The Tsingshan Holdings Group (Chinese: 青山控股, ching-shan) is a Chinese private company active in the stainless steel and nickel industry.
Tsingshan Holdings was founded in 1988 by Xiang Guangda in Wenzhou.[2] It moved into the Indonesian nickel industry in 2009.[3]
Among its assets are:
- Bases for nickel-chromium alloy smelting, stainless steel smelting and steel rolling in Lishui, Fuyang, Yangjiang and Qingyuan
- A share in the Morowali Industrial Park - a nickel processing facility with at least 20 smelters in Morowali Regency, Sulawesi, part of the Belt and Road Initiative[4][5]
- Chrome ore mines in Zimbabwe
- Sales outlets in Foshan, Wenzhou, Shanghai and Wuxi[6]
Tsingshan was ranked 279th in the Fortune Global 500 for 2021.[7] It has been described as the world's largest nickel producer.[8]
In early 2022, Tsingshan experienced financial difficulty after shorting the price of nickel, only to see it rise.[9][10][11] The firm took losses of about USD 1 billion, and later disbanded its internal futures trading team.[12]
