Core businesses

The Beijing Capital Group has four core businesses:

Overseas investment

France

The Sino-EU Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, built by BCG in 2012 in Châteauroux, France, was the first large-scale comprehensive industrial park in a developed country established and operated by a Chinese enterprise.

Despite these 2012 announcements, in 2020 the investments were not finalized, and the forecasted industrial park was no longer planned to be set-up in operation.

New Zealand

The Beijing Capital Group acquired Trans-Pacific Industries (TPI) in New Zealand in June 2014 for NZ$950 million and set up the Beijing Capital Waste Management NZ Ltd (BCWM NZ). Regulatory approval was received from the New Zealand Government's Overseas Investment Office (OIO) in October 2013. In the New Zealand solid waste disposal sector, BCWM NZ has the largest market share, at 31 percent. As of December 2015 BCG's investment in BCWM NZ is the single largest Chinese direct investment in New Zealand. In line with its application for Overseas Investment Office approval, Beijing Capital Group announced it would invest NZ$98 million in BCWM NZ to buy new assets, develop landfill capacity, and introduce new anaerobic digestion technology at the Redvale landfill in Auckland.
