Pursuant to the agreements, TESC shall invest in construction of the production lines for an annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes steel cords on the Lands. The Tengzhou governmental authorities shall assist TESC in the construction project, such as handling relevant procedures for the construction, facilitating in the construction of infrastructure of the project such as water, electricity and roads, and assisting in application of governmental policy support and applicable support funds. The construction project has commenced to acquire the machineries and constructure the factory plant, ancillary facilities and peripheral roads since November 2019. The project is carried out by phases according to the market conditions and the financial capacity of the Company from time to time. As steel cord market has been in short supply for a long period of time, the Group strives to enhance its productivity. During the year under review, the Group continued to propel an expansion plan at TESC. Our steel cord/wire production capacity at TESC was expanded to reach an annual production capacity of 160,000 tonnes. Together with the annual capacity of 80,000 tonnes at JESC, the Group’s annual production capacity of steel cords increased to 240,000 tonnes as at 31 December 2021. Since the increase in productivity significantly enhances the Group’s core competitiveness and profitability, the Group continues to make great strides towards its goal to manufacture over 300,000 tonnes of high-quality steel cords annually.
