A valve manufacturer in north China's Hebei Province has significantly improved its productivity after installing six robotic arms purchased from a Swiss company during the third China International Import Expo (CIIE) in 2020.

Yuanda Valve Group Co., Ltd., founded in 1994, purchased six robotic arms from Swiss company ABB, a global technology and robotics leader focusing on digitalization, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability.

Headquartered in Oerlikon, in the outskirts of Zurich, Switzerland, ABB has taken part in CIIE for four consecutive years.

Initiated in 2018, the CIIE is the world's first dedicated import exhibition.
