The 2016 Work Conference of the National Glass Fiber Composite Industry was held in Shanghai

From April 26 to 28, the 2016 Work Conference of the National Glass Fiber Composite Industry was held in Shanghai. The meeting was attended by experts from China Composite Materials Industry Association and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, leaders of provincial and municipal ICT committees, leaders of the municipal building materials industry promotion group and representatives of entrepreneurs from the national glass fiber composite industry.

During the meeting, relevant leaders and experts interpreted the 13th Five-Year Development Plan of the Fiber Composite Industry, and discussed the direction of development and application of the industry and the characteristics of technological innovation. The conference focused on the new achievements and technologies of glass fiber composite industry in recent years, pointed out that large-scale, lightweight and structuralization are the new directions of composite material development, and the composite material industry as a whole will develop in the direction of high added value.

Participants also visited Shangyou Glass Fiber New Composite Enterprise and made suggestions on the development of Shangyou Glass Fiber Composite Pillar Industry. In recent years, based on the market demand and industrial foundation, Shangyou County regards the new glass fiber composite industry as the leading industry in the county. Firmly moving away from the idea of industrial cluster development, speeding up technological upgrading and increasing capital and output, a relatively complete industrial chain has been formed from glass fiber drawing, weaving and material composite to glass fiber products, and it has become an important production base of glass fiber composite industry in the central region of China. In 2013, the Industrial and Information Commission of Jiangxi Province awarded Shangyou County the title of "provincial glass fiber and new composite material industry base". In 2014, Shangyou County glass fiber composite industry was recognized by Jiangxi Province and established as one of the 60 key development clusters in the province. In 2015, the China Building Materials Federation awarded Shangyou County the title of "China Glass Fiber New Composite Industry Cluster Development Demonstration Base".
