Joint venture between Graewe Maschinenbau and Ningbo Fangli Group
Chinese machine builders have entered joint ventures with established European machine builders to make their machines more acceptable in export markets. Ningbo Fangli Group Co. has had a joint venture with Graewe GmbH Maschinenbau in Germany since 2003, to integrate Fangli’s pipe extruders with Graewe’s high-speed pipe-coiling technology. Graewe-Fangli extruders and coilers use Chinese-built Siemens controls with software written by Fangli. More: KWD-globalpipe, 2008-04-01, No.275.
