The chemical industrial chain of the Urumqi State High-tech Industrial Development Zone houses industrial companies related to fine chemicals, oilfield engineering and coal chemicals.

Thanks to the advanced technology and the rich coal resources in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, the zone is working to produce coal products with high added value.

Large coal businesses include Shenhua Group, Yankuang Group and Henan Coal and Chemical Industry Group Company Limited, all of which have set up branches there.
