Recently, the Dongyang Rolling Needle Factory, which has been supporting the production of auto parts for Wanxiang Group, and the Wuyuan County Eco-industrial Park formally signed a contract to invest 16 million yuan in the establishment of the needle roller factory in the park to produce needle roller, roller and other auto parts.
Wanxiang Group is one of the 120 pilot companies of the State Council and one of the 520 key enterprises in the country. The successful entry of this project is another gratifying achievement in the development of an open economy in Wuyuan County. By then, auto parts manufactured by "Wuyuan" will go global with the "universal" industrial chain and service network.
