Jinpu New Area attracts major players

Dalian Gona Technology Group Co, a high-end numerical control machine tools manufacturer and a major investor in the Jinpu New Area in Dalian, Liaoning province, is planning to increase its capacity as demand for its products grows.

"Since we exported the first set of machine tools to Germany in 2013, the demand for our high-speed five-axis vertical machining systems has far outstripped supply," said Yu Dehai, Gona's chairman.

The company claims its system is so versatile, it can be used to make small aviation engine turbines, key components of precision instruments and other parts requiring high accuracy.
