Headquartered in Beijing, CCFG was founded in 1953. It is the first "national team" in China's construction industry, and its development process is a microcosm of the development of China's construction industry. In 1959, the Ministry of Construction Engineering (the predecessor of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development) awarded CCFG the title of "Pioneer in Industrial Construction, Iron Army on All-Fronts", which is also the origin of CCFG's "Pioneer Culture". In 1994, CCFG was identified as one of the 100 national pilot enterprises for the reform of the modern enterprise system, taking the lead in implementing the modern enterprise system in China's construction industry. In October 1995, China Construction First Group Co., Ltd. was established and officially listed in 1997, realizing the transformation from an "engineering bureau" under the planned economic system to a "limited liability company, LLC" under the market economic system.
CCFG deeply cultivates both domestic and international markets, promotes the coordinated development of investment and operation, engineering construction, design and scientific research, and strategic emerging businesses. It is committed to becoming a high-end professional operator integrating design, investment, construction and operation (product operator, industrial operator, urban operator), providing customers with high-quality products and super-value services across the entire industrial chain. CCFG has more than 40,000 employees, over 30 wholly-owned and holding enterprises, a total bank credit line of more than 160 billion yuan, an AAA credit rating, and a registered capital of 10 billion yuan, ranking among the top in the construction industry.
