OM Materials (Qinzhou) Co., Ltd (OMQ) is situated at Qinzhou Port Economic Development Zone Jingujiang Industrial Park which is the core industrial zone of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone. Being located on top of Beibu Gulf in South China Sea, she is also the joining part connecting southern economic circle, south western economic circle to ASEAN economic circle. It is an uprising heavy chemical industry base of the Chinese coastal area, and the 6th bonded port approved by the Sate Council. With its good natural deep water port in the southern part of China, Qinzhou Port has favourable condition to be an international port that can provide large berth for ships up to 300,000 tons. With its great geographical location, the port has great convenient access to highway, and railway.

 

OMQ plant project was approved by People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in June, 2001, and was divided into two phase. Phase one was completed on June 2004 and started operation till date. The total capital expenditure and paid up capital for phase one were US 22 million and US 8.5 million respectively. There are two 16,500KVA electronic furnaces and one 3,500KVA refine electric furnace, which uses one of the advance technology and equipments in the industry. The designed production capacity is about 60,000 tons of alloys annually (High carbon ferroalloy, Medium carbon ferroalloy, Silicon manganese). On 2nd November 2006, our phase one project was admitted by the China National Development and Reform Commission for the production of ferroalloy enterprise. Furthermore, in the year 2007, we have obtained the ISO 9001: 2000 international quality system authentication and achieved China Quality Credit Appraise triple A rating on April 2009.

 

In August 2008, OM Holdings Ltd decided to have technical upgrading and transformation on the existing phase one production equipments. The total fixed asset investment was RMB 150 million on the energy-saving technological transformation of manganese ore sintering system. Once completed, the current electric furnaces will transform from semi-closed to closed furnaces operation. This will enable us to collect the CO gases inside the furnaces and act as a fuel for the sinter plant. The construction of 2 × 36 m2 large sinter production lines uses the most advanced technology in China where it can produce closed to 600,000 tons of high quality manganese sinter annually. At present, the first set of production line will be expected to be completed and commission by the end of 2009, and the second production line will begin on an appropriate time in the near future. After the completion of the whole project, it will be the largest manganese sinter production and sales base in China.

 

Today, OMQ has expanded and grown in strength, the OM Holdings Ltd, Board of Directors are more confidence and determined to develop OMQ into a leading and first class smelter in China. And to transform OMQ from a single smelter manufacturer into an one-stop integrated manganese ferroalloy smelters with business activities ranging from production and sales of manganese ores, sinter, by products and alloy. Furthermore, we will begin the phase two project, with the construction of two large-scale 25,000KVA electric furnaces at an appropriate time in the near future.
