Mr. Steven Ross, Executive Vice President of Longhai, said, "As the newly opened steel wire facility continues to ramp output, we expect to see continued year-over-year improvements in operating results throughout 2012. Although current production from our new facility utilizes the same raw material as our other production lines, over the next two quarters we expect to transition to higher quality steel wire to enable us to produce high quality and high margin products. We will continue to keep our shareholders updated on company developments."
Once fully ramped, the new facility will increase our overall capacity by approximately 60%, and have the capability to produce alloy steel, cold forging steel and welding rods. These higher margin products will allow Longhai to also address demand in additional markets beyond construction and infrastructure.
