On December 6, the “Chain Integration and Win-win Future” China Baowu 2024 New Low-carbon Metallurgy Modern Industry Chain Action – China Baowu Industrial Products Supply Chain Ecological Partner Conference was grandly held at the Golden Furnace Platform and China Baowu Steel Expo Center in Baoshan District, Shanghai. The conference aims to gather industry elites to jointly discuss the development path of low-carbon metallurgy and promote modern industry chain actions. Mr. Wang Hui, President of SKF China and Northeast Asia, and Mr. Teng Zhengji, Vice President of China, attended with their team and witnessed this industry event together.
SKF wins the Excellence Award again, and its strength creates an industry monument
At the conference, SKF’s metallurgical team won the Outstanding Contribution Award for Excellent Supply Chain Partner for the fourth time for its outstanding performance and contribution in the field of metallurgy. This is a high recognition of its continuous contribution in the field of low-carbon metallurgy.
By providing high-quality bearing products and innovative solutions, SKF helps Baowu Group achieve its low-carbon metallurgical goals, injects strong power into the stable operation of Baowu steel production equipment, significantly reduces equipment failure rates and maintenance costs, and improves production efficiency. From stable equipment support to quality control and cost optimization, it meets Baowu’s strict standards in all aspects, demonstrating the strength and responsibility of the industry leader.
Innovative products were unveiled with impressive low-carbon and energy-saving results
At this conference, SKF also shared its technologically innovative product-SKF RecondOil Box. Through dual separation technology (DST), this product can remove small to nanometer-sized pollutant particles in the oil, continuously maintain the clean state of the hydraulic oil, thereby extending the oil replacement cycle, which can reduce the comprehensive carbon cost of lubrication to 96%, with Significant energy saving and carbon reduction effects.
In 2024, Baowu’s two production bases used SKF Recondoil Box, which effectively improved the cleanliness of hydraulic oil, reduced the frequency of hydraulic oil replacement, and saved considerable comprehensive oil usage costs. The sharing of this typical case further demonstrates SKF’s innovation capabilities and practical results in the field of low-carbon metallurgy.
Procurement and sales linkage, work together to create an industrial vision
SKF and Baowu Group have a long history of strategic cooperation. Since 2005, the two sides have cooperated in procurement and sales in sustainable development, jointly built a low-carbon green digital procurement platform, and deepened decarbonization and net zero.
At the end of November, Wu Kunzong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Baowu Zhongnan Steel, and Zhou Ming, President of Ouye Industrial Products, visited SKF Global Technology Center China (GTCC) to discuss cooperation on bearing steel. The two sides have linked procurement and sales, consolidating their strategic cooperation relationship as suppliers.
This time, SKF won the Outstanding Contribution Award of Baowu Group’s Excellent Supply Chain Partner again, which is not only a recognition of the past achievements of SKF’s metallurgical team, but also an expectation for further cooperation in the future.
In the future, SKF will uphold the spirit of innovation, focus on the forefront of bearing technology, deepen low-carbon research and development, optimize product performance and environmental protection characteristics, and work with Baowu and industry partners to build an innovative ecosystem. It will take the lead in the rise of the global low-carbon metallurgical industry, promote the steady progress of the steel industry in the green, efficient and intelligent waterway, and write a brilliant future for the industry with innovation-driven and win-win cooperation.
