Wenzhou News
On September 26, 2024, Zhejiang Wenzhou ignited the strong engine of economic development in the golden autumn with a series of major project signings and ground - breakings. At the Ruian Coastal New District, a hotbed for industrial development, SH - NOMEN Pharmaceutical Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. made a stunning appearance with its 120 - million - yuan "Sterile Valve Smart Manufacturing" project, injecting cutting - edge momentum into Wenzhou's biopharmaceutical equipment industry chain.
"Sterile Valve" Lights Up Smart Manufacturing New Track
As a standout project in the advanced manufacturing sector of this event, SH - NOMEN's sterile valve production base will establish China's first OEB5 - class sterile valve smart manufacturing factory. Its core product, the sterile αβ valve, has overcome the technical barrier of 0.1 - micron - level microbial interception and has obtained ISO 14644 international clean certification, successfully entering the supply chains of global pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
"Our sterile valves are equivalent to the 'heart' of pharmaceutical production," said Chairman Li Manrong of SH - NOMEN. Each valve is equipped with a smart chip that enables full - process visualization and traceability of production, offering a Chinese solution for biopharmaceutical aseptic filling. After going into production, it is expected to form an annual production capacity of 500,000 units, capturing 30% of the global market share.
Wenzhou's Investment Promotion Accelerates
In the third quarter of this year, Wenzhou's investment promotion team delivered impressive results: 174 projects were signed, 48 projects started construction, and both the total investment amounts exceeded the 100 - billion - yuan mark. Among them, strategic emerging industries such as new energy vehicle parts, biopharmaceuticals, and the digital economy accounted for over 40%.
"In the past, businesses sought policies; now, policies seek businesses," said Chen Yifeng, director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau. Wenzhou has innovated a "cloud - based land selection" model, enabling enterprises to match suitable land plots via mobile phones and reducing project implementation cycles by 60%. This "minimal - approval" reform has already helped 249 enterprises secure 6,716 mu of industrial land.
Government and Enterprise Collaboration to Create a "Sterile Silicon Valley"
"Choosing Wenzhou and Ruian is not only because this is my hometown but also because of the warm environment here," said Chairman Li Manrong. From negotiation to commencement, the project has set a new speed record for Wenzhou's investment promotion. The government has provided warm "nanny - style" services to effectively address enterprises' concerns.
With the advancement of these projects, it is expected that by 2026, the scale of Wenzhou's sterile equipment industry will exceed 30 billion yuan, forming a complete ecosystem integrating research and development, manufacturing, testing, and certification. This manufacturing city by the East Sea is using sterile technology as a breakthrough to seize new tracks in the global industrial chain restructuring.
