Shuangshui Town's key construction project - Guangdong Huatang Industrial Co., Ltd., has completed more than half of its main project construction since the start of the year and is expected to begin trial production after the Spring Festival next year.

Reporters saw on-site that the Huatang construction site was bustling with activity, with nearly 100 workers and multiple machines working in an orderly manner. The main factory building, three stories high, has completed the first floor and is currently constructing the second floor. The main factory building is expected to be completed in mid-to-late November. Meanwhile, the company's project procurement team has ordered equipment, and the installation of large-scale equipment will begin in late November. They aim to complete equipment installation before the 2016 Spring Festival and begin trial production after the festival.

Zhao Si Jiang, General Manager of Guangdong Huatang Industrial Co., Ltd.: “We developed a project schedule in advance, dividing it into many project teams, including civil engineering, process engineering, equipment, procurement, and logistics. To ensure progress and coordination, each team holds a coordination meeting every Saturday, and a large coordination meeting is held every month to ensure that the tasks of each project team are synchronized.”

It is understood that Guangdong Huatang Industrial Co., Ltd. is a privately-owned food production enterprise that mainly uses sugar as a raw material to produce refined sugar, refined sugar syrup, and caramel color. The project officially settled in the B area of the Yinzhou Lake Paper Industry Base in Shuangshui Town at the beginning of 2014, covering an area of 100.4 mu. The planned investment is 300 million yuan, with a planned scale of a 503,400-ton annual sugar processing production line. It can achieve an annual output of 300,000 tons of refined sugar, 240,000 tons of refined sugar syrup, and 100,000 tons of caramel color. After the initial 300,000-ton project reaches its production capacity, it can achieve an annual sales revenue of approximately 2 billion yuan and pay approximately 80 million yuan in taxes. After the entire project reaches its production capacity, it can achieve an annual sales revenue of 3.74 billion yuan and pay nearly 300 million yuan in taxes.
