The event demonstrated the importance of fostering global efforts to advance the development of the chromium industry with strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability, and further underscored the ICDA’s position as a leading voice for chrome in China and on the global stage.
The ICDA Members Meeting 2025 in Ulanqab provided a valuable insight into the Chinese chrome industry. The event was attended by more than 150 delegates from China and other countries.
It received support from the Ulanqab Municipal Government, the Ulanqab Ferroalloy Industry Association, the Stainless Steel Council of the China Iron and Steel Association, and the China Ferroalloy Industry Association. Xin Gang Lian, the world’s largest ferrochrome producer, also provided support and sponsorship. Xin Gang Lian hosted a technical visit to its Fengzhen production site and a magnificent Zhama feast gala dinner.
“Since ICDA’s establishment in 1984, we have prioritised hosting our conferences in key locations for the chromium industry. Inner Mongolia and the Ulanqab region are of particular significance due to their role in ferroalloys and ferrochromium production in China.” Michelle Taylor, ICDA President
