Schuler AG, a member of international technology Group ANDRITZ, has signed a contract for the acquisition of a 51% stake in the Chinese press and machine tool manufacturer Yangzhou Metal Forming Machine Tool Co., Ltd. (Yadon).Yadon is one of the leading manufacturers of mechanical presses in China and has annual sales of approximately 120 million euros. It was agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The acquisition is subject to approval by anti-trust authorities.Yadon is based in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, around 300 kilometers north of Shanghai, and has a staff of approximately 1,100 employees at three locations in China. The main customer segments served by Yadon include the automotive supplying, household appliances, and metal working industries in Eastern China. The investment in Yadon extends Schulerʼs product portfolio in the middle and lower price segments and provides access to a customer base not yet served in China, the largest market in the world for presses.Following start-up of TM1 in January of this year, international technology Group ANDRITZ has successfully started up the second tissue paper machine with steel Yankee supplied to Zhejiang Jingxing Paper, China. The PrimeLineST C8 machine has a design speed of 1,900 m/min at a width of 2.85 m. The Yankee, manufactured entirely of steel, has a diameter of 18 feet. In combination with its head insulation and the steam-heated hood, it enables a high drying capacity at reduced energy costs. At its Pinghu City location, Zhejiang Province, Zhejiany Jingxing Paper produces high-quality facial wipes and toilet paper grades.
Morning of March 21, 2014, Beijing institute of armored force engineering research Dr Du Jianhua line to Xiangsheng Group, Group vice President ZhuBaiQing fiber division general manager BaoJianFeng, Xiaoshan science and technology service center NiZhaodi and members of the company research and development center "fiber enhanced lightweight composite materials and typical components research" project communication.Du Jianhua doctor, Dr Zhao Xiaolin around ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber research background, research contents, technical index, the design of project research and application, etc.Which involve an important technical difficulties with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber surface modification, three-dimensional woven casting manufacturing, matrix, RTM curing process research vacuum injection molding technology, etc., and around the technical difficulties are introduced emphatically, and at the same time on the armored force engineering institute of Beijing "fiber enhanced lightweight composite materials and typical components research" the progress of the work, the further cooperation between both sides, provides the reference.
Xiangsheng group the main research focus on the current carbon nanotubes modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, fiber resin matrix selection and evaluation of monofilament pull out strength, etc. Report points out that the carbon nanotubes modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers can obtain good performance, the interface with various types of resin matrix have good compatibility and cohesiveness.
Related communication after the report, project on the next step of work and its process considerations agreed consensus, and plans to Beijing the early stage of the armored force engineering institute concluded that the theory of industrialization of research results in high strength on the production line to try.Finally, ZhuBaiQing vice President made a speech on summary report on both sides of the communication, proposed that the two sides on the basis of establishing multi-level interaction, negotiate cooperation actively, little detours, show outstanding research results as soon as possible, make joint
efforts to project actual effect.
