On January 17, the 2nd Session of the 2nd Member Representative Congress of the Qingdao Metal Materials Trade Association, themed "Ecological Synergy for a New Journey, Co-Creating Value to Compose a Brilliant Chapter", and the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Founding of Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd. were successfully convened in Qingdao.

On behalf of Chen Leiming, Executive President of the China National Association of Metal Material Trade(CAMT), Zhang Yanju, Deputy Secretary-General of the CAMT, attended the conference and delivered an address. In her address, she extended congratulations on the grand convening of the Member Representative Congress of the Qingdao Metal Materials Trade Association and offered her most sincere wishes for the 25-year glorious development journey of Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd.

She noted that we are currently in an era of great momentum yet profound challenges: the 14th Five-Year Plan has been successfully concluded, while the 15th Five-Year Plan is gradually unfolding. China’s steel industry is also undergoing a critical "transition period" from scale expansion to high-quality development, confronting profound transformations including the reshaping of supply-demand structure, the urgency of green and low-carbon transition, and the imperative to develop new productive forces. The CAMT will, as always, fulfill its functions of "leading, standardizing, guiding, and serving" to support the innovative development of all member entities, including Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd.

Zhang Yanju emphasized that Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd. should take its 25th anniversary as a new starting point to continue acting as a pioneer in innovative development—deepening explorations in domains such as steel industry internet platforms and green low-carbon supply chains. She also urged the company to sustain its role as a facilitator of industrial chain synergy: leveraging its influence as a president unit to collaborate with upstream and downstream partners in building a healthy industrial ecosystem. Additionally, she encouraged the company to remain a role model for adhering to real economy development, focusing on its core business, enhancing internal capabilities, and seizing new opportunities amid the industry’s strategic transition period.

She noted that with its 25-year solid accumulation, Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd. will undoubtedly forge ahead and achieve new milestones. Meanwhile, under the leadership of President Zhang Zengzhou, the Qingdao Metal Materials Trade Association will continue to exert its leading role, jointly explore new development models, cultivate new drivers of innovation, and make greater contributions to the sustainable and healthy development of China’s steel Trade industry.

At the conference, the China National Association of Metal Material Trade (CAMT) also presented a commemorative plaque to Qingdao Jiuzhou Materials Co., Ltd. in recognition of the company’s 25th anniversary of its founding.
