天津开发区从零艰难起步，在基础十分薄弱的条件下“摸着石头过河”，闯出了一条新路。拥有高度自主权，建立起了高效的管理机制、完善的法律制度体系；大力实施基础建设，创建出独特的区域“滚动”开发建设模式；打破传统观念限制，大胆提出“投资者是帝王、项目是生命线”以及建设“仿真的国际投资环境”等一系列“服务型政府”理念的口号，形成推动区域发展的强大合力，吸引了丹华、嘉泰陶瓷、哈娜好、梅兰日兰等一大批企业前来投资落户，为开发区积累了原始资金。此后，泰达持续优化营商环境，提升服务质量，携手企业共同发展，谱写出与企业共同成长的精彩乐章。
Starting from scratch, TEDA faced significant challenges in its infancy. We crossed the river by feeling for stones, and blazed a trail amid hardship. With a high degree of autonomy, TEDA established efficient management mechanisms and a sound legal system. It vigorously implemented infrastructure construction and created a unique regional rolling development pattern. Breaking free from traditional constraints, TEDA boldly put forward concepts such as “Investors are kings, projects are lifelines” and advocated for the construction of a “simulated international investment environment”, embodying a service-oriented government. This concerted effort drove regional development and attracted a large number of investors such as Danhua, Jiatai Ceramics, Hanaco, and Merlin Gerin to invest and settle in TEDA, accumulating initial capital for its development. Subsequently, TEDA kept on optimizing business environment and improving service quality. It collaborated with enterprises for mutual development, composing a brilliant chapter of shared growth.
丹华自行车：在速度与激情中走向国际市场
Danhua Bicycle: Racing Towards the International Market with Speed and Passion
1985年初，天津开发区与丹麦雅迪有限公司签订合同，合资兴办“丹华企业有限公司”。这是泰达第一家合资企业，极大地鼓舞了开发区的建设者们。
In early 1985, TEDA signed a contract with Denmark’s Yadi Co., Ltd. to establish the joint venture, Sino-Danish Enterprise Co., Ltd., also known as Danhua. This was TEDA’s first joint venture, and it was inspiring.
兴奋之余，开发区人冷静下来发现，这个项目并不是块儿好啃的“骨头”。近1万平方米的厂房要在当年建成当年投产，如此短的工期，对于水电等基础设施还不完善的泰达而言，实属难事儿。开发区人就是要迎难而上。他们从几十公里以外拉来建设用水，没日没夜地奔波在工地上，项目终于如期完工，但是厂房地面并没有通过外方专家的验收。眼看合同中双方约定的投产时间越来越近，近1万平方米的地面却需要铲掉重新铺设，此时投资者对项目按时投产提出了质疑。“投资者是帝王”，开发区人珍惜这个来之不易的项目。“满足投资者的要求，即使再难也得做。”他们憋着一股劲儿，一定要打响招商引资的“泰达”品牌，树立起泰达的国际形象。在大家的齐心协力下，1万平方米的水泥地面在极短的时间内重新修建完成，地面平整如镜，丹华公司如期投入运营。以投资的需求为中心，“新手”泰达通过努力，赢得了投资者的信任。此后，“精益求精”成为开发区建设、管理与服务的永恒追求，并激励区内企业为此不懈奋斗。
Excited as they were, TEDA’s pioneers started to realize that this project was not as easy as it seemed. With nearly 10,000 square meters of factory space needing to be completed and put into production within the year, it was a difficult task for TEDA, where basic infrastructure such as water and electricity was still inadequate. Nevertheless, the pioneers of TEDA were determined to face the challenges head-on. They brought water supply from tens of kilometers away, toiled day and night on the construction site, and finally completed the project on schedule. However, the factory floor failed the inspection by foreign experts. As the deadline approached, with nearly 10,000 square meters of flooring having to be removed and re-laid, investors began to question the timely operation of the project. “Investors are kings” and people of TEDA cherished this hard-won project. “Even if it’s difficult, we must meet the investors’ demands”. Fully resolved, they worked tirelessly to build the TEDA brand for investment promotion globally. The concerted efforts made the reconstruction of 10,000 square meters of concrete flooring possible in a very short time, with the ground was as smooth as a mirror. Danhua was finally put into operation as scheduled. By focusing on the needs of investors, the young TEDA won their trust through hard work. Since then, the pursuit of excellence has become the eternal standard of our construction, management, and service, inspiring local enterprises to strive tirelessly.
不久，“普佳骑”这款色彩靓丽、款式新颖的自行车从丹华公司下线，走入国人的视线。弯把没有后座，款式和色彩完全按照国际市场需求设计，全新的焊接、喷漆工艺，迅速引领起一股时尚的潮流，并成功占据了国际市场，同时全面带动了天津乃至全国自行车行业的升级换代，推动了同类传统工业的发展，为中国的制造业注入了朝气与动力。
Before long, Pujiaqi, a colorful and fashionable bicycle, rolled off the production line at Danhua, catching the eyes of the Chinese people. With its stylish design and vibrant colors, a bent handlebar without rear seat, Pujiaqi was tailored to meet the demands of the international market. Thanks to its new welding and painting techniques, the brand new bicycles quickly set a trend and captured the international market. They also drove the upgrading of bicycle industry across the country. As a result, China saw the growth of similar traditional industries, which injected vitality and momentum into China’s manufacturing industry.
嘉泰陶瓷：从默默无闻到泰达的“金字”招牌
Jiatai Ceramics: From Obscurity to TEDA’s Golden Brand
天津嘉泰陶瓷工业有限公司是开发区的第一家企业，也是开发区建区初期引进的投资最多、厂房最大的企业。项目总投资1200万美元，厂房面积2万平方米，1986年春正式开工建设。尽管时间紧任务重，但此时的开发区已经总结出了一些在盐碱滩地上开发建设的经验和诀窍，工程施工质量在不断提升，因此整个施工现场有条不紊。
Tianjin Jiatai Ceramics Industry Co., Ltd. was the first enterprise established in TEDA and also the largest one in terms of investment volume and factory scale in the initial stage of TEDA. With a total investment of $12 million and a factory area of 20,000 square meters, construction officially began in the spring of 1986. Despite tight deadlines and heavy workloads, TEDA got the hang of the development on the saline-alkali wasteland. The construction was going on in an intense but orderly manner, with its quality greatly improved.
开拓、创新，项目就是生命线。泰达人不断刷新项目进度，原本需要两年建成的生产线，短短八个月就进入了试生产。开发区打了一个漂亮仗。然而，嘉泰陶瓷投产后的一段时间内，经营未见起色，直至1991年后才开始盈利，瓷砖产品畅销国内外。
Exploration and innovation are vital for projects, and projects are lifelines to TEDA. The TEDA pioneers constantly pushed forward the project construction and completed the production line that were supposed to finish within two years in just eight months, enabling the company to start trial production way ahead of schedule. TEDA made a hit. However, for some time after Jiatai Ceramics went into operation, its operations did not see much outcome. It wasn’t until after 1991 that the company began to turn a profit, with its ceramic tile products selling well both at home and abroad.
在嘉泰陶瓷迎来大发展的同时，开发区也是一路成长，城市基础建设不断升级，从“三通一平”到“七通一平”“九通一平”，“仿真的国际投资环境”逐渐成型，吸引越来越多的企业前来投资建厂。城市的建设和新企业的落地为嘉泰陶瓷提供了广阔的市场，推动企业持续发展。
TEDA grew along with Jiatai Ceramics. Urban infrastructure was improved constantly. Land was flattened and sites were connected to more public utilities, from three types at the beginning to seven and nine types. With the simulated international investment environment gradually taking shape, an increasing number of enterprises came to invest and establish factories. The urban construction and establishment of new enterprises provided a broad market for Jiatai Ceramics and drove it to grow.
哈娜好：最好的合作伙伴就是共同成长
Hanaco: The Best Partnership Is Shared Growth
天津哈娜好医材有限公司是中国高分子医疗耗材行业的开拓者之一，至今仍然活跃在泰达生物医药产业的舞台。这家深耕泰达38年的企业，一路见证了泰达的发展，也得益于泰达的发展，是与泰达共成长的企业典范。
A pioneer in China’s polymer medical consumables industry, Tianjin Hanaco Medical Co., Ltd. remains active in the pharmaceutical industry in TEDA to this day. This company, which has been deeply rooted in TEDA for 38 years, has witnessed TEDA’s development and benefited from it. It serves as a role model for growing together with TEDA.
然而，哈娜好起初的落户并不顺利，日方投资者对项目在开发区的盈利和发展没有十足的信心，处于观望犹豫阶段，合同迟迟没有签订。这一次，开发区人学会了换位思考，主动出击。“我们要在理解他的同时，创造条件促使他坚定信心。”开发区始终将“为投资者提供方便，让投资者赢得利润”的理念贯穿于整个招商引资中，尽可能高效地完成投资者的诉求，打消他们的疑虑。在企业遇到厂房建设资金困难时，开发区出谋划策，将本来极低的1000元/平方米厂房工程造价又压缩了一半，切实帮助企业解决了问题，成为与企业并肩作战、探索项目落地发展的坚实伙伴。
Yet, things were not easy for Hanaco when making decision to invest in TEDA. The contract was delayed as Japanese investors were hesitant about the project’s profitability and prospects here. This time, TEDA learned to empathize and took the initiative. “We need to understand investors while creating conditions to boost their confidence”. Throughout the investment attraction process, TEDA provided convenience for investors and enabled them to gain profits, efficiently addressing their demands and dispelling their doubts as much as possible. When the enterprise financially strained in factory construction, TEDA provided assistance by halving the already low construction cost of 1,000 RMB per square meter, making the enterprise financially viable to finish construction. TEDA thus became a solid partner in project implementation and shared growth alongside the enterprise.
被泰达的服务所折服，哈娜好最终选择落户。受益于区域不断优化的营商环境和集聚发展的产业规模，企业深度扎根泰达，持续增资扩产，成立企业技术中心，不断推进“本土化”进程的同时，也为泰达生物医药产业注入了活力。
Impressed by TEDA’s services, Hanaco eventually chose to locate here. Benefiting from the improving business environment and growing industrial scale, Hanaco rooted itself in TEDA and continuously increased investment and expanded production. The company established technology centers and kept on improving the localization process, injecting vitality into the local biopharmaceutical industry.
2019年，哈娜好公司进行了最新一轮的股权变更，由天津天时泽投资管理中心全资控股，进入了一个全新的发展阶段，先后被认定为国家高新技术企业、天津市科技小巨人领军培育企业、天津市专精特新“种子”企业，产品覆盖全国并远销亚洲、美洲、欧洲等地。
In 2019, Hanaco entered a new stage of development, marked by a new round of equity changes with Tianjin Tianshize Investment Management Center acquiring full ownership. Subsequently, the company was recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise, a Sci-tech Little Giant Enterprise, and a Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative Seed Enterprise in Tianjin. Its products are sold nationwide and exported to Asia, the Americas, Europe, and other regions.
开发区建区初期就把招商引资作为头等大事，在极其艰难的条件下起步，披荆斩棘一路走来。开放开拓、坚韧敬业、知难而进的精神成为开发区人的精神行囊，鼓舞着他们永不满足、一路向前。
Attracting investment was a top priority in the early days of TEDA. Starting from extremely difficult conditions, TEDA forged ahead through obstacles in the spirit of openness, exploration, dedication, and perseverance.
由于资金短缺，开发区采取“滚动开发”的模式，将基础设施建设作为基础，以此吸引一批项目落户。项目建成后，开发区又将获得的财政收益用于基础设施建设，实现“滚动开发、良性循环”，创造出了良好的投资环境和工业生产环境。在这个过程中，泰达的管理和服务理念持续提升，工程施工质量、环境建设技术、城市发展规划以及盐碱地绿化等方面取得大幅突破，为后期因地制宜进行科学合理的城市建设积累了丰富的经验。
Due to a shortage of funds, a rolling development model was adopted to attract projects with infrastructure as the foundation of industry growth. After projects were completed, TEDA utilized financial revenue for further infrastructure construction, realizing a rolling development in virtuous cycle. Eventually, TEDA created a favorable environment for investment and industrial production. Our management and service concepts continued to improve significantly along the way. With breakthroughs made in construction quality, environmental technology, urban development planning, and saline-alkali land greening, the model generated rich experience for rationally constructing the urban area according to local conditions in the later stages.
而早期一批企业的成功盈利，也使开发区的发展潜力逐渐被广大投资者认可，为之后区域吸引大型跨国公司、科技公司、大项目的落地奠定了基础。
The success and profitability of enterprises in TEDA’s early days gradually gained recognition from a large number of investors. Large multinationals, technology companies, and major projects soon followed.
