Established in 1992, the Hebei Yongnian Industrial Park was one of the first 20 provincial-level industrial parks in the province. It received official recognition from the provincial government in 1994 and was successively known as the Torch Industrial Park and the High-Tech Industrial Park. In 2006, following a review by the National Development and Reform Commission, it was renamed the Hebei Yongnian Industrial Park.In 2015, it was designated by the provincial government as one of the 60 key development zones in Hebei Province tasked with receiving industrial transfers from Beijing and Tianjin, and as one of the 40 key high-potential parks in the province. It was also recognized as a New Industrial Demonstration Base in Hebei Province by the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Department of Commerce.The industrial park has an approved area of 21.24 square kilometers (15.67 square kilometers in the Southwest Zone and 5.57 square kilometers in the East Zone), with 8.47 square kilometers currently under development.
The infrastructure is well-developed, featuring 22 main roads with a total length of 35 kilometers, 35 kilometers of power and communication lines, and 20 kilometers of natural gas pipelines. The park has achieved the “Eight Utilities and One Land Leveling” standard—covering water supply, drainage, power, roads, gas, communications, broadband internet, and cable TV—laying a solid foundation for the park’s development.
The industrial foundation is robust, with 138 enterprises operating in the park, including 70 small and medium-sized technology-based enterprises and 10 high-tech enterprises. Among these, 60 are enterprises above a certain scale. The park has evolved into a distinctive industrial zone dominated by special steel and its extended processing, high-end equipment manufacturing, high-end fasteners, new materials and new energy, and modern commerce and logistics.
The business environment is favorable. The industrial park has prioritized bringing services closer to enterprises, leveraging the grid-based management mechanism for social affairs to implement a “one-person-per-enterprise” system with targeted assistance. This has enabled “one-stop” and “concierge-style” assistance and agency services, further enhancing the park’s service standards.
From January to June 2022, the park generated operating revenue of 24.64 billion yuan, tax revenue of 860 million yuan, and attracted 500,000 USD in actual foreign investment. The fixed-asset investment growth rate reached 12.3%, while the total import and export volume from January to May amounted to 606.441 million yuan.
