The messages from the heads

We wish all our customers, suppliers, partners, friends and colleagues across the globe all the very best in 2022.

We greatly appreciate the time and effort spent by everyone with our team from the UK throughout 2021 and the difficult times faced by all. Social distancing has brought about new ways of working and we thank our customers and suppliers for adapting to work together in this environment.

We look forward to continuing and strengthening our friendships and supporting each other throughout 2022.

We will take all the opportunities to grow and develop our business and at the same time growing and adding value to the businesses of our customers.

From Hatee Ram Pattanayak and CISDI India

The year 2021 proved to be a time of revival as cases of COVID19 declined.

The Indian market steered through difficult early months and saw an investment boom in steel sector projects during the latter part of the year.

CISDI and its subsidiary CISDI India stayed responsive and kept all forms of communication open for ongoing projects (at TSK, JSW and Aarti) and upcoming projects (AMNS, JSW, JSPL, JSOL, JSL, TSL, Vedanta & others).

Regardless of their distant locations, engagement with clients in India continued uninterrupted during the ongoing COVID19 crisis.

Modern engineering tools, simulation packages, remote commissioning systems and communication channels, developed in-house by CISDI’s research wing, enabled customers’ queries, issues and targets to be dealt with on time.

Team of experts, working remotely 24-7 from CISDI China, ensured the delivery of equipment and services for remote commissioning for our Indian clients.

CISDI is emerging as a renowned and trusted brand in India for steel process technologies, solutions, equipment and services.

CISDI and CISDI India are grateful for orders awarded by JSOL (JSPL) in 2021.

Our Indian team will continue to facilitate CISDI’s aspiration to widen its footprint in India and be an active partner in India’s drive to enhance its crude steelmaking capacity to 300 mtpa by 2030.

We look forward to more opportunities to serve India’s large and medium-scale steel producers in 2022.

From Yong Liu and the HQ’s overseas business division

2021 kept us apart and posed ever more challenges to our overseas marketing and implementation.

International travel restrictions, distance-working and video conferencing have become the new norm. We greatly appreciate the support and trust shown by our customers, suppliers and partners during the pandemic.

We worked with our offices around the world and our local partners to meet our customers’ needs and fulfil our contractual commitments.

We are more united than ever because of the challenges we have worked through, and will take every opportunity to grow our business and at the same time add value to the businesses of our customers in a greener and more sustainable manner.

Thank you all for your support and trust. I wish you a very prosperous, safe and happy 2022.

From Shihong Ma and CISDI Malaysia

In 2021 we stayed committed to combating COVID-19 and forged a stronger relationship with our customers in Southeast Asia.

Despite travel restrictions, we kept in close contact with overseas customers and partners.

Solid preparations have been laid for 2022. We will continue marketing and sales in ASEAN steels and will strengthen communications with old and new customers from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and beyond.

With regard to our Belt-Road projects, ASSB, Wen’an and Gunung steel supplies and construction work will move forward and our training programmes at these projects will enable more local people to gain skills and qualifications for jobs.

We wish all friends and partners in ASEAN a happy, peaceful 2022.

From Xinbin Liu and CISDI Vietnam

Our special thanks go to Formosa Ha Tinh Steel and Hoa Phat Steel for their ongoing support in 2021, a year beset by COVID-19.

Their support meant projects progressed smoothly and started up on-time. We hope our strong relationship continues and pledge ever-attentive service from CISDI.

We also thank our other clients, partners and friends and wish everyone good health, good luck and much happiness in 2022.

From Xin Yan and CISDI Brazil

In 2022, CISDI Brazil will be striving to open up more of the South American market and provide a portfolio of high quality services.

The year will definitely see stronger solidarity in boosting post-COVID economic recovery.

We hope to meet with more clients and partners to build on existing relationships and promote China-Brazil business links.

Wishing all our clients and partners a safe and happy 2022.

From Jing Zhang and CISDI Turkey

CISDI Turkey, like many of our friends and customers, was affected by the COVID-19 epidemic for the duration of 2021.

However, our team kept busy, participating in construction and commissioning supervision in Turkey and travelling to Ukraine to carry out design reviews with customers, ensuring their projects progressed to plan.

The gas holder project at Isdemir’s steel plant in Turkey was a standout example of how the CISDI teamwork with the customer to overcome numerous difficulties, solved problems and achieved successful start up.

In 2022, CISDI Turkey hopes to continue working closely with customers and friends, overcoming challenges and achieving greater growth and progress.
