Brake Committee of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers Honorary Secretary-General Gu Yifan Nie Rongyi, deputy mayor of Zaoyang Municipal Government, gave a special promotion of Zaoyang friction material industry. Deputy Mayor Nie introduced that Zaoyang's automotive friction material industry has been selected as the "Key Growth Industrial Cluster of Hubei Province" for five consecutive years. It has more than 100 friction material production and upstream and downstream industrial chain companies, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons and an output value of 50 billion, it is the second largest friction material production base in the country and is striving to build a friction material industry cluster worth hundreds of billions. Zaoyang City will move forward hand in hand with entrepreneurial friends with the greatest enthusiasm, the best policies, and the best services to share new opportunities for innovation and development and create a new future of win-win open cooperation. Deputy Mayor of Zaoyang Municipal Government Nie Rongyi The conference was chaired by Lei Jianbin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Northwest Operations Center of China National Testing and Testing Holdings Group. Secretary Lei Jianbin pointed out that the friction material industry has entered a critical period of transformation and upgrading and high-quality development under the new development pattern. How to cultivate new growth poles in the friction materials industry, accelerate the formation of new productive forces, strengthen collaboration chains, expand supply chains, and enhance value chains are major issues and urgent tasks before us. With the theme of "Industrial Upgrading through Scientific and Technological Innovation", this conference was chosen to be held in Zaoyang City, Hubei Province, a friction material industry cluster, because this is where we have developed the most after the bankruptcy and restructuring of 18 asbestos products factories and state-owned enterprises in the era of planned economy. In the vast city, many front-line workers of the original Hubei Asbestos Products Factory were self-reliant and self-employed. They used money to set up enterprises, build factories, engage in production, and run the market, which embodies the spirit of Guangwu craftsmen and creation in the imperial hometown. At present, 41 companies have obtained CCC certification for automotive brake linings, initially forming an industrial cluster for friction material products, which has contributed to the economic development of Zaoyang City and the improvement of people's living standards.
