WUHU, Anhui - Anhui Conch Cement Co Ltd, China's biggest cement producer, plans to add 10 million tons to its annual capacity by 2015 through overseas expansion, by setting up factories of its own and acquiring international rivals weakened by the European debt crisis, a senior company official said.
Over a thousand-year period, the merchants of Anhui province, collectively known as the Huishang, became a legend for their hard work.
There has been a number of cities in Auhui province emerging recently along a 400-kilometer stretch of the Wanjiang River that are the focus of a new national economic modernization plan, centered on Anhui, the provincial capital.
