Hecheng’s Suzhou factory mainly produces toilets, washbasins and water tanks, with washbasins accounting for most of the production capacity, and its original plan was to have an annual production capacity of 1 మిలియన్ యూనిట్లు, but due to an oversupply in the market, it only produces 500,000 కు 600,000 యూనిట్లు. Although the Suzhou factory stopped production in the second half of the year, there are still OEM factories supplying and selling products, so the mainland market is still there. The difference is that, after adjusting its business strategy, it will reduce costs and increase gross profit in the regional market, which will help the group’s future operations.
