Small, cheaper but world-class

Cibei, one of China's "hidden champion" manufacturer of oral and maxillo-facial implants, said it plans to intensify its research and development activities and export its upcoming product upgrades to economies covered by the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Ningbo-based company mainly provides maxillo-facial systems, neurosurgical systems, dental screws and other instruments used in the medical industry.

"One of my friends happened to introduce this industry niche to me, and I thought I can do it, so I started this company in 1995," said Shen Guocheng, the owner of Cibei.
