The new facility is located in Cao Feidian, Tangshan City, Hebei Province and covers an area of 980,000-plus-square-feet.

The celebration took place both in Beijing and at the factory facility in Cao Feidian. More than 200 customers and suppliers from the global OA imaging industry, Mitsubishi Chemical Cooperation, and Mitsubishi Chemical High-technical Cooperation attended the celebration.
