▲ On Jan.29,1950, "Jinxi Refinery Factory was renamed as "Jinxi Chemical Factory"（short form is Jinhua）.

Period of establishing national chemical industry base

JHCC is the earliest chemical experimental base for the production in China. Sixteen kinds of chemical products such as caustic soda, PVC, chlorobenzene, nylon, phenol and methyl ethyl methacrylate etc. were first successfully experienced and industrial achievement have been achieved here in JHCC and then spread all over the country for large-scale industrialized production. It has transported about 5000 technical workers, 200 corporation-level and division-level cadres to the newly built enterprises. There are six vice minister-level above cadres have everworked and lived in JHCC and it also helped some countries in southeast to construct a chlor-alkali enterprise. As a mother enterprise, six state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises and institution units here ever been separated from JHCC. For its splendid history, JHCC has won the honor of "cradle of China's chemical industry".

In 1959, Zhude inspected Jinhua

▲ On 1 June 1965, Jinxi Chemical Industrial Company was dissolved. Its chemical machinery factory was made independent and it became Jinxi Chemical Machinery Factory. The engineering company was relocated to Yinchuan and became The No.10 Chemical Engineering Company of the Chemical Department. A research and development institute was established and was named Jinxi Chemical Research Institute

▲ In September of 1982，factory was renamed as "Jinxi Chemical Parent Factory" with some branch factories.

From 3 to 10 of July 1999, the shares of "Jinhua Chlor-alkali"(81million shares) were promoted by three banks in Huludao city. The issue price was RMB 6.1 per share and total proceeds from the issue amounted to RMB 550 Million. The proceeds were used to purchase equipment for the annual production of 80,000 tons of ion film caustic soda and 120,000 tons of caustic soda supporting project. In September, JinHua Chlor-alkali Company Limited was formed and registered and on 11 October shares were listed in Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Joint venture & cooperation

▲ In 1997， Huludao Jinhui Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Co.Ltd. was invested together by JHCC, Winsway Corporation of Macao, Marubeni corporation of Japan, Wanhong（China）.

▲ In 1999， Huludao Jinhua PVC Co.,Ltd. and Huludao Jinhua chloroethylene Co.,Ltd. were established with the joint venture of JinHua and Hongkong Zhongliao Co.,Ltd..

▲ In 2000， Jinfeng Ethylene Co.,Ltd. was jointly invested by Laos Southeast Asia, Liaoning and Fengfang Real Estate Co.,Ltd..

Conversion of enterprise

Since July of 1984， JHCC has fixed factory tenet of "developing present products to pursue survival， developing new products to pursue development". Our country expects the old enterprises to follow the spirit of a focused and step by step approach towards reform. The factory firmly grabbed the opportunity of the "seventh-five-year-plan" and has then materalized such reform and reorganization. The State Department has approved the whole "seventh-five-year-plan" of JHCC on 24 February 1986. Sine then, the factory has started a large scale technological reform, expanded and readjusted the products profile. After the reconstruction plans in "seventh-five-year-plan" and "ninthe-five-year-plan", the factory has gradually developed itself to produce caustic soda, PVC, polyether as its leading products. JHCC became a large chemical conglomerate with a full range of products. Products during this period are:：caustic soda, phenol, phenylphenol, compound hydrochloric acid, byproduct hydrochloric acid, liquid chlorine , PVC, dichloroethane , organic glass, chlorohydrin, perchloroethylene, aminocaprolactam （polyamide fibre）, anone, cyclohexan, trichlorethylene , perchlorethylene etc.. Among these yearly capacity of caustic soda has reached 290 thousand ton per year, PVC has reached 130 thousand ton per year, polyether has reached 110 thousand ton per year, epihydrin has reached 130 thousand ton per year. Since 1993， according to the ISO9002 quality assurance pattern，《Quality assurance handbook》and 《program file》have been regulated. 13 products adopted international standard. 14 products have been chosen as excellent products in the country, province and department. In December of 1995, "Dongfanghong" brand caustic soda, PVC, cyclohexanone have already been listed into "Chinese famous brand commodity library". In January of 1999， quality assurance system of caustic soda, PVC, chlorylene, epihydrin, polyether, cyclohexanone, phenic acid has won ISO9002 international quality authentication certificate.
