Ordos Equipment Manufacturing Base is a new type industrial base cultivating and developing non-resource based industries in response to the needs of accelerating economy structural transformation. It is the autonomous region’s important industrial zone in the economic belt along the Yellow River and major traffic arteries, and will focus on high technology, value-added and environmental modern equipment manufacturing industries and their supporting enterprises. 

It is situated approximately 9 kilometers to the north of Dongsheng district and 5 kilometers to the south of Kangbashi district, a key urban industrial belt connecting Dongsheng District and Kanga District. The control area of the equipment manufacturing base is 95.51 square kilometers, divided into industrial development, living facility and logistics service, with a planning area of 89.6 square kilometers and a built area of 68.6 square kilometers. Currently, it has developed four leading industries, composed of auto equipment manufacturing, energy equipment manufacturing, electronic product manufacturing and environmental protection.

Since the equipment manufacturing base was built in 2008, it aims to build a new ecological industrial town in adherence to scientific planning and high standard construction. In line with the original landscape, the architecture style is well proportioned with green conservation and the surrounding landscapes. 

By the end of July 2016, the base attained a fixed-asset investment of 9 billion yuan ($1.3 billion). It has since built 150 kilometers of roads and the water, electricity, gas, communication and heating facilities are all completed, reaching the first category industrial park standards of Ordos. More than 7 million square meters of road landscapes are forested and one mountain park of 500,000 square meters has been built, preserving an ecological setting. In addition, the education, health and cultural facilities have been constructed, the base city frame has been formed, and the city’s functions are increasingly complete alongside an increasing industrial carrying capacity.

By the end of July 2016, the equipment manufacturing base introduced a total number of 95 projects with an agreed investment of over 180 billion yuan. Of these, there are 36 automobiles and parts manufacturing projects, 24 energy industry projects, 5 in electronics and 6 concerned with environmental protection as well as some other 24 projects. Moreover, the end of July 2016 saw 54 projects begin production, 14 projects being built, 6 projects in preparation stages as well as 21 reserved projects.

Ordos Equipment Manufacturing Base attaches importance to business development and continues to improve environmental investment. By attracting investment around the Bohai Sea, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, it actively takes over the industrial transfer from the developed area, cooperating with national and international investment groups and introducing a series of large investment and high value-added projects. 

Meanwhile, the base continues to improve its services and propel project construction. It has formed a continuous trajectory in which some are going into production, some are getting started, some have been introduced and while others remain in reserve.
