Hefei, August 17 (China News Service) (Reporter Han Suyuan) Since the beginning of this year, the manufacturing investment in Fuyang City, Anhui Province has continued to grow, becoming a highlight of economic operation.

Behind the data growth, more and more emerging industries are "gathering into a fire" and traditional industries are "sprouting new branches", which together become the driving force for Fuyang's economy to move forward.

One after another, automated equipment operates efficiently. On one side of the production line, workers in protective clothing are operating computers to monitor the equipment's operating data in real time. Various instruments in the laboratory are running busily, and engineers are seizing the opportunities in research and development... When you enter Fuyang Xinyihua New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.
