On Wednesday, January 25, the Ambassador of PR China in Serbia, H.E. Chen Bo visited HBIS Group Smederevo as part of the Chinese New Year celebration program in this city - the Caravan of Friendship on the Silk Road. Accompanied by the director of HBIS Serbia, Song Sihai, Ambassador Chen visited new, modern, automated facilities that save energy and natural gas and achieve an appropriate level of environmental protection.

Director of HBIS Serbia steel plant, Song Sihai, presented the Blast Furnace Gas Holder and the New Sinter Plant to the delegation of the Embassy of PR China, where he introduced them to the advantages of this highly automated plant, as well as the Walking Beam Furnace.

Director Song emphasised that working conditions in the old Sinter Plant were difficult before: "This plant is of great importance for the operation of our factory and its impact on the environment. We are operating better and more efficiently, and the amount of PM particles in the air is minimal, not even near the permitted limit values", director Song pointed out.

The New Sinter Line attracted a lot of attention and interest from Ambassador Chen Bo. She reminded that she visited the steel plant when the works on this facility started. “Over the past year, HBIS maintained the business and production success despite the numerous challenges it faced. I am glad to see today that new production plants are being opened and that the factory is making a significant progress in areas such as environmental protection and innovative technologies, as well as the fact that the life of the citizens of Smederevo is getting better and better. I wish the city of Smederevo and the steel plant successful development and all the employees of HBIS and the citizens of Smederevo greater happiness in the Year of the Rabbit”, said Ambassador Chen Bo.
