History

edit

Ba Yi Iron and Steel Group

edit

The steel plant in Ürümqi (Chinese: 新疆八一钢铁总厂) was founded in 1951[4] by the People's Liberation Army (PLA). It was named "8 1" based on the date of the establishment of PLA on 1 August 1927. It was one of the 18 small-sized steel plants established in 18 provinces of China.[5] Ba Yi Iron and Steel was one of the 512 important state-owned enterprises in 1997. (1 of 47 iron and steel industry)[6]

It became a limited company after the marketization of China. A subsidiary was incorporated in 2000 to float the main steel manufacturing business in the stock exchange.

In 2007 Ba Yi Iron and Steel Group was renamed from "Xinjiang Ba Yi Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd." (Chinese: 新疆八一钢铁集团有限责任公司) to "Baosteel Group Xinjiang Ba Yi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd." (Chinese: 宝钢集团新疆八一钢铁有限公司). Baosteel Group acquired 69.56% stake of the company by injecting new share capital into the group (for CN¥3 billion), diluting the stake of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the People's Government of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to 15%. Xinjiang SASAC also transferred their stake to their wholly owned subsidiary "Xinjiang Investment Development (Group) Co., Ltd." (Chinese: 新疆投资发展(集团)有限责任公司) in the same year. In 2014 Ba Yi Iron and Steel Group was recapitalized again. The other shareholders of the group was China Huarong Asset Management for 7.95% stake and "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd." (Chinese: 新疆维吾尔自治区融资担保有限责任公司) for 0.12% stake.
