Hawtai rolled out the first units of the New Shengdafei ("Santa Fe") in a ceremony today at its newest plant in Tianjin.
This also marks the inauguration of the plant, which is located in the Binhai New Area.

Additionally, Hawtai has acquired the former Tianqi Meiya plant and is in the process of upgrading and modernizing it.
This plant is located in Zhongbei town in the Xiqing district.
(Initially, I had written Hawtai's new Tianjin plant was the former Tianqi Meiya plant, but the two units are in different locations.)
