SIJIA GROUP COMPANY (HK: 1863), a leading manufacturer of high quality soft-texture reinforced materials in the PRC, has once again boosted production capacity in order to chase growing demand and expand its business.
Its latest expansion includes new projects in both Shanghai and Fuzhou, constituting an investment of over 100 million yuan.
Sijia Group announced that the commissioning ceremony has been held in Shanghai Sijia Industrial Park and the new project in Fuzhou Manufacturing Center has been put into operation as of November 2012, so as to generate more profits and strengthen the group’s leading position.
The commissioning ceremony at the Shanghai Sijia Industrial Park was held last month, with the facility located in Shanghai’s Jinshan District with the project’s total gross floor area at 57,000 square meters.
“As new projects in Shanghai and Fuzhou Sijia Industrial Park have been put into operation successfully, the Group will devote more effort to building itself as a world-class plant of the most advanced technological and managerial levels.
“We aim to offer our customers products of better quality and better after-sales service,” said Sijia Group Chairman Lin Shengxiong.
China’s Ministry of Science and Technology rates Sijia as a “Key High-tech Enterprise of the 2012 National Torch Program.”
“In recent years, we have taken an active part in the formulation of national and international industry standards through participating in various conferences and activities.
“By mastering core technologies, we have also undertaken achievements in transformational projects under the National Torch Program,” Mr. Lin said.
He said this has all helped Sijia achieve the prestigious “Torch Rating.”
“This is another big step towards further entering the high-end market for new materials and clean energy. It also boosts momentum for Sijia Group’s further development,” Mr. Lin added.
Emphasizing the sustainable development of new materials and new energy, Sijia introduced high-precision automatic coating production lines from Italy for the new Shanghai project with the support of the PRC government, with investment in the project exceeding 100 million yuan.
The production line boasts the world’s leading technology and will begin operation after a complete process of careful adjustment and rigorous inspection by Sijia as well as Italian manufacturers, enabling the Group to become a domestic manufacturer with state-of-the-art equipment producing reinforced materials.
R&D Strengths
Sijia Group’s R&D technologies and high-precision automatic equipment enable it to produce reinforced materials that outperform peers nationwide.
It is expected that annual production capacity could reach 11 million meters after the automatic coating production line is fully put into operation.
Owing to the professional trust it has earned, Sijia has secured orders from long-term customers, and the company is confident the new production line can be conducive to Group revenue.
Meanwhile, a new project was put into operation in the manufacturing center of Fuzhou Sijia Industrial Park on November 11.
Equipment for the new project was introduced from advanced mechanical equipment manufacturers overseas.
The environmentally friendly soft reinforced materials are new materials and new energy projects as defined by the “National Torch Program” and Twelfth Five-Year Plan.
Compared with previous equipment, the new equipment contributes to diversifying product offerings with higher automation and precision levels.
Smaller numbers of operation staff also help to lower labor costs and provide necessary development space for expanding capacity and improving efficiency.
