- On January 13, 2022, Mr. Hao Zhao, the Sales Director of Asian Metal, and Mr. Jambo Jiang, the Vanadium Market Analyst of Asian Metal, visited Hubei Haoren Technology Co., Hubei Chongyang Vanadium Group Co., Chongyang Earth Vanadium Research Institute, Chongyang Yongheng Vanadium Co., and were warmly received by the above enterprises.
- On the morning of January 13th, Mr. Hao Zhao and Mr. Jambo Jiang first visited Hubei Haoren Technology Co. and had an in-depth exchange with Mr. Hongwu Zhang, the General Manager of the company, regarding the current market demand and prices of vanadium pentoxide flake, ammonium metavanadate and vanadium nitride. Haoren Technology is located in the Chongyang Vanadium Industry Base and mainly engages in trade of various vanadium products with major steel mills in China. Afterwards, the two sides jointly met Mr. Yachi Wang, the Chairman of Chongyang Vanadium Group Co., and exchanged views and discussions on current status and outlook of vanadium battery and high purity vanadium markets. Chongyang Vanadium Group aims at forming a joint force of vanadium enterprises in Chongyang to stimulate the collective market competitiveness and jointly build a industrial cluster worth tens of billions China Yuan. The group already promoted the construction of two spent vanadium catalyst extraction projects to increase the self-sufficiency of raw materials in Chongyang area, and plans to build professional high-purity vanadium production lines to support vanadium battery industry layout. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang spoke highly of Asian Metal's independent, objective, and high quality market information which is based on forefront market investigation, and hope to further strengthen the cooperation with Asian Metal in the future.
