Zhangjiagang, a county-level city in Suzhou, witnessed the inauguration of the first phase of Han's Laser Technology Industry Group's East China headquarters on Nov 30.
As the world's largest industrial laser equipment manufacturer and a key supplier of foundational industrial equipment and automation in China, Han's Laser Technology Industry Group is spearheading this monumental project. With a total investment exceeding 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion), construction of the facility in Zhangjiagang commenced in 2022.
The base is dedicated to high-end, intelligent equipment such as laser, photovoltaic, and new energy equipment and engages in production, research and development, and sales, serving as the group's East China regional headquarters.

Expected to be fully operational within five years, the Zhangjiagang base's production capacity will account for 60 to 70 percent of Han's Laser Technology Industry Group's total capacity. This strategic move positions the base as a top global laser hub, poised to effectively address domestic demands for the enhancement and replacement of intelligent manufacturing equipment.
