CISDI boss meets with British Consul General

CISDI Group strengthened its relationship with the UK steel sector during a visit from the British Consul General.

Britain’s representative in Chongqing Stephen Ellison arrived at CISDI’s HQ in the city to discuss future opportunities with its chairman, Xuewen Xiao.

He praised CISDI’s investment, construction and development efforts in the UK, and expressed the hope that CISDI and British enterprises could explore more joint opportunities.

He pledged to assist with CISDI’s projects in the UK and Europe, as he believed globalised companies would see a better recovery of their businesses after the pandemic, commenting: ‘We hope to see more promotions and applications of CISDI green, intelligent fortes in the UK and beyond.’

CISDI has a strong relationship with Britain - CISDI UK, which is based in Sheffield, is spearheading the group’s overseas business development.

‘Throughout the pandemic, our UK team has pursued progress, while delivering stability. It has ensured smooth, reliable delivery of our services to customers around the world.’

‘We are a trusted partner to British, European and American customers who are transforming and upgrading with cost-effective, eco-friendly and intelligent solutions,’ he added.

‘CISDI is continually developing advancements for green and intelligent manufacturing. We have the only applied industrial internet platform for the global steel sector and have made major breakthroughs in achieving ultra-low emissions, carbon reduction and hydrogen metallurgy technologies.’

With a philosophy of openness and development-sharing, CISDI Group encourages its UK operations to pursue localization and contribute to local economies, cultures and societies. As a result, CISDI UK has become the preferred service provider of customers in the UK and beyond.

Mr Xiao expressed his hope that the British consulate in Chongqing would continue its support for economic, trade and cultural exchange and for CISDI’s development in the British market.

Discussion also focussed on recent developments in urban construction, energy conservation, environmental protection, rural revitalisation and equipment manufacturing.
