Dangshan County, a county of Suzhou City, Anhui Province, lies on the boundaries of four provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan. As a farming-dependent county, Dangshan had always been a national poverty-stricken county till 2020. So how can Mindray promote the transformation and upgrading of local industrial structure and bring new impetus to economic development of Dangshan? Following the principle of mutual benefit, Mindray and Dangshan County leveraged their own strengths to deepen industrial cooperation and strengthen talent cultivation.
As an old line goes, "Plant the plane tree to attract the phoenix" , the investment in the construction of Mindray Medical Technology Industrial Park in Dangshan County not only contributes to Mindray's long-term development, but also introduces excellent industrial projects and talents to Dangshan County, which will drive employment and economic growth to further attract more desirable projects, and build a virtuous cycle of sustainability. And as implied by "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" , we look forward to empowering the rural revitalization of Dangshan County with the technology introduction and coordinated development of healthcare industry.
Mindray signed an agreement with Dangshan County in December 2020 to build the Dangshan Mindray Medical Technology Industry Development Co. , Ltd. , introducing advanced medical manufacturing into Dangshan County. In September 2021, after prudent research, Mindray positioned Dangshan Mindray Medical Technology Industry Development Co. , Ltd. as Mindray Dangshan Production Base (hereinafter referred to as "Dangshan Base" ), making it one of Mindray's main production bases across the nation.
Dangshan Base will gradually take over orthopaedics equipment production and machining processing functions of Mindray, seizing the chance to take the lead in industrial development by building intelligent and information-based factories. Expected to satisfy our needs for greater capacity and enhanced automated production, Dangshan Base will develop into a modern, green and garden-like industrial park, with 15-story office building and 90,000-square-meter modern plants for precision machinery processing. In addition, it will also be equipped with conference center in line with international conference standards, indoor gymnasium, parking building, and pedestrian corridors leading to the entire park, as well as green orchards with local features.
In the future, Mindray plans to set up a vocational and technical college, to better cultivate local technical talents. This move, while adapting to strong social demands and preparing for the local industry upgrade, will also lay the foundation for the reservation of high-quality talents at Dangshan Base. As at 31 December 2021, the first batch of recruitment for Dangshan Base was successfully completed. We will further send
selected employees from Dangshan Base to Shenzhen for training on production skills, and build up a talent pool for the local areas, well demonstrating our pioneering role in the industry.
