“All of our business segments are doing well, including Industry Technique, Compressor Technique, and also Construction and Mining Technique. All of our products are products used by other industry companies to produce other equipments, and our products are helping our customer to be more productive in their work. Generally, the largest operation cost is by far the cost on energy consumption, over the life cycle of manufacturing equipment. Therefore, the lower energy consumption, the better the product is for our clients. With the high energy price now, our whole product development focus is on efficiency of energy consumption. “ said Mr. Brock.

When discussing environmental protection, Mr. Brock remarked: ”We do in China as we do elsewhere. We never compromise our activities in China on environmental issues. We implement in China the controls and procedures we have in the Group regardless where we operate. And of course, those standards and practices are substantially stricter in many other countries than those in China today, therefore, we are at the forefront in China when it comes to catering for environmental issues, no matter whether it is noise, air pollution, water or emissions.”
