Our news (Liu Ying)   Reporter Li Nan) yesterday, the foundation laying ceremony of the composite insulator and lightning arrester project of Dalian electric porcelain Group Co., Ltd. was held in the Central Industrial Zone of the Development Zone, where the largest composite insulator production base in Northeast China and the largest insulator electrical laboratory in Northeast China will be built. As the largest strategic investment project in the history of Dalian electric porcelain, it will greatly improve the major technical equipment and basic software level of its power transmission and transformation supporting products, and enhance its independent innovation ability and core competitiveness. Old leader Lin Qingmin, director of the Development Zone Management Committee Zhang Shikun and assistant Mayor Liu Yan attended the foundation laying ceremony.

The project covers an area of 60000 square meters, is located in the north of Wolong Industrial Park, adjacent to Tuyang expressway, with a total planned investment of 690 million yuan, and will be completed by the end of May 2010. After putting into operation, it is estimated that the annual sales revenue will be 880 million yuan, the profit will be 121 million yuan, and 500 people will be employed. The project is a joint venture with Rapp of the United States and introduces international advanced production technology, technology and equipment. Its products will meet the needs of the rapid development of the national UHV and foreign composite insulator market, and the market prospect is very broad.

It is reported that composite insulators have the advantages of low energy consumption, light weight and strong anti pollution ability. Since 1985, Dalian electric porcelain has cooperated with Tsinghua University to develop composite insulators. It is one of the earliest manufacturers to develop and produce composite insulators in China, but many development opportunities were lost due to the planned economic conditions at that time. Since 2005, Dalian electric porcelain has incorporated composite insulators into the important development strategic planning of the group company, enhanced the independent R & D capacity of composite insulators, comprehensively improved the process equipment and testing level, and rapidly developed the production capacity and technology of composite insulators. In 2006, Dalian electric porcelain passed the qualification and performance review of potential bidders for centralized bidding of 220 kV and above power transmission and transformation projects of State Grid Corporation of China, and became one of the five designated bidding enterprises for composite insulator products of State Grid Corporation of China. In 2008, its composite insulator achieved an output value of 50 million yuan, and this year is expected to achieve an output value of more than 100 million yuan（ Dalian daily home page > Thursday, June 11, 2009)
