What Jinxi Group does

Jinxi Group (Hebei Jinxi Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd.) is a large Chinese diversified industrial group founded in 1986 and headquartered in Beijing, with controlling parent China Oriental Group Holdings Limited listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (00581.HK). The group's core business is the manufacturing and sale of hot-rolled section steel products - principally H-beams, steel sheet piles (U-type and Z-type), high-speed rail contact network poles, channel steel, and angle steel - across 152 product series and 428 specifications. Jinxi operates the world's largest steel sheet pile production capacity with 70% domestic and 25% global market share, and the company's self-developed fully domestic wide-format steel sheet pile production line (including 33-meter ultra-long products and cold-resistant Z-type sheet piles rated to -30°C) is a globally differentiated capability, with only four manufacturers worldwide capable of Z-type production.

The group operates a vertically integrated model anchored on direct sales to large-scale national infrastructure projects and state-owned enterprises. Key end markets include transportation infrastructure (Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Shenzhen-Zhongshan Passage, Beijing Daxing International Airport, Beijing National Stadium), power transmission infrastructure for State Grid and China Southern Power Grid (via A-share listed subsidiary Huijintong, stock code 603577), high-speed rail contact network poles (>90% domestic market share covering 100+ rail lines), and water conservancy/coastal engineering. Products are exported to 53 countries through Hong Kong and Singapore subsidiary platforms, supported by CE, JIS, KS, Singapore BC1, and other international certifications. ArcelorMittal has been a strategic shareholder and partner since 2007.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time direct sales contracts negotiated on project-specific terms, with multi-year master agreements supporting power transmission customers. The group employs 10,000+ workers across 40+ domestic and overseas subsidiaries, achieved 144.6 billion CNY in 2025 revenue, and has been ranked in China's Top 500 Enterprises for 23 consecutive years. Jinxi is executing an explicit 'Specialization, Extension, High-End' (专长高) transformation strategy, with recent strategic moves including the March 2025 acquisition of 55% of Zhuhai Feima Transmission (RV precision reducers for robotics), an October 2024 joint venture with ArcelorMittal for 6.36 billion RMB in new energy soft magnetic materials, and a December 2025 agreement for an embodied intelligent robot joint components project in Changzhou targeting 240,000-unit annual capacity. The strategic intent is to diversify beyond steel into robotics, new energy materials, and semiconductor equipment (via Oriental Jingyuan) while targeting World Fortune 500 status by 2030.
