In the first half of the year Hengtuo's bearing export orders grew significantly year on year, with products shipped to more than 20 countries and regions across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa. Insert bearing units grew fastest in grain-processing and agricultural machinery markets; large spherical and tapered roller bearings gained share in Middle-East mining and South-American cement equipment; deep groove and thrust ball bearings won long-term customers in general machinery. The company is upgrading export packaging, multilingual technical support and logistics channels to sustain the growth.
