Emerging Big Market for Surface Finishing
Southwest China has become the main engine of China economic growth in recent years. With government support, Chinese industries are expanding from east to west; thus, business investment has increased rapidly in the west.
As an indispensable part of the manufacturing industry, surface finishing is in great demand for the development in the southwest. Many electroplating parks and surface finishing processing zones are set up to introduce electronic plating, plastic plating, metal plating, anodic oxidation, phosphate, spray, electrophoresis and other kinds of surface treatment enterprises.
