Shanxi province's biggest production plant for home appliance injection molded products – Jinlu injection molding project – was commissioned in Changzhi Economic and Technological Development Area in Changzhi city on Dec 28, according to local officials. 

Funded by Shanxi Jinlu Injection Molding Technology Group, the injection molding plant covers an area of more than 10.6 hectares and involves the research and development as well as production of LED support products, home appliances, injection molded parts and molds.

Officials said it cost 1 billion yuan ($143.53 million) and includes four production workshops with a total area of 7 hectares and more than 1,400 pieces of production and testing equipment.

So far, two production workshops have been completed since the project's construction was started in May last year. Office buildings, employee canteens and dormitories are under construction. 

Once in production, the plant will provide products for leading domestic home appliance manufacturers such as Midea, Gree, Aux and Haier. 

The plant has capacity to produce 100 million injection molded products annually for home appliances, with an annual output value of 1 billion yuan – providing over 1,200 new jobs.
