CISDI’s chairman heralded China’s lunar new year with a visit to Formosa Plastics Group in Taiwan.

Xiao Xuewen led a delegation from CISDI which met with leaders of FPG’s Formosa Ha Tinh Steel project in Vietnam, the biggest and most ambitious steel complex in Southeast Asia.

Wang Wenyuan and Wang Ruihua, chairman and vice chairman of FHS, and the plant’s chairman Chen Yuancheng and CEO Zhang Funing, debated the current steel situation and future issues with Mr. Xiao and his team.

CISDI was also keen to discuss how it might best serve the next phase of construction and development at Ha Tinh Steel.

Mr. Xiao expressed his hopes that the startup of blast furnace 1 and the impending startup of blast furnace 2 would mark an opportunity for deepening cooperation on projects, and for CISDI to continue its work at FHS via operations management and the delivery of spare parts.

He told his hosts: “FHS has been always our most important client; we put your needs first and aim to provide services of the highest quality.”

In reply, FPG praised CISDI’s consistent support, professionalism and strategic vision in the creation of Ha Tinh Steel as the most competitive in the region.
