Pingqian (Taicang) modern industrial park in Taicang’s Shaxi town achieved another investment milestone having attracted the settlement of Scotsman Ice Systems USA, a world leading supplier of ice machines.

Scotsman Ice Systems USA becomes the first USA-funded enterprise to settle in Shaxi and following an agreement that was signed between the United States of America company and the Shaxi authorities it is hoped the company will help to catalyze further business and foreign industry in the region.

In recent times, Shaxi town has striven to attract overseas investment, particularly from Europe and the United States of America. The town represents an excellent opportunity for foreign enterprises as demonstrated by the strong ties developed with German companies in Taicang.

In the first three months this year, five projects have been added to the park, including that of the Japanese vehicle fame manufacturer Kitamura Manufacturing Co, Ltd., and the Austrian packaging products producer ALPLA Group. Excitingly for Taicang, there are still nearly 30 projects under negotiation.
