Xiajin: Connecting Both Domestic and International Markets for a New Chapter in Opening-up

As part of the seventh session of the “Shandong Unveiled” promotional activities themed “Pool Strength for Economic Foreign Affairs and Empower Grassroots Development”, a media delegation travelled to Xiajin County, Dezhou City. The delegation went to Xiajin Guangda Environmental Protection Energy Co., Ltd., Dezhou Ou Rui Electronic Communication Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and other enterprises.

With foreign affairs fueling local growth, Xiajin County is linking local industries to world markets. It has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade and focused on diversifying its export mix. Local authorities have actively organized companies to participate in major trade fairs such as the Canton Fair, while offering guidance on international certifications and overseas trademark registrations, paving the way for local businesses to go global. In 2025, emerging export products generated an additional 140 million yuan in revenue, marking a decisive shift from traditional low-end goods to a more diversified, high-value export portfolio.

Homegrown manufacturer Dezhou Ou Rui Electronic Communication Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. stands as a flagship example of Xiajin's global ambitions. Specializing in liquid-cooled cabinets and precision sheet metal components for computing infrastructure, the company adheres strictly to international standards and has cultivated long-term partnerships across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Foreign-invested Xiajin Guangda Environmental Protection Energy Co., Ltd. has likewise made its mark, operating a permanent environmental education base that has received nearly 20,000 visitors. Through transparent operations and state-of-the-art pollution control technologies, it has helped reshape public perceptions of waste-to-energy projects.

Looking ahead, Xiajin will continue to refine its business environment, support more local enterprises in accessing global markets, and build multi-level platforms for international exchange, showcasing the growing dynamism of this northwest Shandong county as it embraces deeper opening-up.
