The disclosed furnace footprint describes existing manufacturing capability
At the end of FY2011, the report describes three large glass-fiber production bases and 13 tank-furnace lines. The wider report identifies the domestic bases in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Sichuan; this disclosure describes the existing manufacturing footprint, while the project notes explain individual upgrades and construction. Management also says it designed and built an alkali-free single-furnace line with annual capability of 120,000 tonnes, converted from the original 12 ten-thousand tonnes. That line is an example of disclosed engineering scale, not an extra FY2011 commissioning event or an amount to add again to the group's capacity. The cited passage does not identify the line's location. Management links large bases with production efficiency, stable product quality and manufacturing cost and describes proprietary alkali-free and medium-alkali tank-furnace drawing and waste-fiber recycling technology. Its world-ranking and cost-leadership statements remain company claims. Existing capability, annual output and incremental project capacity therefore require separate evidence rather than being combined into one growth measure.
