Sichuan Jiuda Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (condiments) In the early 20th century, to improve salt quality so that Chinese people could have clean and affordable salt, Fan Xudong – praised by Mao Zedong as “one of the four industrialists the Chinese people must never forget” and honored as the “father of China's national chemical industry” – founded the Jiuda Refined Salt Company in Tanggu, Tianjin in 1914. In 1916 the company produced China's first batch of refined salt – white in color, fine-grained and high in purity – ending the era in which Chinese people could only eat coarse, low-grade salt. After the July 7th (Marco Polo Bridge) Incident, Fan Xudong refused to cooperate with the Japanese, and in July 1938 relocated the Jiuda Refined Salt Company to Zhangjiaba, Ziliujing, Zigong, Sichuan, founding the Jiuda Salt Industry Company Zigong Model Salt Factory, the predecessor of the Zigong Zhangjiaba Salt Chemical Plant. In the early years of the People's Republic, Jiuda took the lead in public-private partnership, establishing the public-private joint Zigong Jiuda Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in 1951. After successive reorganizations and the nationalization of the Zigong salt industry, five major salt enterprises gradually took shape: the Zigong Zhangjiaba Salt Chemical Plant, Zigong Da'an Salt Plant, Zigong Ziliujing Salt Plant, Zigong Gongjing Salt Plant and Zigong Dengguan Salt Plant. In March 1991, with the approval of the Sichuan Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, Sichuan Jiuda Salt Industry (Group) Company was formed around eleven units: the Zigong Zhangjiaba Salt Chemical Plant, Zigong Da'an Salt Plant, Changshan Salt Mine, the Well and Rock Salt Design and Research Institute, Zigong Ziliujing Salt Plant, Zigong Gongjing Salt Plant, Zigong Dengguan Salt Plant, the salt industry geological drilling brigade, the light industry machinery plant, Shuping Salt Plant and the salt industry technical school. Sichuan Jiuda Salt Industry (Group) Company is located in Zigong, Sichuan – the “Millennium Salt Capital” – an area with a salt-making history of more than 2,000 years. Its Weixi mining area is rich in brine resources, with proven recoverable reserves of about 142.96 million tons; pure in texture and excellent in quality, rich in 27 trace elements and more than 40 macro elements, it is a natural, environmentally friendly raw material beneficial to human health. Over the long course of salt mining and production, Zigong's salt pioneers created countless historical wonders: they invented cable-tool (impact) percussion drilling, solution mining of thin-layer rock salt with connected wells, and open-basin gas recovery techniques; “impact percussion drilling technology” has been hailed as “the world's fifth great invention” and “the father of world oil drilling”; the Tongsheng Well Contract signed by salt well investors in 1779 was concluded by the renowned economist Li Yining to have “pushed China's stock history forward by 100 years”; the Shenhai Well, drilled in 1835, was the world's first well deeper than 1,000 meters; the former Shanxi merchants' guild hall, the Xiqin Guild Hall – today's Zigong Salt Industry History Museum – is China's only salt industry history museum; and on May 20, 2006, the “Zigong well-salt deep-drilling production technique” was approved by the State Council for inclusion in the first batch of the national intangible cultural heritage list. Countless historical wonders have created the brilliant well-salt industrial civilization of more than 2,000 years in the Millennium Salt Capital. Sichuan Jiuda Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the restructured enterprise of Sichuan Jiuda Salt Industry (Group) Company, has nearly 3,000 employees, registered capital of RMB 306 million and total assets of RMB 3.4 billion, and is mainly engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and sales of edible salt, industrial salt and specialty salts. The company has three major salt production bases – Zigong in Sichuan, Daying in Suining and Yingcheng in Hubei – with a combined salt production capacity of nearly 3 million tons per year. It commands the core technology of China's vacuum salt production process and equipment, and owns the national salt industry's State-recognized Enterprise Technology Center, a comprehensive Grade-A design and research institute, the National Well and Rock Salt Industry Information Center and the National Well and Rock Salt Product Quality Testing Center; it also hosts the secretariat of the Well and Rock Salt Sub-technical Committee of the national standardization administration, giving it a leading voice in the management, standards and technology of China's well and rock salt sector. It has undertaken more than 100 key national, provincial (ministerial) and municipal research projects, more than 40 of which won major science and technology achievement awards at those levels, and holds 49 product and technology patents. More than 85% of China's vacuum salt-making installations were designed by the company, and it has developed 6 major product series with nearly 200 varieties. The company's products are certified to the ISO9001:2015 international quality management system; its flagship product, Ziliujing brand refined salt, won the national well and rock salt silver award and is a national geographical indication product. Since the salt industry system reform took effect on January 1, 2017, Sichuan Jiuda Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has entered the market directly and built its own sales channels; through more than two years of effort, the company and its subsidiaries have set up more than 200 branches nationwide, with nearly 200,000 logistics distributors and end customers. Sichuan Jiuda Salt Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is the restructured salt-making enterprise of the Jiuda group in Zigong, Sichuan, a city with more than 2,000 years of salt history, employing nearly 3,000 people with registered capital of RMB 306 million and total assets of RMB 3.4 billion.The company runs three salt production bases in Zigong, Daying of Suining and Yingcheng of Hubei with a combined capacity of nearly 3 million tonnes per year; it has designed more than 85 per cent of China's vacuum salt-making plants, undertaken over 100 national and provincial research projects and holds 49 product and technology patents.Its main products cover edible salt, industrial salt and specialty salt, with the Ziliujing brand refined salt winning the national well and rock salt silver award and being listed as a national geographical indication product under ISO9001:2015 certification; sales reach all 31 provincial-level regions and export to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
