Hirun Engineering aims to shake up seismic market

Wuhan Hirun Engineering Equipment Co Ltd said it is aiming to export more bridge and anti-seismic products, after building its first high-performance seismic testing machine earlier this year to simulate earthquake effects.

Hirun, a manufacturer of bridge bearings and seismic isolation products, is a wholly owned unit of Wuhan Marine Machinery Plant Co Ltd, a major ship equipment supplier in China.

"We are upgrading our core technologies as China strives toward the goal of innovative manufacturing," said WMMP Chairman Ma Juyong.
