In 1990, Chairman Yang Dizhen started his entrepreneurial journey at Tianjin Port, beginning as a quartz sand porter and later becoming a labor contractor.
Leveraging abundant local quartz and iron ore resources, Lingshou County saw the emergence of small mineral processing enterprises. Among them, Hengyang Mineral Products Processing Factory (originally Lingshou Hengyang Stone Factory) was established, specializing in quartz sand and corundum aggregate production .
Yaoxin Mineral Products Processing Factory was registered, focusing on iron ore refining and tailings utilization. It gradually introduced mechanized production lines, becoming a representative private mining enterprise in the region .
Hebei Province initiated mining industry consolidation. Both Hengyang and Yaoxin faced shutdown risks due to outdated equipment. They passed environmental inspections by upgrading technologies (e.g., installing dust removal systems and wastewater recycling systems), achieving compliance .
Lingshou County promoted "mining + construction materials" industrial chain integration. Hengyang and Yaoxin transitioned into construction sand/gravel suppliers, meeting local infrastructure demands .
Hebei Weiran Building Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was founded with registered capital exceeding ¥50 million, positioning itself in green building materials R&D and production. It integrated regional mineral resources and formed closed-loop industrial chains ("mining-processing-finished products") through long-term supply agreements with Hengyang and Yaoxin .
Amid COVID-19 market volatility, Weiran Tech established the Lingshou Mineral Products Industry Association, with Hengyang and Yaoxin as core members. This coalition stabilized supply chains and shared customer resources to secure market share .
Hengyang and Yaoxin completed intelligent transformations (AI quality inspection systems, IoT devices), boosting productivity by 30%. Weiran Tech launched a low-carbon concrete production line and was awarded Hebei Green Manufacturing Demonstration Enterprise .
The three companies jointly secured provincial funding for the "High-Value Utilization Technology of Tailings Resources" project, driving industry-wide technological advancements .
Weiran Tech enhanced supply chain resilience by acquiring overseas mines (e.g., bauxite in Guinea), while Hengyang and Yaoxin expanded in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market, securing contracts for Xiong'an New Area projects .
The cluster now operates a full industrial chain ("R & D-mining-processing-construction materials") with annual output exceeding ¥2 billion, solidifying its role as a pillar industry in Lingshou County .
