An operating step overseas
The 2013 report describes completion of the Egyptian 80,000-tonne line in a year of slow industry growth, trade pressure and higher energy and labour costs. Operating revenue was RMB 5.2096413 billion. Glass fiber and related products generated RMB 4.837600384 billion, representing 94.14% of main-business revenue. Other trade generated the remainder. The figures show the materials business and trading activities separately; the first overseas factory does not mean every overseas sales organisation was a manufacturing site.
