1. Enterprise Overview: State-Owned Professional Foreign Trade Platform Rooted in Xinjiang

Established on March 10, 2000, Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. is a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 002092), an A-share listed enterprise. It is also the earliest professional foreign trade entity with complete import and export qualifications under the Zhongtai Group system.

According to official industrial and commercial registration data, the company has a registered capital of RMB 60 million, with Zhang Binwen serving as its legal representative. Its registered address is No. 39 Yangchenghu Road, Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe District), located in the core area of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone. The enterprise is in normal and sustainable operation as a wholly state-owned trading company. In 2024, the company achieved an annual operating income of RMB 1.823 billion. It maintains a professional foreign trade team of about 50 employees and has built a multilingual, cross-regional overseas business service system.

Relying on the listed platform of its parent group, the company has set up an overseas supporting institution — Zhongtai International Development (Hong Kong) Co., Limited. It has formed a mature domestic and overseas integrated foreign trade operation system, which effectively hedges cross-border operational risks such as exchange rate fluctuations, and uniformly plans and manages the group’s overall import and export business.

2. Core Business: Two-Way Global Trade Empowered by Integrated Chemical and Textile Industrial Chains

The core competitiveness of Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. derives from Zhongtai Group’s complete physical industrial chains in chemical and textile sectors. The company’s business is divided into two core sectors: global export of self-produced products and import of raw materials and equipment. It holds a full set of special operating licenses including hazardous chemical operation, food import and export, and precious metal trade, covering hundreds of categories of industrial bulk commodities. Its business network covers more than 90 countries and regions worldwide.

2.1 Export Business: Global Marketing of Self-Developed Industrial Core Products

Basic Chemical Raw Materials: The company’s flagship export products include full-series PVC resin (SG3, SG5, SG7, SG8), ion-exchange membrane caustic soda (flake caustic soda, pearl caustic soda, liquid caustic soda), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), sodium hydrosulfide and other fine chemical products. PVC products are widely used in pipe manufacturing, building profiles, wire and cable, and plastic flooring industries. Caustic soda products serve downstream fields including water treatment, papermaking, alumina processing and textile printing and dyeing. In 2025, the company launched customized ton-bag packaging solutions, realizing large-scale PVC product exports to the European market. In the same year, it completed the first thousand-ton overseas order of sodium hydrosulfide, and expanded its caustic soda business to Central Asia, Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.

Textile Industrial Chain Products: Major export categories cover viscose staple fiber, viscose yarn, polyester staple fiber and other textile raw materials. The company supports the production capacity export of the Danghara Textile Industrial Park in Tajikistan, and its textile raw materials have long-term stable supply relationships with Eurasian markets including Russia, Turkey, Pakistan and Italy. It has built a direct overseas supply chain based on oversea production bases.

2.2 Import Business: Guaranteed Raw Material and Equipment Supply for Industrial Chain Operation

The company’s import business focuses on high-quality upstream materials and core supporting equipment required for the group’s industrial operation, forming a stable supply guarantee system:

First, upstream textile and chemical raw materials, including wood pulp, dissolving pulp and various chemical additives, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of domestic viscose and chemical fiber production lines;

Second, industrial supporting equipment and accessories, including large-scale complete chemical production equipment, precision instruments and meters, special bearings, electrical accessories and special steel materials;

Third, diversified bulk commodities, including non-ferrous metals, chemical fertilizers, pre-packaged agricultural and animal products, coal materials and building materials, meeting both the group’s internal production needs and external market-oriented trading demands.

3. Regional and Logistics Advantages: Building a Cross-Border Supply Chain Based on the Belt and Road Core Area

Benefiting from Xinjiang’s strategic positioning as the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. boasts unique geographical advantages in cross-border trade. The company has built a three-dimensional multi-modal logistics system integrating highway transportation, China-Europe Railway Express and rail-sea intermodal transportation, effectively optimizing cross-border delivery efficiency and controlling logistics costs.

In terms of land transportation, relying on core border ports of Xinjiang such as Khorgos and Alashankou and China-Kazakhstan cross-border trunk lines, the company delivers large quantities of PVC, viscose fiber and other core products to Central Asian countries and Russia, greatly shortening the transportation cycle of inland industrial products entering Eurasian markets.

In terms of rail-sea combined transportation, the company connects coastal ports in Shandong Province. Overseas imported pulp and equipment are transported by sea to coastal ports and then delivered directly to Xinjiang production bases via railway. This model shortens the overall logistics cycle by 5 days, reduces the damage rate of bulk chemical products in transit, and effectively lowers comprehensive logistics costs.

In terms of digital foreign trade, the company seizes the policy dividends of the Urumqi Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone and has launched two professional cross-border e-commerce service channels. In 2023, its online foreign trade transaction volume exceeded USD 40 million, with more than 140 stable overseas online customers. The online business accurately covers small and medium-sized terminal buyers in Southeast Asia and South America, forming a complementary market pattern of offline bulk large orders and online flexible small orders.

4. Organizational Operation and Service System: Professionalized Layout and Refined Global Customer Service

In 2025, Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. completed the optimization of its organizational structure, integrating the original six business units into three professional business departments to realize flat and efficient management with clear division of responsibilities.

The Northwest International Business Department is specialized in offline bulk commodity trade in Central Asia, Russia, Belarus and other Eurasian inland markets, equipped with professional foreign trade talents proficient in Russian and Kazakh; The Southeast International Business Department is responsible for ocean-going markets covering Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, South America and Western Europe, undertaking long-cycle bulk commodity contracts and maritime transportation business; The Commodity Supply Department and Cross-border E-commerce Department are respectively in charge of imported equipment and bulk material procurement, as well as online global promotion and rapid fulfillment of small and medium orders.

Adhering to the integrated development of industrial chain trade and supply chain services, the company provides one-stop full-process foreign trade services, including product parameter consultation, production schedule docking, quality control, cross-border document processing, logistics booking and whole-process delivery follow-up. It flexibly adjusts product packaging and delivery cycles according to customer demands, implements monthly operation review mechanisms and dynamically optimizes international pricing strategies. The completion rate of core product sales targets exceeded 95% in the first three quarters of 2025.

5. Development Value and Future Outlook: Linking Xinjiang’s Real Economy to the Global Market

As the unified official foreign trade window of Zhongtai Group, Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. undertakes core industrial and regional economic values. Firstly, it efficiently digests the group’s large-scale self-produced capacity of PVC, caustic soda, chemical fiber and other products, opens up a stable overseas export channel for Xinjiang’s chemical manufacturing industry, and relieves domestic capacity digestion pressure. Secondly, it realizes two-way optimal allocation of global resources: importing high-quality overseas raw materials and advanced equipment to guarantee the sustainable development of Xinjiang’s chemical and textile industries.

Thirdly, it serves as a key carrier for Belt and Road economic and trade cooperation. Relying on the linkage advantage of the Tajikistan overseas industrial park, it promotes bilateral cross-border trade and economic exchanges, and sets a typical example for the internationalization of large local manufacturing enterprises in Xinjiang.

With 26 years of professional foreign trade experience, the company has established international standardized quality control systems adapted to hazardous chemicals and textile raw material trade, and has built stable brand influence in the Central Asian chemical raw material market. In the future, relying on the policy advantages of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Xinjiang Zhongtai Import and Export Co., Ltd. will continue to expand emerging global markets, optimize cross-border multi-modal logistics systems, deepen digital cross-border e-commerce business, and further improve its full-industry-chain international trade layout covering the whole world.
