Green companies catch attention at German fair

Chinese environmental companies have attracted interest from customers at the international industrial fair IFAT, which was held in the German city of Munich from May 14 to 18.

Chinese environmental equipment manufacturer Zoomlion Environmental Industry Group unveiled two new types of compression garbage collector and self-loading garbage collector at the show.

The company’s overseas sales director, Leon Ou, said the structure and safety of both machines have been optimized to comply with the European standards, and are competitive in price compared with similar European products.

China Tianying Inc, an environmental solutions provider, exhibited their full-package solution for municipal solid waste collection and treatment.

Its European subsidiary project engineer, Xu Jingwen, said the company had accumulated a lot of experience thanks to the scale and execution efficiency of environmental projects at home.

“We can also offer great flexibility and local adaptation when going overseas, which also explains why we are attractive to foreign customers,” Xu said. Chinese waste-to-energy business Everbright International (Changzhou) displayed a screen to show its incineration and power generation service. The project enforces a stricter emissions standards than those in Europe, and can produce individualized designs for different customers. This year’s IFAT attracted more than 3,100 exhibitors and over 135,000 visitors worldwide. There were 125 exhibitors from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
