On February 18, Stijn Vancompernolle, Vice President of Procurement at Bekaert Group, Hu Jie, Director of Procurement for the Asia-Pacific region, and Gu Jinping, General Manager of Procurement, visited Aosen. They were warmly welcomed by Cao Yuebin, Chairman of Aosen Special Steel Group, Wang Zhe, General Manager, Cui Juan, Deputy General Manager, and Wang Chaolong, Sales Director. The two sides exchanged insights on corporate operations, industry value chains, and sustainable development of the supply chain, and reached a consensus on deepening their collaboration in the future.

Stijn Vancompernolle and his delegation toured the ironmaking plant, steelmaking plant, special rolling mill, metal products factory, and the integrated intelligent control center. They gained a detailed understanding of our company’s development journey, production line equipment, and technical processes. They praised our company’s advanced equipment, technologies, and R&D capabilities, expressing strong confidence in expanding future collaboration between our organizations.

At the exchange meeting, Ausen first welcomed Stijn Vancompernolle and his delegation, briefly outlining recent developments in areas such as green and low-carbon transformation, green manufacturing, cargo transportation packaging, and import-export trade. After listening to the report, Beaulieu expressed full recognition of Ausen’s commitment to advancing its green and low-carbon transition, as well as the significant achievements it has made under the firm implementation of a high-quality development strategy.

Bekaert stated that, as green and sustainable development emerges as a critical global issue, it hopes Ausen can leverage its position in policy and regulation to forge effective pathways in areas such as standard-setting, the application of recycled materials, and the exploration of sustainable growth models. By fully integrating green, low-carbon principles into its operations and product development, Bekaert also looks forward to collaborating closely with Ausen across multiple dimensions— including the circular economy and broader sustainability initiatives—to deepen and expand their partnership, ultimately achieving greater mutual benefits and shared success.

Aosen believes that, guided by the overarching goals of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality," it remains firmly committed to driving robust green and low-carbon development while actively promoting the establishment of a low-carbon standards framework. Aosen also emphasized that both parties share a common vision: proactively exploring sustainable low-carbon pathways to achieve greener, smarter, and more high-end industrial growth. Moving forward, Aosen expressed hope that the two sides will collaborate deeply on cutting-edge products, fostering enhanced exchanges in areas such as green technologies and sustainable development—ultimately yielding even more high-quality cooperative outcomes.
