Self-developed manufacturing equipment is key for China's high-end manufacturing drive, said a top executive of Inner Mongolia North Heavy Industries Group Corp.

The company's independently developed steel tube extruder has made the country self-sufficient in high-end steel tube supplies to the power generation industry, said Pang Haiping, director of IMNHI's special steel department.
