March 12, 2026 | Source: Langfang News

In recent years, Wen’an County has taken shared intelligent manufacturing as its core engine, strengthening technological innovation and leading enterprise initiatives, accelerating the green and low‑carbon transition, promoting intelligent upgrades for enterprises, continuously refining industrial chains, and making every effort to upgrade and enhance the green, low‑carbon building materials (artificial board) industry cluster—resulting in the initial formation of a trillion‑yuan-level industrial cluster.

Reporter Wang Jie: This is Hebei Donghai Xuri Wood Industry Co., Ltd., located in Wen’an County. The highly efficient production line beside me not only employs cutting‑edge domestic process technologies but is also equipped with state‑of‑the‑art energy‑saving and environmentally friendly technologies, with an annual output of high‑strength… Particleboard Up to 400,000 cubic meters.

This automated, continuous flat‑pressure particleboard production line is a key energy‑saving and carbon‑reduction renovation project that Donghai Xuri Wood Industry invested 300 million yuan in during 2024. From raw material feeding to finished board output, the entire process requires no manual intervention, achieving intelligent, data‑driven, and fully automated operation. With a production capacity three times that of traditional production lines, it has significantly enhanced the company’s long‑term growth potential and market competitiveness.

Huang Baohong, General Manager of Wen’an Donghai Xuri Wood Industry Co., Ltd.: This single production line is equivalent to our original three traditional production lines. Moreover, the number of workers required for one line is now roughly one-third of what it used to be. Compared with our older, conventional production lines, we can reduce raw material costs by 5%, cut glue consumption by 10%, and lower energy consumption as well. At the same time, output has increased significantly—making this solution both environmentally friendly and green.

While significantly boosting production capacity, they have also achieved a qualitative breakthrough in product quality inspection. By leveraging AI and big data technologies to replace traditional manual inspections, the company has attained a 100% inspection accuracy rate. As a benchmark enterprise within the Wen’an Green and Low-Carbon Building Materials Industry Cluster, Donghai Xuri is using technological innovation to lead the accelerated transformation and upgrading of the man‑made board industry.

Huang Baohong, General Manager of Wen’an Donghai Xuri Wood Industry Co., Ltd.: It not only helps boost productivity but also successfully introduces artificial intelligence into our industry. By adopting this technology, the companies around us are following our lead in upgrading their industrial models and investing in such equipment to enhance their production efficiency and inspection accuracy.

Industrial upgrading not only requires leading enterprises to take the lead, but also calls for the entire industry chain to advance together. Wengan County Quansheng Wood Industry is among the first in China to meet ENF-level environmental standards. Eco-friendly board Enterprises with strong production capabilities, while strengthening their R&D and production of eco-friendly boards, have innovatively launched a “small capital, large warehousing” sharing model, building a cloud-based warehousing and logistics platform to procure high‑quality products at lower costs and achieve efficient supply‑demand matching.

Wen’an County Quansheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd. Sumeru Yang Haibin, Head of the Craftsmanship Operations Center: By leveraging centralized procurement and resource integration, we enable customers to obtain premium products at **competitive prices**. Then, we handle logistics—loading shipments for our customers and resolving their shipping challenges. These are the core advantages that make our cloud warehouse stand out.

After years of dedicated development, Quansheng Wood Industry has established itself in the fields of ecological boards and particle boards, Multilayer board It has developed a full‑range product portfolio and successfully established its own “Sumuzhang” brand. The company was the first in China to found the “Sumuzhang” Digital Home Customization & Innovation Center, achieving a cross‑industry upgrade from board material production to custom home furnishings, with its industrial chain continuously expanding into the high‑end segment.

Yang Haibin, Head of the Su Muzhang Operations Center at Wen’an Quansheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd.: At present, the “Su Muzhang” brand operates direct sales across 14 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, with more than 400 specialty stores and an annual shipment volume exceeding 3 million units. We are currently constructing a 15,000-square-meter production facility that will cover all whole-home customization products, including doors, walls, and cabinets, in order to extend our industrial chain and build a diversified product manufacturing system.

While leading enterprises take the lead and brand cultivation gains momentum, Wen’an County leverages its strong foundation in the man‑made board industry to drive the clustering and coordinated development of upstream and downstream supporting industries—including specialized woodworking equipment, automated manufacturing, centralized heating, industrial design, and logistics and transportation—creating a “shared intelligent manufacturing” industrial ecosystem that is steadily maturing.

Reporter Wang Jie: At Zhongxin Biomass Heating Co., Ltd., biomass fuel made from straw, waste wood, and other materials is burned in the boiler behind me. The resulting heat is then continuously transported via a network of heating pipelines to downstream corporate customers.

Zhang Xiaowu, Deputy General Manager of Wen’an Zhongxin Biomass Heating Co., Ltd.: Steam serves as the heat transfer medium; after completing heat exchange at the user’s home, it condenses into water and then returns to our company. This creates a closed-loop system for water reuse, and the returned water also carries a portion of thermal energy, which represents another form of heat recovery.

Zhongxin Biomass Heating leverages industrial clusters to transform agricultural and forestry waste as well as production scraps from enterprises into valuable resources. By establishing a centralized heating network, it provides businesses with a stable, clean, and highly efficient heat source, thereby building a green, low‑carbon, circular, and highly efficient industrial support system. Currently, the heating pipeline network covers the core areas of Tanli Town and Zuogezhuang Town, spanning more than 30 kilometers in total, serving over 180 enterprises, consuming 300,000 tons of biomass fuel annually, saving 200,000 tons of standard coal, and replacing more than 300 small coal-fired boilers.

Fang Baozhong, Deputy General Manager of Wen’an Zhongxin Biomass Heating Co., Ltd.: By providing users with high‑quality, efficient, stable, and safe qualified steam, we can significantly reduce their production costs. According to statistics, annual production costs have decreased by roughly 18% on average. At the same time, we recycle and reuse the waste edge trimmings generated during the production process as fuel, thereby creating a closed-loop system for shared manufacturing.

To date, the Wen’an Green and Low-Carbon Building Materials (Man‑Made Board) Industry Cluster boasts 3,815 leading enterprises spanning multiple sectors, including man‑made boards, hardware and building materials, plastic products, and wires and cables. The cluster has cultivated a total of 192 digitally transformed enterprises and 31 “Shared Intelligent Manufacturing” demonstration enterprises. By 2025, the cluster is expected to achieve an operating revenue of 102 billion yuan and tax contributions of 1.198 billion yuan, with steady improvements in both development quality and efficiency. Moving forward, Wen’an County will continue to strengthen policy support, innovation-driven development, flagship enterprise leadership, and industrial park agglomeration, guiding traditional enterprises to accelerate their green and low‑carbon transformation and “intelligent upgrading and digital transformation.” The county will build “shared factories” to high standards, comprehensively enhance brand competitiveness, and strive to create a nationally renowned, hundred-billion-yuan-level green building materials industry base.
