Sweden-based ESAB, a world leading welding and cutting equipment manufacturer, said last week it will invest US$30 million to build its first welding wire plant in China.

Located in Zhangjiagang, East China's Jiangsu Province, the plant is expected to annually produce 40,000 tons of solid wires for welding processes from its opening next month. ESAB wants to increase its market share in China from the current 1 per cent to 10 per cent in the next five to ten years.
