Cathay Pacific Group: civil explosion integration rail transit automation and information technology, dual-core drive development.


Customer Overview


Cathay Pacific Group was registered and established in December 2006, aiming to integrate the civil explosive equipment manufacturers in the military system and tungsten industry system in the province. In 2017, it acquired 100 percent of the shares of Jiangxi Copper Civil Explosion and Weiyuan Civil Explosion, a subsidiary of the Provincial Civil Explosion Company, and integrated civil explosive equipment manufacturers in the copper and coal systems. In 2018, the province's civil explosive production enterprises were listed as a whole. In 2019, it acquired Beijing Taige Times Automation System Equipment Co., Ltd. to enter the field of rail transit. In 2020, it will be upgraded to a provincial-funded regulatory enterprise with the approval of the provincial government.

 

As civil explosive equipment is flammable and explosive dangerous goods, the characteristics of "license business" have set up a very high entry threshold for the civil explosive industry. For enterprises that have obtained the corresponding license, the license is the basis of stable production and operation, and also reduces a lot of potential competition. However, as my country's economic growth began to slow down, there was a serious overcapacity in the downstream. Affected by this, the prospects of the very promising civil explosion market suddenly became bleak. After more than ten years of development in the civil explosion industry, the service consciousness of enterprises has changed greatly. Therefore, civil explosion enterprises can only break through the bottleneck of the industry by "transformation and upgrading of strategy and mode" and from a single development mode to diversified development.
