To vigorously promote the “craftsman spirit,” foster a professional ethos of “excellence in skills is respected and honored,” boost the morale of frontline welders, and effectively enhance the welding quality of structural components—thereby securing a competitive edge in an increasingly fierce market—following the Group’s “Safety and Quality Month” initiative, on June 19, the Zhejiang‑based subsidiaries held a welder skills competition at the heavy‑steel workshop of the Zhejiang Company’s new facility, under the theme “Upholding Quality, Pursuing Survival.”
This welding competition consists of two parts: theory and practical skills. The practical component includes two welding tasks—horizontal welding and vertical welding. Upon receiving the notice of the competition, employees from all workshops promptly registered and enthusiastically participated, with a total of 28 employees taking part.
On the day of the competition, the overcast, rainy, and muggy weather did not dampen the contestants’ enthusiasm. All participants were in high spirits, lined up neatly, and brought their own welding equipment. They listened carefully as the judges outlined the competition requirements, rules, scoring criteria, and important precautions, with the judges particularly emphasizing the penalty points listed in the guidelines.
At 9:30 a.m., the theoretical exam commenced. Whether tackling the questions after a brief moment of reflection or after careful deliberation, all participants approached the test with great seriousness and diligence, striving to complete it thoroughly. Once the exams were submitted, the judging panel promptly began the meticulous process of grading.
The practical competition began at 12:15 p.m. To uphold the tournament’s spirit of “fairness and impartiality,” the order of participation was determined by drawing lots. Each group consisted of seven contestants, with four groups taking turns on the field, and each participant was allotted 90 minutes for their event.
Once the competition staff, supervisors, and scorers were in place, the judges meticulously verified each contestant’s information. At the chief judge’s command, “The competition begins,” the contestants skillfully got to work—measuring dimensions, sanding test plates, and gripping their brightly glowing welding guns as they flawlessly welded steel plates with shimmering arcs. Each welder remained fully focused on their own piece, and every competitor shone brilliantly amid the dazzling flames. After a tense and fiercely contested round, all participants completed their entries, and the judging panel conducted rigorous evaluations, including visual inspections, instrumental measurements, and ultrasonic testing.
After approximately five hours of intense competition, the final results were determined according to the scoring rules—70% based on practical performance and 30% on theoretical knowledge. Six contestants emerged victorious, standing out from nearly 28 finalists. Mao Baojun, Han Zongming, Wu Huaming, Liang Haojie, Yuan Weixing, and Meng Haotao respectively claimed first, second, and third place. A formal awards ceremony was held, during which Zhu Jianhua, Executive Deputy General Manager of the Zhejiang Company; Wang Zhongyou, Vice Chairman of the Group Trade Union;特邀 expert Zhang Gaozhang; skills master Jiang Ge; and Zhu Weiqing, Manager of the Manufacturing Department, presented the winners with certificates of honor and cash prizes.

Through this competition, while we are delighted to see an overall improvement in welding proficiency, we have also identified the technical gaps among the participants. This has further motivated both veteran and new employees to proactively enhance their skills, fostering a growing culture of quality awareness. As a result, our commitment to “Quality First, Happiness at Yuangong” has grown even stronger!
