The steel refinery was found in 1952 in Fularji District, Qiqihar. The refinery was the only special steel maker in the First Five-year plan of China (1953–1957), with the aid of Soviet Union. The refinery was completed in 1957. It was one of the 512 important state-owned enterprises in 1997. (1 of 47 iron and steel industry)

In 1993, the steel refinery was incorporated as a subsidiary Beiman Special Steel Co., Ltd. and listed in Shanghai Stock Exchange (as sse: 600853), which Bei Steel Group Co., Ltd. was the major shareholder for 64.32% stake. In 2001, the assets of the refinery was sold back to the parent company, while the listed company was sold to another state-owned enterprise and renamed to Longjian Road and Bridge, as a reverse IPO. Bei Steel Group Co., Ltd. was also renamed to Beiman Special Steel Group Co., Ltd.. .
