This year, the titanium industry in Baoji City has persisted in technological innovation and dared to open up markets, achieving sustained and steady development. It was learned from the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology that from January to July this year, the total output value of the city's 182 titanium enterprises above designated size increased by 9.7% year-on-year.
The titanium industry is our city's advantageous industry. Last year, our city issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for Upgrading the Titanium and New Materials Industry Chain in Baoji City (2023-2025)" and a series of policies to support the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry to comprehensively improve the basic advancement of the titanium industry and the modernization of the industrial chain. This year, our city has organized many government-enterprise symposiums, titanium industry chain symposiums and salon activities, which effectively solved practical difficulties in enterprise development and added motivation and confidence to the further development of the enterprise.
Since the beginning of this year, Baoti Group has adhered to the "two-wheel drive" of technology and market. Many production indicators have reached record highs. It has established a marketing network with wide coverage and diverse channels. Domestic and foreign sales have continued to increase. Relying on its advanced production technology and excellent product quality, Baoji Titanium Co., Ltd. has become the only titanium supplier in China to French aeroengine manufacturer Safran Group. Through reform and innovation, Shaanxi Xingsheng New Materials Co., Ltd. has increased its production efficiency by 10%, sales volume has increased month by month, and operating income in the first seven months of this year increased by 40% year-on-year. Baoji Xinnuo Special Materials Co., Ltd. focuses on the research and development and production of high-end medical titanium materials. Currently, one out of every four domestic medical human implanted titanium materials comes from this company. The city's titanium industry enterprises aim at high-quality development and continue to achieve new results.
At present, pursuing technological innovation and striving to open up markets have become distinctive features of our city's titanium industry chain. In this industrial chain, our city already has 13 national-level specialized and new "little giant" enterprises, 51 provincial-level specialized and new small and medium-sized enterprises, and 5 provincial-level manufacturing individual champion demonstration enterprises.
