China Wind Systems, Inc. to Expand Forged Product Facility and Produce Electro-Slag Re-Melted Products

Posted on: Monday, 5 October 2009, 07:30 CDT

WUXI, Jiangsu Province, China, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Wind Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CWSI.OB) ("China Wind Systems" or the "Company"), a leading supplier of forged products and industrial equipment to the wind power and other industries in China, today announced plans to expand its recently completed state-of-the-art forged product facility with a new production line, enabling the Company to manufacture electro-slag re-melted (ESR) forged products for the high performance components market of the wind power industry.

China Wind Systems has ordered the initial machinery for the expansion project, which is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2010, pending financing. At full capacity, the ESR production line is expected to be able to produce 6,000 tons of products that are currently priced at approximately RMB 30,000 (USD $4,390) per ton. Due to the high performance and specialized nature of ESR applications, the Company believes that it will be able to achieve significantly higher margins for ESR products than for its current forged products.

"ESR technology is utilized to increase the durability and quality of steel material used in high-quality yaw bearings and other high performance components," commented Mr. Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of China Wind Systems, Inc. "We are confident that by manufacturing these high-end forged products, we will enhance our brand recognition in the industry and increase our profitability."
