Dangshan Mindray Medical Technology Industrial Park is located in Dangshan Economic Development Zone, covering a total area of about 298 mu and a gross floor area of approximately 200,000 square meters. The modern precision machining plant is scheduled to start production in the first quarter of 2023; all supporting facilities and the international conference center will be delivered for use at the end of 2024.
Upon completion, the park will become the fourth largest manufacturing base of Mindray in the world, covering the orthopedic field, producing high standard bone nails that meet the specifications of human implants, providing core components for other bases through precision machining and conventional machining, and supporting the assembly of various main business products. As an important part in the supply chain of the group's products marketed to the world, the base will help the group's products to become globally leading with its sophisticated maching technology.
Li Xiting, chairman of Mindray, said that Mindray’s investment in Dangshan County is not only because it has a responsibility and emotion to develop its hometown, but it values more the broad space for development and late-development advantages in the county. In recent years, Dangshan County has seized the strategic opportunity of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta region to focus on building a cluster area that undertakes industrial transfer in northern Anhui. The construction of Dangshan Medical Device Industrial Park will promote the development and growth of the healthcare industry and facilitate the high quality economic development in the county.
The construction of Dangshan Mindray Medical Technology Industrial Park is an important milestone in Mindray’s development and Dangshan’s economic development. Looking ahead, Mindray will continue to join hands with Dangshan County for in-depth cooperation. It will make joint efforts to write a new chapter of cooperative development.
