A local fire technology company has broken foreign monopolies in key safety equipment. Hubei Jiandun Fire Technology now holds nearly 1,000 patents and sells its products in more than 40 countries.
Located in the Yichang High-tech Zone, the company operates the world’s first automated production line for aerosol fire-extinguishing agents. With global demand rising this quarter, the plant is running at full capacity.
