The Centennial Forum was jointly organized by the Precious Metals Working Committee of the China Resource Recycling Association and Norilsk Nickel. The Precious Metals Annual Meeting was guided by the Precious Metals Working Committee of the China Resource Recycling Association, hosted by Tonghua Platinum Enterprise Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and in cooperation with Xi'an KL New Materials Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation Metal Trading (China) Co., Ltd.
The Centennial Forum focused on the development direction and R&D of new materials in the application of platinum group metals, aiming to promote the development of innovative application fields for platinum group metals, maintain the sustainable development of the platinum group metals industry, and promote the future with new productivity. The forum attracted more than 150 participants from domestic and foreign universities, research institutes, research institutions, and representative enterprises in the R&D, production, processing, and application of platinum group metal new materials.
Dmitry Izotov, head of the Norilsk Nickel Palladium Center, said in his opening remarks that this was the first conference organized by the Norilsk Nickel Palladium Center in China, and he expressed special thanks to Secretary-General Bianjiang and the CPMIC team for their support of the forum. The Norilsk Nickel Palladium Center is committed to commercial R&D, aiming to bring new palladium-based materials to market. Currently, the center is undertaking a cross-departmental project that plans to develop 100 new materials by 2030.
Secretary-General Bianjiang stated in his speech that in 2024, platinum group metal prices remained stable without major changes in consumption structure, and the industry continued to improve its quality and upgrade, making it imperative to boost platinum group metal consumption and promote the innovative application of platinum group metal new materials.
