Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced the list of the 9th batch of national manufacturing single champion enterprises. Recommended by China Minmetals Corporation and approved by MIIT, CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace), a subsidiary of Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited, has been awarded the title of "National-level Manufacturing Single Champion". 

National-level manufacturing single champion enterprises refer to enterprises that have long focused on specific segments of the manufacturing industry, with internationally advanced production technology or process levels and leading global market share of individual products. They represent the highest level and strongest market strength in segmented industries, and are hailed as the "pearls" on the crown of the manufacturing industry. 

Carrying Forward Historical Accumulation to Lead the Development of the Industrial Furnace Industrial Chain 

CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace is a technology-based high-tech enterprise that was among the first in China to engage in industrial furnace consulting, design and R&D, product manufacturing and EPC general contracting. With 73 years of dedication to the industrial furnace segment, it has always adhered to the original aspiration and mission of "serving the country and strengthening the nation through the mining industry", and is committed to "becoming the preferred supplier in the global industrial heating and heat treatment sector". 

The company possesses full-life-cycle development and transformation capabilities from R&D and design, manufacturing and pilot testing to promotion and application. Its manufacturing and pilot test bases have comprehensive capabilities covering the entire process from industrial furnace manufacturing and processing to final assembly and test run, realizing seamless connection between technological R&D and equipment production, and providing a solid guarantee for the product quality of high-end industrial furnace equipment. 

Professional Manufacturing, Final Assembly and Test Run 

Leveraging its full-industrial-chain advantages of "R&D and innovation – digital design – professional manufacturing – customized application", CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace has driven its main products and technologies toward intelligent, green and high-end development. It has long ranked first in global market share, becoming the preferred supplier of industrial furnace technologies and equipment for domestic and foreign iron and steel enterprises and engineering companies. It plays a key supporting role of "addressing weaknesses, strengthening strengths and filling gaps" in the national industrial chain of high-end steel materials and high-end equipment manufacturing. 

Pioneering Innovation to Serve the National Strategy of Building a Steel Powerhouse 

CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace has always been committed to the innovative R&D of processes, technologies and equipment. It has shouldered heavy responsibilities at every key stage of China’s iron and steel industry development, supporting the production of national defense steel, high-end grain-oriented silicon steel, marine engineering steel, nuclear power steel and high-end oil tubular goods with core technologies and equipment, and has achieved a series of technological breakthroughs in high-end steel materials and localization of heat treatment equipment. 

The company has completed a number of pioneering projects in China, including the first domestically-built large-scale slab walking beam heating furnace, the first steel pipe heat treatment quenching furnace and tempering furnace, the first hot-rolled slab walking beam heating furnace with a hearth width exceeding 18 meters, the first high-temperature annealing ring furnace for grain-oriented silicon steel, the first medium and heavy plate roller hearth heat treatment furnace, the first double walking beam heat treatment furnace, the first 1280℃ ultra-high temperature roller hearth solution heat treatment furnace, the first large-scale all-electric heating roller hearth heat treatment furnace, the first high-speed circulating flow roller hearth heat treatment furnace, the first super-large vertical tank magnesium reduction furnace, and the first stainless steel in-line double regenerative solution heat treatment furnace. These projects serve national key engineering constructions, set industry benchmarks, and promote the comprehensive localization of China’s high-end industrial furnace technologies and equipment.

Standing at the Forefront of the Industry to Build Intelligent and Green Benchmark Projects 

Facing the industry trends of intelligent, green and low-carbon development, CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace has continuously tackled key technologies such as intelligent control, ultra-low nitrogen combustion, and energy conservation and consumption reduction, and built a number of industry benchmark projects. 

The company’s industrial furnace intelligent technology has reached the internationally leading level. It has built a full-life-cycle intelligent system covering intelligent design based on digital modeling, high-precision equipment production relying on intelligent manufacturing technology, and production control systems for intelligent centralized control and optimized operation. In the field of ultra-low nitrogen combustion technology, its self-developed "flameless combustion ultra-low nitrogen emission technology based on source control" has become an industry green benchmark, and has been applied in many large iron and steel enterprises at home and abroad. Meanwhile, with the implementation of China’s "dual carbon" goal, the company developed industrial furnace oxygen-enriched combustion technology as early as 2015, and has further achieved breakthroughs in oxy-fuel combustion technology in recent years. The first natural gas oxy-fuel ring furnace has been put into operation in the Dalipal high-end oil and energy pipe project.

Marching to the Center of the World Stage 

CERI Phoenix Industrial Furnace has always adhered to the "two-wheel drive" of domestic and international markets. Since the 1960s, the industrial furnace expert team of CERI (Beijing Institute) has undertaken foreign aid industrial furnace projects, expanding to countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Albania and Pakistan. 

The company has accelerated its internationalization pace. At present, its business covers more than 50 iron and steel enterprises in over 30 countries around the world. It has obtained EU CE certification and Russian registered trademarks, and enjoys a high brand reputation in the overseas industrial furnace industry. 

In recent years, the proportion of the company’s overseas contract value in the total annual newly signed contracts has increased from 11.2% in 2021 to nearly 50% in 2023, realizing a balanced development of overseas and domestic markets. It has become the only industrial furnace enterprise in China that achieves two-wheel drive of both domestic and international businesses.
