Established in 1953, Shanghai Power Plant Equipment Co., Ltd. is the first steam turbine factory in China. Covering an area of about 1 km2, the main equipment 1300 sets. There are about 3200 employees, including 20% engineers and technicians and 39.3% senior workers. SAIC mainly designs and manufactures thermal power turbines, nuclear power turbines and heavy gas turbines, and also produces marine turbines, fans and other power machinery. The domestic market share of products has reached more than 35%, and steam turbines have been exported to many countries in Southeast Asia. In 2006, the output of steam turbines reached 36 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world. On the basis of digesting and absorbing international advanced technology and management methods, enterprises learn from others and refine them comprehensively. The imported 300,000 kW steam turbine has reached the international advanced level, and it is the only national quality product gold award in China's machinery industry. Excellent performance of 600,000 kW steam turbine; Ultra-supercritical 1 MW steam turbine was successfully put into operation for the first time in China, reaching the international advanced level. SAIC's main products have been awarded the title of "Shanghai famous brand products" for 12 years.
In the past 50 years, SAIC has manufactured the first 6000 kW steam turbine in China, the first imported 300,000 kW steam turbine, the first 3 1 10,000 kW nuclear power steam turbine and the first ultra-supercritical 1 10,000 kW steam turbine, creating many firsts in the history of steam turbine manufacturing in China.
SAIC is the first machinery enterprise in China to pass the ISO900 1 quality system certification, and passed the ISO 1400 1 environmental management system and OHSMS occupational health and safety management system certification; SAIC has also won many honorary titles such as "National Model Enterprise for Building Harmonious Labor Relations", "National Advanced Enterprise for Implementing Excellent Performance Model" and "China Top 500 Machinery".
Driven by General Secretary Hu Jintao's inspection of the factory on July 28th, 2004, SAIC people are making great efforts to make new contributions to the development of power plant equipment manufacturing in China.
