Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Holding Group Co.

What Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Holding Group Co. does

Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Holding Group Co. is a provincial state-owned enterprise headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, operating as a holding group for the province's consolidated nonferrous metals industry assets. Founded in the 2000s under the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, the group encompasses more than 17 wholly-owned subsidiaries plus three majority-owned listed entities (Jinduicheng Molybdenum SH601958, Baoti SZ600456, Baose SZ300402). Its operations span the full vertical chain from geological exploration and mining through smelting and processing of molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, lead, zinc, vanadium, iron-manganese, precious metals (gold and silver), and silicon materials for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries.

Core production assets include the world's second-largest titanium producer (Baoji Titanium Group, 95 grades, 244 varieties, 5,000+ specifications), China's largest high-temperature high-acid leaching electrolytic zinc smelter at 350,000 tons/year capacity (Hanzhong Zinc Industry), approximately 1 billion tons of molybdenum ore reserves (Jinduicheng Molybdenum), and Tianhong Silicon Materials with polysilicon production capacity of 3,750-4,500 tons/year. Proprietary technologies include high-temperature high-acid leaching for zinc smelting, the modified Siemens method for polysilicon, and multi-crystal silicon production environmental comprehensive utilization technology. The group maintains aerospace certifications with Boeing and Rolls-Royce for titanium products and a strategic joint venture with US-based REC Silicon for electronic-grade polysilicon.

The business model centers on B2B hardware sales of metals and materials to industrial manufacturers, supplemented by trade and logistics services (Shaanxi Nonferrous Group Trading Co., Ltd., 5 billion yuan registered capital), engineering and technical services (China Nonferrous Metals Industry Xi'an Survey and Design Research Institute), and silicon materials manufacturing. Distribution combines direct sales to major Chinese steel and aluminum producers (Baowu Group, Anyang Steel, Baotou Aluminum), international export channels through Bactou Port in Xinjiang to Central Asia, and independent subsidiary-level market channels. Pricing is negotiated B2B with no public pricing transparency. Primary customers span industrial manufacturers, government agencies, and the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries.
