Raynham, MA (Oct. 25, 2018) — After over two years of construction, the new CET Technology Center was completed and grandly opened on Oct. 16. The new facility is located in Cao Feidian, Tangshan City, Hebei Province and covers an area of 980,000-plus-square-feet. The facility adopts the world’s leading inventory system and advanced automatic production lines to further improve production capacity, product quality, and provide more reliable and high-quality products and services to customers around the world.

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.

The grand opening ceremony started with the ribbon cutting ceremony at the CET Imaging Technology Center.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony, Steven Ma, the president of CET, announced that the company is launching a new CET land development project facing the Technology Center. The new CET Industrial Park will cover 12.9 million square feet and will be used for the production of pulverized toner.

The leaders from the government of Cao Feidian District, delegates from Mitsubishi Chemical Cooperation, together with CET senior managers, marked the new venture with a Foundation Laying Ceremony. CET celebrated the new endeavor with an elaborate fireworks display. After the ceremonies, guests were invited to visit the new CET Imaging Technology Center.

In addition to the establishment of a new R&D and testing center, CET also expanded the production area so that capacity is now 1.3 times that of the previous facility. The new warehouses cover an area of more than 86,160 square feet and use the WMS intelligent warehouse and picking system that will greatly improve shipping efficiency, creating even more value for CET customers.

During the afternoon ceremony at the International Investment Promotion Conference of Cao Feidian District, Ma addressed the guests.

In his remarks, Ma mentioned that in this new age of scientific and industrial revolution, CET will follow the national strategy and adopt the most scientific management concepts to achieve industrial automation and modernization in the new technology center.
