On September 1, 2021, the much-anticipated Universal Beijing Resort began its grand trial operation and officially opened to the public on September 20. This is the fifth Universal Studios theme park globally and the third in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the largest Universal resort to date, attracting attention from tourists across China and around the world since its inception. It is estimated that Universal Beijing Resort will attract 11 million visitors annually.
As China's first Universal Studios theme park, Universal Beijing Resort not only incorporates elements of traditional Chinese culture into its design, but also extensively uses domestically produced equipment in its construction. More notably, it embodies numerous ingenious techniques and technological innovations unique to Chinese engineers, showcasing the technology and capabilities of "Made in China" to the world.
Among the key contributors to the construction of Universal Beijing Resort, Far East Cable Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Far East Smarter Energy Co., Ltd. (referred to as: Far East Shares, Stock Code: 600869), participated in the mechanical and electrical installation project of the fourth contract section, supplying wire and cable products. With high-quality products and services, Far East supported the construction of Universal Beijing Resort, fully demonstrating the comprehensive strength of an industry leader and leaving a significant mark on the construction history of the resort.
Universal Beijing Resort features seven themed lands, 37 rides and attractions, 24 live entertainment performances, 80 dining venues, and 30 retail stores. Many classic IPs cherished by fans, including Kung Fu Panda, Transformers, Minions, and Harry Potter, will all make appearances.
Unlike ordinary projects, Universal Beijing Resort relies heavily on advanced technologies and cinematic special effects, requiring uninterrupted power supply to ensure smooth operations. This places extremely high demands on the power supply system, with efficiency, reliability, and stability being paramount. Not only is it necessary to customize power supply solutions based on specific conditions, but the quality of the wires and cables is also critical. Substandard cables could severely impact the power system and even create safety hazards. Therefore, ensuring the quality of wire and cable products is both crucial and fundamental.
On this point, Far East Cable has always adhered to a high-standard "quality lifeline," strictly controlling product quality. Quality consciousness is integrated into every detail of production and operations, with each product rigorously following national standards from raw materials to manufacturing processes. In fact, for many products, inspection results for structural dimensions, electrical performance, and mechanical performance exceed national standards. Additionally, the company has dedicated itself to research and actively participated in, or led, the formulation of multiple national and industry standards, driving high-quality industry development through stricter benchmarks.
Due to this unwavering commitment to quality, Far East Cable became the first company in China's wire and cable industry to win the "National Quality Award," and has repeatedly received honors such as the National Machinery Industry Quality Award, National Model Enterprise for Quality Integrity, and Jiangsu Provincial Quality Award. It has contributed intelligent cable products and system solutions to major national projects including CITIC Tower, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Beijing Daxing International Airport, the Shanghai World Expo, and the Shanghai World Financial Center, fully demonstrating its comprehensive capabilities.
Leveraging its advantages in technology, quality, and service, Far East Cable earned high recognition from the contractor—China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd.—for the mechanical and electrical installation project of the fourth section at Universal Beijing Resort. Eventually, both parties signed a purchase contract, under which Far East supplied wire and cable products, including flame-retardant wires, helping ensure the smooth progress of the project.
As an industry leader, Far East Cable continues to participate in numerous key projects, and Universal Beijing Resort marks another outstanding achievement on its list of major engineering contributions. In the future, Far East Cable will continue to deepen its expertise in the wire and cable sector, providing even higher-quality products and services to support more major engineering projects and make greater contributions to national and socioeconomic development.
