Vontron to use new water tech for profit

Guiyang, Guizhou-based Vontron Co Ltd, a Chinese manufacturer of membrane-based water treatment equipment, is preparing to tap the ultrafiltration segment, having tasted success so far in the reverse osmosis process.

It is also augmenting capacity and expanding into new business areas, said a company executive. Membrane manufacturing capacity would increase from 16 million square meters to 30 million sq m by this yearend.

Vontron is expecting to achieve double-digit sales growth this year. Jin Yan, its general manager, said annual sales are projected to reach 660 million yuan ($100 million), up about 11 percent year-on-year. Last year, sales grew 14.7 percent from 2015.
