CITIC Heavy Industries is a globally competitive manufacturer and service provider of mining heavy equipment and complete engineering equipment. It is one of the largest heavy equipment manufacturing enterprises in China and a first-tier player in the domestic specialised robotics industry. Relying on its production base in Spain and overseas branches in Brazil, Australia, Peru, Europe, Malaysia, Vietnam and other regions, its products and services cover 68 countries and regions.
In 2025, adhering to its business model of “platform-based development and ecosystem-driven growth”, CITIC Heavy Industries made breakthroughs in high-end equipment manufacturing, emerging business expansion, innovative technology R&D and digital transformation, with its brand influence becoming increasingly prominent. 
Enhanced advantages in the mining and heavy equipment business. Leveraging the cornerstone role of its mining capital equipment, CITIC Heavy Industries successfully secured supply contracts for the world’s largest semi-autogenous mills and ball mills, the world’s largest friction hoist with drive power, and the largest high-pressure grinding rolls applied domestically. Capital equipment is increasingly being supplied in complete batches. Complete sets of equipment, including gyratory crushers, semi-autogenous mills and overflow ball mills, were delivered in batches to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. CITIC Heavy Industries signed contracts for the batch supply of 9 mills in Turkey, 18 pieces of capital equipment (including mills and ore washers) in Indonesia and 16 mill hydraulic stations in Peru. The Morocco MPH drying line and Green Pilot Plant EPC projects were secured, while construction commenced smoothly on the Cambodia 5000 TPD clinker cement production line project. Overseas spare parts orders increased by 27%.
Integrated development of the robotics and intelligent equipment businesses. Mine inspection robots achieved large-scale application in non-coal mines, while firefighting robots were exported to Eastern Europe and the Middle East. CITIC Heavy Industries applied belt anti-tear detection devices for the first time in the non-ferrous metal mining sector. Orders for mill liner replacement manipulators continued to rise both domestically and internationally, reaching a record high in order volume.
Opened up growth space in the new energy equipment business. Jackets for the Qingzhou V & VII offshore wind power projects were delivered in batches, marking the first application of high-toughness, fatigue-resistant offshore steel in jacket manufacturing. CITIC Heavy Industries secured the pile foundation project for the world’s largest single-unit capacity deep-sea tension leg floating wind power platform. It won the bid for the Guazhou Green Methanol Integrated Demonstration Project and successfully entered the niche market for micro-wind power generation turbines.
Specialisation and high-end development of special materials business. High-end castings and forgings continuously supported the Shenzhou spacecraft series. CITIC Heavy Industries fulfilled complete supply contracts for the pressuriser and core makeup tank forgings for the Guohe No 1 project and delivered the world’s largest flywheel rotor core shaft for energy storage, leading the upgrade of energy storage technology. CITIC Heavy Industries delivered the world’s largest ultra-high-pressure cylinder for an isostatic press, breaking technological monopolies. The wear-resistant materials business leveraged its solid foundation and accumulated momentum, further enhancing aftermarket customer loyalty and achieving a new high in orders for high-end wear-resistant liners.
Made breakthroughs in key technologies. The innovation capability of the Phase I experimental platform at the State Key Laboratory for Intelligent Mining Heavy Equipment reached industry-leading levels. CITIC Heavy Industries manufactured a batch of record-setting high-end equipment, including the Φ8.84×14.5m ball mill, GM280-160 high pressure grinding roll (HPGR), and JKM-6.75×6P IV hoist, effectively driving the upgrading of traditional industries. It also successfully developed high-end nuclear forgings such as the million-level half-speed nuclear generator retaining ring and the pressuriser for the Bailong nuclear power unit. The seven-axis mining hydraulic robotic arm reached international advanced levels.
Accelerating intelligent transformation and digitalisation. CITIC Heavy Industries established a digital lean manufacturing platform, achieving 100% online availability for key production data and improving production management efficiency by 30%. It also completed the development and construction of “AI+Advanced Planning and Scheduling” and “AI+Safety Management” systems, increasing production planning and scheduling efficiency by 30% and achieving a high-risk identification and early warning rate of over 90%. It developed the integrated intelligent crushing and grinding technology for mines by deeply integrating big data analytics and AI with equipment to achieve dynamic and precise control of the grinding process, potentially increasing ore processing capacity by 15%. CITIC Heavy Industries was recognised as one of the first batch of data application demonstration enterprises in Henan Province.
