Henan Hengxing to expand diamond wire production: Galvanized steel wire and steel strand manufacturer Henan Hengxing Technology Co., Ltd. revealed its plans for non-public issuance of A shares in 2022. The company expects to raise an additional RMB 600 million ($84.5 million). This fund will be used to expand production of ultra-fine diamond wire and also towards working capital. A 20 million km of ultra-fine diamond wire production facility is also part of the plan. By expanding its diamond wire production capacity, the company expects to better meet the strong demands for diamond wire in the market. Last year too, the company had announced expansion of its diamond wire production capacity (see China PV News Snippets)
