Visiting Europe | Daming International Visits FLSmidth

On September 1 (local time), a high-level delegation from Daming International, consisting of core leaders including Chairman Zhou Keming, Daming Heavy Industry President Chen Ning, Daming Import and Export Deputy General Manager Wang Xuming, Daming Energy Equipment General Manager Wang Xi, Daming Europe General Manager Johnny Fornstedt, and Daming Energy Equipment Marketing Director Ren Lei, paid an official visit to the headquarters of FLSmidth in Copenhagen, Denmark. This visit marked a key step in strengthening bilateral cooperation amid the evolving global mining market landscape.

The Daming delegation was warmly received by a senior team from FLS (FLSmidth), led by Toni Laaksonen, President of FLS’s Mining Service Line, alongside Arto Halonen (Mining Service Line Purchasing Director), Qasim Abrahams (Spare Parts Director), Dondu Deveci (Spare Parts Purchasing Director), and Morten Pedersen (Supply Chain Quality Director). The meeting fostered in-depth dialogue focused on market trends, project collaboration, and future strategic partnerships.

In-Depth Dialogue on Market Trends and Project Collaboration

During the discussions, the FLS team took the lead in sharing critical insights into the global mining industry, including its latest global mining market layout, product planning for the spare parts segment, and emerging business development trends. A key highlight was FLS’s note on growing demand for spare parts, driven by its ongoing global market strategic adjustments. The company emphasized its future focus on optimizing and integrating product portfolios to deliver more timely, responsive services to end customers—a direction aligned with the broader development trend of the global spare parts market.

The two sides also conducted a comprehensive review of their joint participation in major mining projects and exchanged updates on projects currently under discussion. Against the backdrop of intensifying competition in the global mining equipment market, both parties reached a consensus: strengthening frequent communication and deepening practical cooperation will be key to preserving competitive advantages and seizing market opportunities.

Showcasing Strengths to Lay the Foundation for Expanded Cooperation

The Daming delegation took the opportunity to present the group’s overall business development model, with a specific focus on Daming Heavy Industry’s advanced equipment capabilities and comprehensive supporting services. Notably, as Daming accelerates the commercialization of its terminal business, its advantages in providing “one-stop” integrated services—covering procurement, processing, manufacturing, and logistics—have become increasingly prominent, significantly enhancing its overall competitiveness in the industrial chain.

Both Daming and FLS expressed a strong commitment to further deepening their existing cooperation, expanding their joint product portfolios, and driving growth in business volume to tap into more potential in the mining equipment and spare parts markets.

Forging a Long-Term Strategic Partnership

Chairman Zhou Keming of Daming International provided a detailed briefing to FLS’s Mining Service Line management team on Daming’s current development status, long-term strategic layout, and future development plans. Building on this shared understanding, the two parties reached a series of key agreements to elevate their partnership:

• Establish effective regular communication and rapid response mechanisms to ensure timely alignment with market changes and project needs.
• Promote frequent mutual visits and exchanges to facilitate knowledge sharing and operational synergy.
• In the face of the ever-changing global mining market environment, jointly advance strategic information sharing and deepen proactive supplier involvement in FLS’s project planning.
• Collaborate to develop optimized project execution plans and emergency response mechanisms to shorten product delivery cycles and improve service responsiveness.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to continuously prioritizing product quality and on-time delivery as the core of their cooperation, with the ultimate goal of jointly providing more competitive and comprehensive services to global customers in the mining sector.
