DunAn to supply top nuclear plant

Editor's Note: Beyond the glamour world of digital unicorns, star startups and publicly listed e-commerce and internet giants, there is a little known parallel universe of unsung corporate heroes that drive China's new-age entrepreneurial ventures. These are the low-key (and sometimes segment-leading) privately owned companies that are redefining innovation, the mantra that China swears by, as it seeks to transform itself from a mass-scale manufacturer of cheap goods for the world to a manufacturing giant of top-end products. These are the firms that have made fresh thinking and a bold approach to business their trademark - be it making customized garments for men or incorporating digital payment systems into wearable technologies. In a new series, China Daily celebrates the birth and growth of these awe-inspiring, attention-deserving enterprises. In this first part, we profile DunAn Group, a Hangzhou-based high-tech industrial equipment manufacturer that has supplied equipment to projects in 23 nuclear power plants in countries including China, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Argentina and Egypt.

Hangzhou-based DunAn Group, a private high-tech industrial equipment manufacturer, will supply high-grade air valves and cooling units to China General Nuclear Power Corporation's phase II project at the Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant by the end of this month, Chairman Yao Xinyi told China Daily in an interview.

The total supply contract value is 130 million yuan ($19.6 million), said Yao, and the equipment would assist the operation of the new-generation Hualong One nuclear reactor in the power plant, in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
