Since this year, Wuhan Tianma Industrial Co., Ltd. and Jiangrun Chemical Co., Ltd., among others, have established their operations in the Yingcheng Changjiangjing Chemical Technology Industrial Park. This marks a significant shift, as more than 20 chemical companies have relocated from Wuhan to the Yangtze River area. Located just 60 kilometers from Wuhan, this town is witnessing the rapid rise of a new fine chemical industry cluster.
The Yangtze River region is rich in natural resources, particularly due to the Yunying Salt Mine, which provides essential raw materials for basic chemicals. Nearby, large-scale chemical enterprises like Hubei Shuanghuan and salt plants create a solid foundation for further industrial development. With Wuhan undergoing a strategic adjustment known as "retreating into two or three industries," many chemical firms are seeking to move out of the city center, looking for better growth opportunities.
The repurposed factory buildings of over 20 former township enterprises in the Yangtze River area have become valuable assets for attracting Wuhan-based chemical companies. In 1998, the Wuhan Chemical Research Institute set up an advanced facility in the region. At that time, its electrolytic fluorine products were leading nationally. However, the original location in downtown Wuhan limited expansion. The Yangtze River offered ready-made facilities, lower electricity costs, and access to nearby raw materials. After relocating, the company’s production scale expanded tenfold. Following this success, companies such as Wuhan Three-dimensional, Lifa, Hanxing, Zhicheng, Jihechang, and Defu also chose to establish themselves in the area.
Over the past few years, the Yangtze River Chemical Industry Park has grown rapidly. Today, it hosts over 40 chemical companies, specializing in five major categories: silicones, organofluorines, electroplating intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediates, and phenolic resins. These companies offer more than 200 product lines and generate annual sales of 700 million yuan. Four products—electrolytic organofluorine, silane coupling agents, electroplating additives, and Ribavirin pharmaceutical intermediates—lead the nation in sales volume. In 2004, the park was recognized as the “National Torch Plan Chemical New Material Industrial Base.â€
Looking ahead, the new district of the Yangtze River Chemical Industry Park will expand toward the northeast, adjacent to the Dongmafang Salt Chemical Industry Group. Over the next five years, with the arrival of numerous organic chemical companies from Wuhan, the area is expected to develop into a full-fledged “New Chemical City,†driving regional economic growth and industrial innovation.
