Creating the "Pillar of the Chemical Industry" in Henan
In April, the Kaifeng Fine Chemical District is filled with a wave of development. Entering Kaifeng Jiuhong Chemical Co., Ltd, there is a modern production scene: highly automated production equipment shines brightly in the sunshine, the factory area is clean and orderly, and the gold plaques on the honor wall are particularly eye-catching.
As the cornerstone of Kaifeng fine chemical industry cluster, Kaifeng Jiuhong Chemical has delivered an impressive performance in 2025: the group's output value has exceeded 5 billion yuan. What is even more remarkable is that its core product phthalic anhydride production capacity ranks first in the country, and its plasticizer production capacity ranks second in the country. The rise of this output leader is not only a success of the enterprise, but also a vivid practice of Henan's "chain leader driving the industrial chain" strategy.
In the past, high-end fine chemical products were often controlled by others. Jiuhong Chemical has built a complete industrial chain with phthalic anhydride, plasticizers, and other core products through continuous technological breakthroughs, and has mastered multiple internationally advanced independent research and development processes. These core technologies not only enable enterprises to achieve a qualitative leap in cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but also promote product iteration and upgrading——product quality benchmarks international standards, widely used in high-end fields such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and exported to multiple countries and regions around the world.
From simple scale expansion to improving quality and efficiency, Kaifeng Jiuhong Chemical is reshaping its industry discourse power with "technological leadership" and becoming a well deserved cornerstone of the industrial chain.
Through the deep integration of the industrial chain, Kaifeng Jiuhong is transforming the technological advantages of a single enterprise into industrial cluster advantages for the entire region. As the main producer in Kaifeng Fine Chemical Industry Cluster Park, the enterprise has formed a comprehensive production capacity of one million tons of chemical new materials products, including phthalic anhydride, plasticizers, and resins. It has driven the coordinated development of more than 60 chemical enterprises in the region, promoted the output value and revenue of the development zone to exceed 10 billion yuan, and successfully promoted it to a provincial-level one star development zone. Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, Kaifeng Jiuhong is accelerating its layout in the field of high-end new materials, committed to building a world-class chemical base with global competitiveness during the 15th Five Year Plan period.
From exceeding 5 billion yuan in output value to moving towards the mid to high end of the global value chain, every step of Kaifeng Jiuhong Chemical Co., Ltd has been on the drumbeat of high-quality development. It is not only the "leading goose" of Kaifeng Fine Chemical Industry Cluster Park, but also a microcosm of Henan's manufacturing industry's transition from low-end to high-end and from a "chemical province" to a "chemical powerhouse".
In the future, with the rise of more "hidden champions" and like Kaifeng Jiuhong Chemical Co., Ltd in Henan Province, a high-end, green, and intelligent modern chemical industry chain will become increasingly strong, providing solid industrial support for Henan's modernization construction.
