The conference was chaired by Lei Jianbin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Northwest Operations Center of China National Testing and Testing Holdings Group. Secretary Lei Jianbin pointed out that the friction material industry has entered a critical period of transformation and upgrading and high-quality development under the new development pattern. How to cultivate new growth poles in the friction materials industry, accelerate the formation of new productive forces, strengthen collaboration chains, expand supply chains, and enhance value chains are major issues and urgent tasks before us. With the theme of “Industrial Upgrading through Scientific and Technological Innovation”, this conference was chosen to be held in Zaoyang City, Hubei Province, a friction material industry cluster, because this is where we have developed the most after the bankruptcy and restructuring of 18 asbestos products factories and state-owned enterprises in the era of planned economy. In the vast city, many front-line workers of the original Hubei Asbestos Products Factory were self-reliant and self-employed. They used money to set up enterprises, build factories, engage in production, and run the market, which embodies the spirit of Guangwu craftsmen and creation in the imperial hometown. At present, 41 companies have obtained CCC certification for automotive brake linings, initially forming an industrial cluster for friction material products, which has contributed to the economic development of Zaoyang City and the improvement of people’s living standards.
