CHANGSHU, China, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sutor Technology Group Limited (the "Company" or "Sutor") (Nasdaq: SUTR), one of the leading China-based manufacturers and service providers for fine finished steel products used by a variety of downstream applications, announced that it completed its upgrading of 200,000 metric tons pre-painted galvanized (the "PPGI") production line at Changshu Huaye Steel Strip Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Sutor, and the subsidiary is ready to resume PPGI production immediately.
Lifang Chen, Chairwoman and CEO of Sutor commented, "We undertook the upgrading of the PPGI production line voluntarily. We upgraded the line to improve production efficiency and coating utilization, thereby resulting in energy-saving and cost-cutting. The replacement of two-roller coating technique by three-roller coating technique will make the surface of our new PPGI products more smooth and their painted color brighter. We believe that these new upgraded PPGI products will be more widely used in downstream industries such as new energy, high-end household appliances, IT, and building materials."
"In recent years, Sutor has been focusing on research efforts on market segmentation of our products. Through technology and equipment upgrading, the Company aims to add value to its products in the long run. Relying on our own technical and R&D teams, we provide customized products and services to target customers. We believe product improvement and innovation are our core competitiveness and recipe to become one of the best service providers in fine finished steel supply chain," Ms. Chen concluded.
