) consists of former Pingdingshan Coal Group and Shenma Group, both of which were on the list of top 500 enterprises in China. ZPECG after the consolidation is a super-scale energy and chemical enterprise with trans-regional, trans-industry, transownership and transnational operations.
At the invitation of SGL Group, Chairman Chen Jiansheng of ZPECG visited SGL Group in Germany between the 18th December and the 20th December in 2009. The chief executives of both sides discussed technical research & development and project cooperation, and exchanged views on concrete issues of SGL’s participation in purchasing shares of Kaifeng Carbon Co., Ltd. (KFCC). Chen Wenlai, Ceneral Manager of KFCC, joined the visit.
At first, Chen Jiansheng and his delegation visited SGL Group in Munich, accompanied by Mr. Koehler, CEO of SGL Group. They visited state-of-the-art production lines of ultra high power graphite electrodes and nipples, advanced technical research and development center and exhibition hall of SGL’s updated graphite electrode products. During the visit, Mr. Koehler gave Mr. Chen’s delegation a brief introduction of SGL Group and expressed his expectation on long term cooperation with ZPECG.
In the Global Graphite Electrode Forum Center, both parties discussed their cooperation in Kaifeng Carbon project. At the meeting, both sides reviewed progress of JV preparation in the past six months, analyzed the basis and advantages of their cooperation, and appreciated what has been achieved on the preliminary work and exchanged views on some existing issues of the partnership.
Chairman Chen said that he sincerely appreciated the hospitality of SGL Group and hoped that Mr. Koehler would visit China and ZPECG at his convenience in the future. He also said that, SGL Group was the largest graphite electrode manufacturer with a hundred year history and was authoritative in product research, development and product standardization, while KFCC of ZPECG was a promising large stated-owned enterprise which was working hard on approaching and practicing international development. Since the meeting at Shanghai in July this year, both sides had carried out specific preliminary work and achieved some progress. We might have different understanding about certain aspects and may disagreed on some details, but these different views just show that management of both sides paid high attention to the project with earnest and respectful attitude. I believe that through mutual effort, there will be more agreement and opportunities and less disagreement in partnership. We have firm confidence in our future cooperation.
