On July 20, Mayor Liu of Nanyang City and his delegation paid a field visit to Nanyang Dürr Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. (Dürr Equipment), conducting an in-depth inspection of the company’s production and operations, technological innovation, industrial-chain development, and workplace safety. Leaders from Sheqi County and the company’s executives accompanied the delegation throughout the visit.

At the outset of the inspection, Mayor Liu and his delegation visited the production workshop and listened attentively to a detailed briefing by the company. The presentation covered Du’er Equipment’s development journey, industrial layout, core product portfolio, competitive advantages in the market, research and innovation achievements, and its internationalization strategy. Mayor Liu gained an in-depth understanding of the application scenarios for the company’s flagship equipment, including cryogenic vacuum storage tanks, large‑scale atmospheric LNG storage tanks, marine LNG fuel tanks, and cryogenic tank containers. He expressed full appreciation for the company’s commitment to the high‑end cryogenic storage and transportation sector, its breakthroughs in multiple domestically developed key technologies, its capture of 80% of the province’s capacity for large cryogenic storage tanks, and the global reach of its products, which are now exported to numerous countries along the Belt and Road Initiative.

Subsequently, Mayor Liu conducted an on-site visit to the enterprise’s intelligent manufacturing workshop, closely inspecting the end-to-end production line—from tank forming and welding assembly to finished-product testing—and personally inquiring about key aspects such as the operation of the smart production lines, quality control of specialized equipment, frontline safety management, and the development of a skilled workforce.

Mayor Liu emphasized that high-end equipment manufacturing is a core pillar of Nanyang’s real economy and its new‑energy industrial chain. As a locally‑based, specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative high‑tech enterprise, Duer Equipment serves as a leading benchmark for county‑level manufacturing. The company must continue to ramp up investment in R&D for core technologies, focusing on cutting‑edge areas such as ultra‑large‑capacity storage tanks, marine cryogenic equipment, and liquid‑helium tank containers, thereby strengthening independent innovation and accelerating the domestic substitution of critical technologies. It should seize the opportunities presented by the energy transition and green shipping, expand into domestic markets for energy storage and aerospace support, and tap overseas trade channels, steadily scaling up its operations. At the same time, the company must firmly uphold the red line of workplace safety, ensure that it fulfills its primary responsibility, and adopt standardized, regulated management practices to underpin stable, sustainable growth.

Mayor Liu urged the local government and relevant functional departments on-site to continue providing end-to-end support to enterprises, precisely implement business‑friendly policies, and ensure adequate resource allocation in areas such as talent recruitment and development, financing and credit, market expansion, and facility expansion. He emphasized the need to fully support Duer Equipment in strengthening and scaling up its operations, fostering the agglomeration and growth of Nanyang’s low‑temperature equipment industry chain, and making a greater contribution to enhancing the quality and efficiency of the city’s industrial economy while cultivating new drivers of productivity.

The company’s principal stated that the mayor’s inspection and research visit has bolstered confidence in the enterprise’s development. Moving forward, Duer Equipment will remain committed to the guidance received, continue to focus on its core business of cryogenic and low-temperature equipment, intensify efforts in technological innovation and intelligent upgrades, steadily expand both domestic and international markets, strictly adhere to safety‑production standards, and fully leverage its role as a leading enterprise. By capitalizing on the advantages of the Sheqi Industrial Cluster Zone, the company will continue to drive high‑quality growth in Nanyang City’s high‑end equipment manufacturing sector.
