Wuxi welcomes high-end manufacturing projects to settle in the new district. Wuxi will create a good environment and support Dana’s development in the new district. The high-end equipment manufacturing industry is one of the pillar industries in Wuxi City, and it is also a strategic emerging industry that will be focused on during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. Wuxi will, as always, give all-round support to enterprises. He also hopes that Dana will be established through the Asia-Pacific R&D Center. Opportunities to further increase investment in R&D and increase the added value of products will become bigger and stronger in Wuxi.
