Premium Beauty News - You have planned a significant investment over several years and with the first stone being laid next year!

Joe Wang - Absolutely! This is a considerable investment, as you said, that will be phased over several years. With the rapid development of China’s economy in recent years, the cosmetics industry is developing very quickly in China. Having 30 years’ experience in establishing factories in local China and with the wish to meet all customers’ needs, we finally located the new factory in HaiMen, JiangSu, after multi-parties’ investigation and evaluation. The formal signature ceremony with the HaiMen Port New Area Administrative Committee was held on July 8 , 2014. The first 99,000 sqm production plant is scheduled to start operations on the 1st July, 2015.

Eventually, the new plant will cover an area of over 360,000 square meters with a three phase investment plan. Besides the existing various cosmetic packaging which were currently made in the Shanghai plant, our HaiMen plant will be further extended to environmental aerosol valve, pharmaceutical, food packaging and other products.
