Refrigeration hub comes out of the cold

Minquan county, in Henan province, used to be an impoverished agricultural region with a large population and weak industrial foundations. Today it is a major player in China's refrigeration industry.

Nicknamed "China's Cool Valley", Minquan High-tech Zone features industries including machinery manufacturing, wine processing and its major business- refrigeration.

More than 80 refrigeration companies are in the zone and nearly half of the refrigeration trucks used in the country are produced in Minquan.
