Equipment manufacturing fuels new growth

Located at the heart of the booming Pearl River Delta region, the Guangdong city of Foshan is a compelling destination for equipment manufacturers because of its solid industrial foundation and huge local demand.

Adding to the success of manufacturers is strong support and efficient services from the government, according to local entrepreneurs.

"Generally speaking, government officials in Foshan have a strong sense of serving businesses and are used to doing that," said Zhou Zhitong, chief of the Foshan Bureau of Commerce.
