Hop Ying Metals Technology Ltd

FACTORY and FOUNDRY

We have undergone a re-organisation recently and in addition to adopting western standards
into the factory we have added a new LPG gas furnace and recycling de-wax oven to our foundry equipment.
We do not use coal anymore and have reduced our carbon emissions by radical amounts.
All Factory workers are over school leaving age and the highest safety standards are supervised
and regularily checked for worker health and safety conditions. We have changed some suppliers of raw materials
to ensure the purity of our alloys to our customers requirements.
Recently, in April 2007, our Associate Mr. Andy Rae from the UK, came on a consultancy visit
to implement some of these changes and to make recomendations for future improvements
to increase customer satisfaction, re-ordering, and reducing the time for fulfilling those orders.
He will be able to make further visits to increase the smooth progress towards
global business demands and requirements.
