We have to roll out new products design and offer to our customers in order to stay competitive in the market. We had set up a Research and Development center in China to focus on developing new UHP equipment to support our other subsidiaries in their biding for the new UHP contracts. This R&D center which is located at Chuzhou, China had so far submitted two applications for patents of our new innovations of high-low temperature-controlled exchanger and specialty gas cabinet together with its exhaust system.

Continuous Improvement
