Recently, the 100,000 tons of Brazilian iron ore imported by SUMEC International Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SUMEC-ITC") successfully cleared customs and arrived at the destination, marking the first order of the new year for the expansion of overseas mineral resources.

Iron ore is a crucial raw material for steel manufacturing and is of great significance to a country's infrastructure construction and the development of its industrial economy. Brazil is rich in iron ore resources and is one of the main sources of China's iron ore imports. The Brazilian iron ore fines IOC6 imported by SUMEC-ITC are characterized by dense particles and are less likely to generate liquid phase during the sintering process, which plays an important role in ensuring that domestic steel enterprises can achieve high-quality and stable production and supply of resources.

For a long time, SUMEC-ITC has always adhered to the orientation of serving the national strategy, giving full play to the advantages of its supply chain integrated service capabilities in global trade. It has continuously optimized the layout of key markets such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Americas, strengthened the construction of the development and circulation capabilities of high-quality overseas resources, centering around the requirements for the supply and guarantee of key strategic resources of the country. In 2024, SUMEC-ITC achieved a cumulative import of more than 13 million tons of various mineral resources, with a year-on-year increase of 97%.

This year, SUMEC-ITC will continue to strengthen its core functions and core competitiveness, actively promote the transformation and upgrading of supply chain and industrial chain businesses, improve quality and efficiency, and contribute to the construction of a more secure, stable, and sustainable global supply chain resource guarantee system.
